Position the Device

Place the ventilator on a flat, level surface. Or, as an alternative, you can place the device in the optional in-use bag. The in-use bag is required for portable use in order to properly secure the ventilator.

Do not operate the ventilator while on its side, upside-down, or in any other orientation. Make sure that the air inlet on the back of the device is not blocked. If you block the air flow around the device, the ventilator may not work properly.

Install the Air Filter

The device uses a gray foam filter that is washable and reusable. The reusable filter screens out normal household dust and pollens. The filter must be in place at all times when the device is operating. Two reusable gray foam filters are supplied with the device. If the filter is not already installed when you receive the device, you must install the filter before using the ventilator.

To install the filter, insert the gray foam filter into the filter area as shown.

CAUTION

The reusable foam inlet filter is required to protect the ventilator from dirt and dust. Wash periodically and replace when damaged for proper operation.

Supply Power to the Device

The device can operate on AC or DC power. The ventilator accesses power from potential sources in the following order:

•• AC Power

•• External Battery

•• Detachable Battery Pack

•• Internal Battery

Installing the Filter

Note: See Chapter 7 for information on how to clean and replace the air filter.
