				SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES   
					Other devices may experience interference from even the low   
					levels of electromagnetic emissions permitted by the above   
					standards. To determine if the emissions from the Perfecto2 is   
					causing the interference, turn the Perfecto2 Off. If the   
					interference with the other device(s) stops, then the Perfecto2   
					is causing the interference. In such rare cases, interference   
					may be reduced or corrected by one of the following   
					measures:   
					• Reposition, relocate, or increase the separation   
					between the equipment.   
					• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit   
					different from that to which the other device(s) is   
					connected.

					SECTION 5—OPERATING   
					INSTRUCTIONS   
					Introduction   
					Your oxygen concentrator is intended for individual use   
					indoors. It is an electronically operated device that separates   
					oxygen from room air. It provides high concentration of oxygen   
					directly to you through a nasal cannula. Clinical studies have   
					documented that oxygen concentrators are therapeutically   
					equivalent to other types of oxygen delivery systems.   
					Your provider will show you how to use your oxygen   
					concentrator. He/She should be contacted with any questions   
					or problems regarding your oxygen concentrator. This   
					owner’s manual will tell you about your concentrator and will   
					serve as a reference as you use your concentrator.   
					Select a Location   
					ꢀ WARNING   
					NEVER block the air openings of the product or place it on a   
					soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air opening may   
					be blocked. Keep the openings free from lint, hair and the like.   
					Keep unit at least 3 inches away from walls, draperies,   
					furniture, and the like.   
					You may select a room where using your oxygen concentrator   
					would be most convenient. Your concentrator can be easily   
					rolled from room to room on its casters.   
					Your oxygen concentrator will perform best when operated   
					under the following conditions. Refer to Typical Product   
					Parameters on page 12. Usage in environments other than   
					those described may result in the need for increased   
					equipment maintenance. The air intake of the unit should be   
					located in a well ventilated area to avoid smoke, airborne   
					pollutants and/or fumes. DO NOT place in a closet.

					physician or therapist.   
					CAUTION   
					Never set the flow greater than 5 L/min.   
					ꢀ WARNING   
					DO NOT change the L/min setting on the flowmeter unless a   
					change has been prescribed by your physician or therapist.   
					NOTE: To properly read the flowmeter, locate the prescribed flowrate   
					line on the flowmeter. Next, turn the flow knob until the ball rises to   
					the line. Now, center the ball on the L/min line prescribed.   
					2. If the flowrate on the flowmeter ever falls below 0.5 L/min   
					for more than about one minute, the LOW FLOW alarm   
					will be triggered. This is a rapid beeping of the audible   
					alarm. Check your tubing or accessories for blocked or   
					kinked tubing or a defective humidifier bottle. After rated   
					flow is restored, between 0.5 L/min and 0.75 L/min, the   
					LOW FLOW audible alarm will turn off.   
					NOTE: The use of some accessories such as the pediatric flowstand   
					and the HomeFill compressor will deactivate the Low Flow Alarm.
