DreamStation Auto Charging Instructions

1. Using the AC power supply for the DreamStation Auto, connect the adapter that would normally go into the DreamStation into the port that says "charge".
2. Plug the cord into the nearest outlet.
3. Charging should take 2 - 3 hours.
4. Charge level is indicated by the LED lights on the front of the battery. When all four lights are illuminated, this indicates a full charge.
5. Avoid over-charging, as this will help the battery last longer. When full, disconnect from the outlet.

Charging Using the Z1 or Z2 Power Supply

First Time Charging Tips: Charge all the way to 100%. Partial charging can impact the battery's total run time and reduce it's lifespan.

Tips for Improving Run Times

The battery is engineered to provide one full night of use. This calculation was based on the battery having a full charge, and not having been used to power cellphones, tablets or other devices before use. It was also based on presuming the user would be at a pressure setting of 10, and would not be using a humidifier or heated hose.

Higher pressure settings and using humidification can greatly reduce runtimes. You will also get lower runtimes if you're currently at higher elevations, as the air is thinner and the machine has to work harder to keep you at the right pressure.

Lower pressure settings and not using humidification will produce the longest run times. As a number of different factors come into play with battery run times we cannot guarantee any specific run time for this device.

WARNINGS:

• Lithium-Ion battery cells are made with highly toxic and corrosive chemicals and can cause injury or death if exposed. Do not attempt to open the casing on your own or attempt any kind of repair or modification as you can put yourself in danger. Do not drop or otherwise abuse the battery, as this can risk exposure to the chemicals inside.
• Do not get the battery wet or attempt to wipe or clean with any spray or solvent. Any kind of moisture can result in damage or loss.
• Extreme heat or fire can interfere with the chemicals inside the battery and cause it to explode.
