Battery Operating Instructions; Battery Care And Maintenance - Inogen One G2 Manual De Usuario

During your Flight
1. If using airline power port, remove the Battery from the Inogen One® G2 Oxygen
Concentrator. Due to aircraft power limitations, the Universal Power Supply cannot
be used to charge the Inogen One® G2 Battery when onboard aircraft.
2. Connect the appropriate DC Power Plug for the type of available airline power
(see photos on page 7 and 9). Check with airline personnel to ensure compatibility.
• During taxi, takeoff and landing, stow your InogenOne® G2 under the seat in front of you.
Your Inogen One® G2 will fit upright under most airline seats. However, if it doesn't fit you
may turn it on its side.
• It is not necessary to turn off your Inogen One® G2 during taxi, takeoff and landing if your
physician's written statement requires you receive oxygen during these periods.
CAUTION A change in altitude (for example, from sea level to mountains) may affect
total oxygen available to the patient. The Inogen One® G2 has been verified
to provide oxygen to specification up to 10,000 ft (3048 m). Consult your
physician before traveling to higher or lower altitudes to determine if your
flow settings should be changed.
After your Flight
• Remember to recharge additional batteries you may have used prior to your next flight.
Traveling By Bus, Train or Boat
Contact your carrier to find out about available power port availability.

Battery Operating Instructions

Ensure that the battery is in place and charged. Disconnect the Inogen One® G2 from its
power source. While the Inogen One® G2 is operating on battery power, the battery will
discharge. The display will indicate the estimated remaining percentage (%) or minutes of use.
When the concentrator detects that the battery life is below 10% remaining, a low priority
alert will sound. When the battery is empty, the alert will change to a high priority.
When battery life is low, do one of the following:
• Plug the Inogen One® G2 into an AC or DC power source using the Universal Power Supply.
• Replace the battery with a charged battery after turning off the Inogen One® G2 (by
pressing the ON/OFF button).

• If the battery is drained, charge the battery or remove it from the concentrator.
If the Inogen One® G2 is being powered by the Universal Power Supply, batteries will charge
during operation. Leaving your Inogen One® G2 plugged in past the full charge time will not
harm the concentrator or the battery.
Normal Battery Charging
To ensure that your battery is properly charging, inspect that the correct AC and DC power
output plug adapter is being used and that the adapter is properly inserted into the power
outlet. Observe the display or lights that indicate charging status.
NOTE When starting to charge a fully discharged battery, the charging process may
start and stop during the first few minutes.

Battery Care and Maintenance

Your Inogen One® G2 Lithium Ion Battery requires special care to ensure proper performance
and long life. Use only Inogen One® G2 Batteries with your Inogen One® G2 Concentrator.
Effect of Temperature on Battery Performance
The Inogen One® G2 12-Cell Battery powers the Inogen One® G2 Concentrator from 2 to 4
hours under most environmental conditions. To extend the run-time of your battery, avoid
running in temperatures less than 41˚F (5˚C) or higher than 95˚F (35˚C) for extended periods of
time.
Battery Time remaining Clock
The Inogen One® G2 continuously displays battery time remaining. This displayed time is only
an estimate, and the actual time remaining may vary from this value.
Please Follow These Important Guidelines to Maximize Battery Performance and Life:
•
Store battery in a cool, dry place. Store with a charge of 40-50%.
•
Once per month: fully charge the battery then discharge to 10% and charge back to full.
•
If using multiple batteries, make sure that each battery is labeled (1, 2, 3 or A, B, C, etc.) and
rotate on a regular basis. Batteries should not be left dormant for extended periods of time.
