OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING THE LIFECHOICE ACTIVOX POC

FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. The LifeChoice Activox POC should be charged for a minimum of

four hours before initial use. Begin charging by connecting the AC

Adapter/Charger to the LifeChoice Activox POC and plugging it

into an electrical outlet.

2. Make sure to verify that the Battery Check LED labeled INT is solid

green. This indicates that the system recognizes the external power

source and is charging the internal battery.

If an external battery was purchased with the LifeChoice Activox

POC, connect it to the External Battery Port. It should take

approximately three hours to fully charge the external battery (with

internal battery already fully charged), and seven hours to charge

both the internal and external batteries together. (See Battery

Charging section for more details.)

Unless an optional external battery charger has been purchased

separately, the external battery can only be charged when

connected directly to the LifeChoice Activox POC. (Contact your

POC provider or customer support for information on purchasing

the optional charger.) Never use an external battery that is not

authorized by Inova Labs Inc.

3. The LifeChoice Activox POC is recommended and designed to be

operated and stored in its carrying case at all times.

4. Connect the nasal cannula securely to the LifeChoice Activox POC

cannula nozzle fitting.

POWERING THE LIFECHOICE ACTIVOX POC

The LifeChoice Activox POC can be powered in four different ways:

(1) internal battery, (2) AC Adapter/Charger, (3) DC Adapter/Charger,

or (4) external battery (optional, sold separately from the Standard

Package). The rechargeable batteries are maintenance-free and can

only be purchased at the factory or through an authorized repair facility.

The following specifics apply to each of the four modes (listed above)

of powering the LifeChoice Activox POC:

1. Internal Battery: A rechargeable

internal battery is located within

each LifeChoice Activox POC unit.

When fully charged, it supplies

power to the LifeChoice Activox

POC for 12 hours. (Reference

Battery Life table since actual time

will vary depending upon breath

rate and Pulse Setting.)
