Proper Placement of the eQuinox
Pick a location for the device that avoids the intake of smoke,
fumes and pollutants. Correct positioning of the device should
allow intake of air through the air inlet filter at the top rear of
the cabinet. It should also allow exhaust air to freely leave the
exhaust vent at the bottom right of the device.
Place the device so that the alarms can be heard.
Position the oxygen supply tubing in such a way that it does not
kink or occlude.

automobile. Do not store the Oxygen Concentrator in a very hot or cold
automobile or in other similar, high-or low-temperature environments.
DO NOT leave the Oxygen Concentrator or the Power Supply plugged
into the vehicle if the ignition is in the off position. Doing so may drain
the vehicle's battery.
CAUTION: Do not operate unit in a restricted or confined
space (i.e., a small case or handbag) where ventilation
can be limited. This can cause the Oxygen Concentrator
to overheat and impair performance. Do not allow either the air
intake or the air outlet vents to become blocked. This can cause the
Oxygen Concentrator to overheat and impair performance.
