Protect the Eclipse and the AC and DC Power Supplies from all fluid spills or fluid drips to avoid possible shock hazards.
Always check that the Air Inlet and the Exhaust Vent of the device are not blocked and that the Air Inlet Filter is clean before using your device.
POWERING ON YOUR ECLIPSE The Eclipse is a lightweight portable and stationary source of supplemental oxygen. The device is capable of being operated directly from three different power sources: (1) AC Power Supply, (2) DC Power Supply and (3) Rechargeable Power Cartridge (Battery).
(1) AC Power Supply
(2) DC Power Supply
(3) Rechargeable Power Cartridge (Battery)
The Eclipse charges the optional Power Cartridge when external power (AC or DC) is present and when the Power Cartridge temperature is below a safe charging temperature. When external power is disconnected, the device will automatically switch over to the Power Cartridge, if installed and charged. When external power is restored, by plugging into an AC or DC outlet, the device will accept power from the external power source and replenish the Power Cartridge while operating the device if adequate AC or DC power is available. Proper connection of the AC or DC Power Supply requires aligning the power plug with the recessed external power receptacle of the device. The recessed external power receptacle is located on the right side of the device when facing the user control panel. Push the power plug into the recessed receptacle.
