QUALITY OF THE THERAPY.
Note: If the Oxygen Concentrator has been stored
for an extended period of time outside its normal
operating temperature range, the unit should be
allowed to return to normal operating temperature
before being turned on. (Refer to the Specifications
section in this manual.)
Proper Placement of the Companion 5
Select a location for the device that avoids the
intake of smoke, fumes and pollutants. Correct
placement of the device should allow intake of
air through the three air intake locations at the top
rear and underneath the cabinet, and also allow for
exhaust air to freely leave the exhaust vent at the
bottom left of the device.
Air intakes are located on the upper back and
bottom of the concentrator. Locate the unit so that
there is at least 12 inches (30 cm) of space between
the concentrator and any walls, furniture, curtains,
or other obstructions.
Place the device such that the alarms can be heard.
Position the oxygen supply tubing in such a way
that it does not kink or occlude.
WARNING: DO NOT USE YOUR
OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR IN THE
PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE GASES.
THIS CAN RESULT IN RAPID BURNING
CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY
INJURIES OR DEATH. USE NO OIL,
GREASE, OR PETROLEUM-BASED OR
OTHER FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS WITH
THE OXYGEN-CARRYING ACCESSO-
RIES OR THE OXYGEN CONCENTRA-
TOR. ONLY WATER BASED, OXYGEN
COMPATIBLE LOTIONS OR SALVES
SHOULD BE USED. OXYGEN ACCELER-
ATES THE COMBUSTION OF FLAMMA-

FLAMES WITHIN THE SAME ROOM OF (1) THIS
DEVICE, OR (2) ANY OXYGEN-CARRYING ACCES-
SORY. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS WARNING CAN
RESULT IN SEVERE FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE,
