CAUTION: The Oxygen Concentrator may be
used during sleep under the recommendation
of a licensed clinician. CAUTION: Do not operate
this unit in a restricted or confined space where
ventilation can be limited. This can cause the
device to overheat and affect performance.
CAUTION: Do not allow either the air intake or
the air outlet vents to be blocked. DO NOT drop
or insert any object into any openings on the

temperature range can impair the performance
of the unit. Refer to the specification section
of this manual for storage and operating
temperature limits.
CAUTION: Position the unit away from curtains
or drapes, hot air registers or heaters. Be
