Battery Charging Instructions

The V.A.C. SIMPLICITY™ Therapy Unit contains a rechargeable battery. This battery is
charged using the power supply and cord that come with the unit.
The battery is not user accessible or serviceable.
To avoid damage to the therapy unit, use only the power supply and cord that come with
the unit.
Static Electricity
Static electricity may build up on the unit when it is out of its carrying case and plugged
into a wall outlet. This happens most often when the humidity is very low.
A static discharge may cause:
• The screen to darken
• The therapy unit to reset
• The therapy unit to turn off.
If this happens, turn the unit off then back on. If the unit will not come back on, call KCI.
WARNING: If the therapy unit shuts off for any reason, call your doctor or
nurse right away. Without power to the therapy unit, your dressing will need
to be replaced within two hours.
The power cord may be a trip hazard. Ensure that all cords are out of areas
where people may walk.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet to disconnect the unit from main
power. Do not block access to the plug or wall outlet.
