3.Set your prescribed setting (1 to 5) by pressing the Activation Button until the correct setting is illuminated. Be sure that the CF (Continuous Flow/SmartDose) switch is pushed

in as shown, confirming that your Liquid Oxygen Portable is in the SmartDose mode.

4.Gaseous oxygen is now flowing from your SmartDose Portable, and with each breath you should receive your set dose of oxygen and the set Dose Indicator Light will illuminate with each breath.

In order for the SmartDose Portable to determine resting breath rate, the patient must rest 1-2 minutes before beginning activity.

5.Keep an eye on your SmartDose Liquid Oxygen Portable’s battery power.

•The Battery Indicator Light only monitors battery power and does not indicate whether there is liquid oxygen in the reservoir.

•When the battery indicator lights up red with each breath, it is time to replace the batteries.

•The battery indicator will remain lit red (not blinking with each breath) if the batteries are totally depleted.

	If the batteries are dead and you cannot replace them,
NOTE
	switch to Continuous Flow mode by pulling the CF switch out.
	The unit will deliver 2 liters per minute of flow and cannot be
	adjusted.
	Continuous Flow mode does not require batteries.
	There is no need to change your setting with the
	Activation Button.
	See the “Changing the Batteries” (pg 14) section in this
	manual for more information.

6.To stop continuous, push the CF switch in and hold the power button until the

power is off. The lights will illuminate and count down from 5-1 and then shut off.

	If the SmartDose Liquid Oxygen Portable is in Continuous
NOTE
	Flow mode, a small amount of oxygen will still be delivered.
	The portable must be powered off and the CF switch pushed
	in to completely turn off the flow of oxygen.
	If using rechargeable batteries, it is recommended to use
NOTE
	>1800 mAh Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries. Do NOT
	mix battery types.
