LP6 Plus and LP10 User’s Manual
When plugged into a functioning wall outlet with the AC power switch
ON, the ventilator automatically selects the AC power source. It will operate
indefinitely on AC. All three sources may be connected to the ventilator
at the same time. If the AC power fails, the ventilator automatically
switches to the next best power source.
When used at home or in the hospital, plug the ventilator into a convenient
wall socket. If you use the ventilator in a wheelchair or in a car, connect
it to an external 12 Volt DC battery. Your ventilator has an internal
battery. Use the internal battery for short-term emergencies only, for
example, when moving from one power source to another. Make sure you
recharge the internal battery immediately after each use.
Warning The batteries contain toxic chemicals and no attempt to remove
or replace the batteries should be made by any one other than the
home care dealer or an authorized service center.
AC Power Plug the ventilator into the appropriate AC grounded wall outlet.
Warning The ventilator must be set to the proper AC line voltage before
plugging it into the AC outlet.
The ventilator automatically operates from AC power when you plug it in.
Make sure that you plug the cord into a properly grounded outlet.
Warning The ventilator must be protectively earthed when operating from
an AC power source. If you have any doubts about the outlet’s
ground connection, have a qualified electrician examine the outlet.
