2. USING YOUR M50 OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR
WARNING: Do not use extension cords or electrical adapters.
1. Choose a location for your concentrator that allows it to draw in air freely. Make sure the device is at
least 30 cm away from walls, furniture, curtains, or any other item that may restrict airfl ow to the device.
Do not place the device near any heat source.
2. After reading and understanding the contents of this manual, plug the power cord into a grounded wall
outlet.
3. Do either Step A or Step B below.
A. If you are not using a humidifi er, connect your nasal cannula to the oxygen outlet.
B. If you are using a humidifi er, follow the steps below:
i. Remove the humidifi er cap by turning it counter clockwise.
ii. Fill the humidifi er bottle with distilled or cooled, pre-boiled water between the min and max mark-
