plug splitter. This may cause overheating of the
DC power cord.
• Do not disassemble the power supply. This may
lead to component failure and/or safety risk.
• Do not place anything in the device's power port
other than the supplied power supply. If an exten-
sion cord is used, use an extension cord that has
an Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Mark and a min-
imum wire thickness of 18 gauge. Do not connect
any other devices to the same extension cord.
• Do not repackage concentrator, accessories, or
systems for shipment in packaging not provided
by Inogen.
• Do not jump start the automobile with the DC
power cord connected. This may lead to voltage
spikes which could shut down and/or damage
the device.
• Do not leave the device in an environment which
can reach high temperatures, such as an unoc-
cupied car in high temperature environments.
• Do not touch the recessed electrical contacts of
the External Battery Charger; damage to con-
tacts may affect charger operation.
• The device will perform as specified only when
used within the altitude temperature and humidity
ranges as specified in these instructions for use
• The device should be kept dry at all times. Expo-
sure to water could lead to electrical shock and/
or damage.
• For optimal sieve bed (columns) life, the product
should be used frequently.
• The device's battery acts as a secondary power
supply in the event of a planned or unexpected
loss of the external power supply. Even when
operating the device from an external power
supply, a properly inserted battery should be
maintained in the unit. Doing so will minimize
the risk of interrupting operation and will keep
alarms functioning.
• The power supply should be placed in a well-ven-
tilated location as it relies on air circulation for
heat dissipation. The power supply may become
hot during operation; if this happens, allow to cool

down before handling to avoid injury.
• Ensure the automobile power socket is clean of
cigarette ash and the adapter plug fits properly,
otherwise overheating may occur.
• Ensure that the automobile power socket is ade-
quately fused for the device power requirement
(minimum 15Amp). If the power socket cannot
support a 15Amp load, the fuse may blow, or the
socket may be damaged.
• When powering the device in an automobile,
ensure the vehicle's engine is running first before
connecting DC power cord into cigarette lighter
adapter. Operating the device without the engine
running may drain the vehicle's battery.
• A change in altitude (for example, from sea level
to mountains) may affect total oxygen available
to the patient. Consult your physician before
traveling to higher or lower altitudes to deter-
mine if your flow setting should be changed.
• Always keep liquids away from batteries. If bat-
teries become wet, discontinue use immediately
and dispose of battery properly.
• 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. Store battery in a cool, dry place. Store
with a charge of 40-50%.
• Patients who exhibit breathing effort below the
specified inspiratory sensitivity value may not be
able to consistently trigger the device to receive
oxygen therapy.
