U S E R C O N T R O L S

The user controls on the LifeChoice POC are specifically designed to be pressed by a finger.

Never press any of the buttons with a pen, screwdriver, stylus or any other object. Pressing the

buttons with any hard, sharp and/or small object can damage the user controls and void all warranties.

Indicator Li hts: Colored lights indicate either

a change in operating status or a condition that

may need response (alarm).

Audible Si nals: An audible signal (beep) indicates

either a change in operating status or a condition

that may need response (alarm).

Gross Particle Filter: A filter mesh is in place

inside the intake vents on the front and back of

the concentrator during operation to keep large

particles and debris out of the intake air. See

Section Air Intake Filter Cleaning for cleaning

instructions.

Nasal Cannula: A standard single lumen nasal

cannula or equivalent must be used with the

during start-up will prevent the system from

powering on.

Breath Auto Mode LED: There are two inhalation

sensitivity modes on the control panel: Active-High

and Sleep-Low, which automatically adjust based on

oxygen requirements.

Pulse Settin Controls: There are three individual

pulse flow controls on the panel: 1, 2 and 3 which

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING THE LIFECHOICE POC FOR THE FIRST TIME

The LifeChoice POC and external battery

should be charged for a minimum of 6 hours

before initial use. Connect the external battery

to the LifeChoice POC, connect the AC

adapter to the external battery and plug the

AC adapter into an electrical outlet.

Make sure to verify the green LED light above

the Battery Check is solid green. This indicates

the system recognizes the external power source.

If the external battery is plugged into the Life-

Choice POC and the green LED light above the

Battery Check does not turn solid, the source is

not recognized. If charging the unit through the

external battery when this occurs, the charge will

not reach the internal battery. This may be an

indication the external battery needs to be reset.

Instructions for resetting the battery are provided in the Powerin the LifeChoice POC section.

When more than two hours battery operation is needed, the LifeChoice POC should be

powered using the external battery first and then the internal battery. The LifeChoice POC

will automatically switch to the internal battery once the external battery has been depleted.

The LifeChoice POC is recommended and

designed to be operated and stored in its carry

case at all times.

Verify that the intake vents are clean and free

from obstruction.

Connect the nasal cannula securely to the

LifeChoice POC cannula nozzle fitting.

POWERING THE LIFECHOICE

The LifeChoice POC can be powered in four different ways – the internal battery, an AC power supply,

DC power supply or the external battery. The rechargeable batteries are maintenance-free and can

only be exchanged at the factory.

1. Internal Battery: A rechargeable internal

battery is located within each LifeChoice

POC unit. When it is fully charged, it supplies

power to the Life Choice POC for up to 2+

hours. When using internal battery power,

the green LED light above the Battery Check

will illuminate and flash slowly.

When the AC, DC or external battery is plugged into the LifeChoice POC, whether powered

on or off, the green LED light above the Battery Check will illuminate solid green. This is

verification that the external source has been recognized. When using an external source to

power the LifeChoice POC, verify that the green LED light above the Battery Check is solid

green indicating the system is being powered by the external source. If not connected to an

AC or DC adapter, the internal battery will slowly discharge over time even when not in use.

Always check the battery level prior to use to ensure adequate charge level.

2. AC Power Supply: An AC power supply

allows the LifeChoice POC to be connected

to a 100-240 volt, 50/60 Hz outlet. The

power supply converts 100-240 volt AC to a

DC voltage for the LifeChoice POC unit.

When the unit is operated with the AC power

supply, power from the AC outlet powers the

unit and recharges the internal and/or the

external battery simultaneously.

When using an external source to power

the LifeChoice POC, verify that the green LED light above the Battery Check is solid green

indicating the system is being powered by the external source.

3. DC Power Supply: A DC power supply can

be connected from the LifeChoice POC unit

to an automobile’s (boat, motor home, etc.) 12-volt

DC outlet. When the system is connected

to the automobile’s/vehicle’s DC outlet,

power from the automobile/vehicle

battery powers the LifeChoice POC unit

and recharges the internal and/or external

battery simultaneously.

When using an external source to power the

LifeChoice POC, verify that the green LED

light above the Battery Check is solid

LifeChoice Portable Oxygen Concentrator

OM 2011_V33_CE_RevF_Layout 1 11/29/11 2:36 PM Page 7

green indicating the system is being

DC and external battery are each connected

to the receptacle on the top of the

LifeChoice POC. (External battery shown as

example.) If the external battery is connected

to the LifeChoice POC, the AC or DC

adapter can be connected to the external battery and will charge both batteries and operate the

LifeChoice POC simultaneously.

4. External Battery: A rechargeable external

battery is included with every LifeChoice

POC XYC100 unit. When fully charged, it

supplies power to the Life Choice POC for

up to 3+ hours.

When using external battery power, the green

LED light above the Battery Check will

illuminate solid green. When using the external

battery to power the LifeChoice POC, the

system will automatically switch to internal

battery power when the external battery has

been depleted - approximately 3 hours. When

this occurs, the green LED light above the

Battery Check will turn from solid green to

flashing green. When the external battery is

required for extended time away from an AC

or DC power source, it is recommended to

power the LifeChoice POC with the external

battery first and then the internal battery for

maximum combined battery time.

Charge time for a depleted external battery is

a minimum of 6 hours with either the AC or

DC adapter. To check charge level on the

external battery, disconnect from AC or DC

adapters, press and hold yellow button on the

top of the external battery. LED lights will

illuminate indicating charge level.

When the LifeChoice POC is in use and the

external battery is plugged into the unit,

verify that the green LED light above the

Battery Check turns solid green. If the LED

light does not illuminate solid green when the external battery is connected to the LifeChoice

POC, this indicates that the LifeChoice POC is not being powered by the external battery, and

the external battery may have “tripped” due to a power surge.

To prolong the level of charge when not in use, it is hi hly recommended that the external

battery be plugged into itself. This is done by inserting the male end of the plug into the female

receptacle on the battery pack.

Reset the external battery as indicated in the following steps.
