B- OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The following describes the procedure for setting up and operating the Crossvent-2i+ Ventilator. It is assumed that the
operator is thoroughly familiar with the Specifications, Theory of Operation, Tests and Calibration procedures as
outlined in this manual. It is also assumed that the ventilator is already fully assembled, has been tested and calibrated
and is connected to a test lung.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interferences in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures: reorient or relocate the receiving antenna, increase the separation between
the equipment and the receiver, connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected, or consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
