and Storage | 40˚ C (41˚ F and 104˚ F). |
Temperatures | Do not operate the device in direct sunlight or near a heating |
| appliance because these conditions can increase the temperature of |
| the airflow delivered to the patient. |
| Prolonged operation or storage at elevated temperatures may reduce |
| the service life of the battery and other internal components of the |
| ventilator. |
| The ventilator has an internal and detachable |
| not expose the device or detachable battery to temperatures above |
| 40˚ C (104˚ F) during use, or above 60˚ C (140˚ F) during storage. This |

Cooling Air Vents | Do not block the cooling air vents located on the base and the rear |
| of the device. This may cause the device to overheat in high ambient |
| temperatures or at high therapy settings. |
Battery Life | The internal and detachable batteries wear out based on the amount |
| of use (hours or full |
| life are also reduced by operation at higher temperatures. |
Detachable Battery | Only use the Philips Respironics Trilogy Detachable Battery with the |
| ventilator. |
Cleaning | Do not steam autoclave the ventilator. Doing so will destroy the |
