CAIRE Eclipse with autoSat Manuel D'utilisation page 12

Rechargeable Power Cartridge (Battery)
The Eclipse can be powered by the rechargeable Power Cartridge
(Battery), which is supplied with the device.
Installing the Battery: Align the Battery so that it will slide into
the empty Power Compartment. Push the Battery into the empty
Power Compartment until it locks (clicks) into position and is
flush with the back of the device. When the Battery is properly
installed and the Eclipse is ON, the Battery Status Gauge will
appear on the Control Panel. (If you DO NOT have a Battery
installed, the Power Cartridge Status Gauge will not illuminate).
The unit will still operate on external power.
To remove the Battery, pull down on the black release lever.
While holding DOWN the release lever, pull the Battery away
from the Eclipse.
Battery Operating Times: The duration-of-use of the Battery is
displayed at the top of the Control Panel. A variety of factors,
such as flow setting, Pulse or Continuous Flow Mode, and breath
rate will impact the operating time. The table Typical New Power
Cartridge Operating Times provides operating time estimates
for the Eclipse using a new, fully charged Battery based on flow
settings and operating conditions as indicated.

Initial Battery Charging
The new Battery supplied with your Eclipse is not fully charged
when it is shipped from the factory. Before using your Eclipse for
the first time, you must first fully charge the Battery.
With the AC Power Supply plugged in, and the Battery correctly
installed in the Power Compartment of the device, allow the
Battery to completely charge. The Battery is fully charged when
the Power Cartridge Status Gauge, on the Control Panel, is no
longer cascading.
The Eclipse can be used while either discharging or recharging
the Battery. It may take between 2 and 5 hours, dependent upon
the flow setting, to achieve 80% capacity from a fully discharged
Battery. It will charge when the Eclipse is plugged into AC power
and turned off.
CAUTION: When the automobile in which you are using
the Oxygen Concentrator unit is turned off, disconnect
and remove the device from the automobile. Do not store
the Oxygen Concentrator in a very hot or cold automobile or in
other similar, high-or low-temperature environments. DO NOT leave
the Oxygen Concentrator or the Power Supply plugged into the
vehicle if the ignition is in the OFF position. Doing so may drain the
vehicle's battery.
CAUTION: Only use the Manufacturer's provided batteries. For prop-
er 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 Eclipse will
beep and automatically switch to Battery operation, as long as
the Battery is present and charged. When AC power is restored,
the Eclipse will beep and the Battery will automatically start
recharging, if not fully charged or too warm. If the Battery is not
present, or fully discharged, during an AC power interruption, the
Eclipse will shut down and alarm. The Battery is fully discharged
when the Power Cartridge Status Gauge on the control panel is
no longer illuminated. The device will display a yellow light and
sound a low Battery alert beep until the device completely shuts
down with a red light and constant alarm. This audible alert may
continue for up to 5 minutes until the device shuts down.
Note: Press and hold the Eclipse ON/OFF button for a minimum of 5
seconds, to silence the Loss of Power alarm. Connecting the Eclipse to an
external AC power supply for 2 minutes will also eliminate this alarm.
