ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

NICE1 is intended for indoor use only. Do not operate NICE1 in or near
a wet environment.
NICE1 is not to be used in a confined space. Adequate airflow is necessary
for the proper functioning of the device. It is recommended that the
device have at least 12 inches of clearance in the front and back for
adequate airflow. Inadequate airflow can result in overheating of internal electrical
components and undesirable or excessive noise.
Although the NICE1 unit can be used between +5°C to 40°C ambient and RH
90% non-condensing, for optimal performance use the system between +15.5°C
to 27.7°C (60°F to 80°F) at 15% to 90% relative humidity.
Failure to meet these operating environment conditions may result in:
• Condensate buildup inside the unit.
• Overheating or freezing of the unit.
• Internal electronics malfunction.
• A reduction in the heating or cooling capabilities of the unit.
• The inability of the unit to properly regulate and administer
fluid temperature during heat or cold therapies.
• The inability of the unit to properly regulate and administer
pneumatic compression as specified in the indications for use.
Which may void the warranty.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR NICE1 FOR THERAPY

• Remove the NICE1 Cooling Unit, external power supply, power cord,
and hose from the box or carry case. The wrap is separate and may
not be packaged with the unit. Verify that all the necessary
equipment is present and not damaged.
• Find a stable location for the Cooling Unit and ensure that nothing is
blocking the airflow in the front and back of the device.
• Open the water reservoir and fill with water. Replace reservoir cap
after filled.
• Connect the power cord to the external power supply.
• Plug the circular connector into the back of the Cooling Unit.
You will hear a click when properly connected.
