Press (do not hold in) the circuit breaker reset
button in the front of the unit.

continues to sound after the unit is turned on,
contact your Equipment Provider.
Remove the humidifier bottle from the oxygen
outlet. If flow is restored, clean or replace with a
new humidifier bottle.
Remove and check accessories for kinks or
obstructions. Replace if needed.
Check cannula tubing connection at control
panel.
Make sure unit is positioned away from curtains
or drapes, hot air registers, heaters, and fireplac-

at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) away from a wall
or other obstruction. Do not place the unit in a
confined area.
Refill humidifier bottle with COLD water.
DO NOT OVERFILL. Allow oxygen tubing to dry
out, or replace with new tubing.

reserve oxygen supply and consult your Equip-
ment Provider immediately.
