SLIK 300, 600 manual Monitoring Battery Power, Checking the Level of Liquid Oxygen

Red light

Monitoring Battery Power

The VIAspire Oxygen Portables 300 and 600 are each powered by four

AA alkaline batteries. A blinking

red light on the LED means it is time to replace the batteries. If this happens, replace the batteries or

switch to continuous flow by chang-

ing the CF/SD (Continuous Flow/ SmartDose Delivery) switch to the

CF setting. Continuous Flow mode does not require batter- ies and the VIAspire Portable will now deliver a continuous flow of oxygen.

If the indicator displays a non-blinking (solid) red light, this means the batteries are dead and no oxygen is being delivered in SmartDose mode.

WARNING Using the VIAspire Portable 300 or 600 in continu- ous flow (CF) mode will use up oxygen at a faster rate. Monitor the contents indicator as described under “Checking the Level of Liquid Oxygen” to be sure that you do not run out of oxygen.

NOTE When using the VIAspire Portable in continuous flow (CF) mode, the LED indicator will NOT light up green or red with each breath. Turning the flow selector knob to zero will not affect the flow. Turn the CF/SD switch to “SD” mode to stop flow.

Checking the Level of Liquid Oxygen

The VIAspire Portable has a built-in tool to check the amount of liquid oxygen. Follow these steps for using the Content Indicator.

1Hold the short strap directly above the black Content Indi- cator spring scale chamber on the portable as shown below.

2Let the portable stabilize (do not

bounce or shake it), then read the	Content
exposed color scale for the approxi-
	indicator
mate amount of liquid oxygen.

If the portable is empty, only the red colored band of the scale will be exposed. In this case, you need to fill the portable before you can use it.
