  If your Oxytek Medical Technology Oxygen Equipment isn't operating, the power light is off, and the service required light is flashing with an audible alarm, it could be due to several reasons: * The power cord might not be properly inserted into the wall outlet. Ensure it's correctly plugged in, checking both the wall and the back of the unit for 230-volt models. * There might be no power at the wall outlet. Check your home circuit breaker and reset it if needed. Try a different wall outlet if the problem persists. * The oxygen concentrator circuit breaker might be activated (on selected units). Press the concentrator circuit breaker button located below the power switch. If it happens again, use a different wall outlet.
