Rechargeable Battery Pack (Battery)
The eQuinox can be run by the rechargeable
Battery Pack (Battery), which is supplied with
the device.
Installing the Battery: Line up the Battery so it
will slide into the empty Power Compartment.
Push the Battery into the empty Power
Compartment until it locks (clicks) into
position. It will be flush with the front of the
device. When the Battery is properly installed
and the eQuinox is ON, the Battery Status
Gauge will show on the Control Panel. (If you
DO NOT have a Battery installed, the Battery
Pack Status Gauge will not light up.) The unit
will still run on external power.
To remove the Battery, push the release
button on the top of the battery pack. While holding DOWN the
release button, pull the Battery away from the eQuinox.
Battery Operating Times: The battery operating time is shown
on the Control Panel, in both symbol and alpha-numeric formats.
When running on battery power, the battery status gauge will be
shown at all times. The display screen will cycle to display the
hours/minutes of battery life left. A number of factors, such as
flow setting, Pulse or Continuous Flow Mode, and breath rate
will affect the operating time. The table Typical New Battery
Pack Operating Times provides operating time estimates for
the eQuinox using a new, fully charged Battery based on flow
settings and indicated operating conditions.
Note: The eQuinox comes with a 12-cell battery when shipped from the
factory. The 24-cell battery is an optional accessory for longer battery
durations.

Note: Operating the Oxygen Concentrator outside of its normal operating
temperature range can affect performance and decrease battery run time
and/or increase battery charge time. (Refer to the Specifications section in
this manual.) You will achieve longer operating time on the Battery if you
operate your eQuinox in the Pulse Mode (Physician approved mode).

Initial Battery Charging
The new Battery that comes with your eQuinox is not fully
charged when it is shipped from the factory. Before using your
eQuinox for the first time, you must first fully charge the Battery.
Plug in the AC Power Supply and correctly install the Battery.
Allow the Battery to completely charge. The Battery is fully
charged when the Battery Pack Status Gauge on the Control
Panel no longer cascades and remains solid.
The eQuinox can be used while the Battery recharges. It may
take up to 4 hours to charge, depending on the flow setting. The
Battery will also charge when the eQuinox is plugged into AC
power and turned off.
CAUTION: Only use the Manufacturer's provided batter-
ies. For proper battery disposal, contact your equipment
Provider or your local government agency for disposal
requirements.
* Batteries are recyclable. *
In the event of an AC or DC power interruption, the eQuinox will
beep and automatically switch to Battery operation, as long as a
charged Battery is installed. When external power is returned, the
Battery will automatically start charging again. If the Battery is
missing or is fully discharged when the AC power is interrupted,
the eQuinox will shut down and alarm. The Battery is fully
discharged when the Battery Pack Status Gauge on the control
panel appears empty. The device will display a yellow light and
sound a low battery alarm. This will continue until the device
completely shuts down with a red light and constant alarm. The
audible alert may continue for up to 5 minutes until the device
shuts down or external power is restored.
Note: Press and hold the eQuinox ON/OFF button for a minimum of 5
seconds, to silence the Loss of Power alarm. Connecting the eQuinox to
an external AC power supply for 2 minutes will also eliminate this alarm.
