Pins of connectors shall not be touched and connections shall not
be made without special precautions. Precautionary procedures
include methods to prevent build-up of electrostatic charge
(e.g., air conditioning, humidification, conductive floor coverings,
non-synthetic clothing), discharging one's body to the frame
of the equipment or system or to earth. It is recommended that
all individuals that will handle this device understand these
precautionary procedures at a minimum as part of their training.
Condensation may damage the device. If the device has been
exposed to either very hot or very cold temperatures, allow it to adjust
to room temperature (operating temperature) before starting therapy.
Do not operate the device outside of the operating temperature range
shown in the Specifications section later in this manual.
A properly installed, undamaged Philips Respironics reusable filter or
disposable, fine filter is required for proper operation.
Clogged inlet filters may cause high operating temperatures that
may affect device performance. Regularly examine the inlet filters as
needed for integrity and to check for accumulated debris.
Never install a wet filter into the device. You must ensure sufficient
drying time for the rinsed filter.
Make sure the air inlet holes on the side of the device are not blocked
by bedding, curtains, or other items. Air must flow freely around the
device for the system to work properly.
Do not expose the battery pack to extreme temperatures (see the
Specifications section for temperature specifications). If the battery
pack becomes very hot or very cold, allow it to come to room
temperature before using.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside of the battery pack;
therefore, do not attempt to disassemble or repair it.
Do not use extension cords with this device.
Do not place the device in or on any container that can collect or hold
water.
Do not place the device directly onto carpet, fabric, or other
flammable materials.
Tobacco smoke may cause tar build-up within the device, which may
result in the device malfunctioning.
