Dc Power; Carrying Case And Airline Travel - Philips DreamStation 2 User Manual

DC power

A Philips Respironics DC power cord can be used to operate this device in a stationary
recreational vehicle, boat, or motor home. In addition, a Philips Respironics DC battery
adapter cable, when used with a DC power cord, allows the device to be operated from a 12
VDC free-standing battery.
Warning: Periodically inspect electrical cords and cables for damage or signs of
wear. Discontinue use and replace if damaged.
Cautions
• Always ensure that the DC power cord securely fits into your therapy device prior to use.
Contact your home care provider or Philips Respironics to determine if you have the
appropriate DC cord for your specific therapy device.
• When DC power is obtained from a vehicle battery, the device should not be used while
the vehicle's engine is running. Damage to the device may occur.
• Only use a Philips Respironics DC Power Cord and Battery Adapter Cable. Use of any
other system may cause damage to the device.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the DC power cord and adapter cable for information
on how to operate the device using DC power.

Carrying case and airline travel

When traveling, the carrying case is for carry-on luggage only. The carrying case will not
protect the system if it is put through checked baggage. Do not travel with water in the
water tank.
The device is suitable for use on airlines when the device is operating from an AC or DC
power source.
For your convenience at security stations, there is a symbol on the bottom of the device
indicating that it is medical equipment and is suitable for airline use. It may be helpful to
bring this manual along with you to help security personnel understand the device.
If you are traveling to a country with a line voltage different than the one you are currently
using, a different power cord or an international plug adaptor may be required to make your
power cord compatible with the power outlets of the country to which you are traveling.
Contact your home care provider for additional information.
