4.4.2 Using DC Power
You can operate the ventilator using an external battery or detachable battery pack.
Note: The availability of DC power options is not meant to suggest that this product can be used as a
transport ventilator.
External Battery
The ventilator can operate from a 12 VDC lead acid battery using the Philips Respironics External
Battery Cable. This cable is pre-wired and properly terminated to ensure safe connection of an
external battery to the ventilator. Battery operating time depends on the characteristics of the
battery and usage of the device.
Due to a variety of factors, including battery chemistry, age, and use prole, the capacity of the
external battery as shown on the device display is only an estimate of the actual remaining capacity.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the External Battery Cable for detailed information on how
to operate the device using an external battery.

battery to the device and recharge the battery using the Philips Respironics Detachable Battery
Module. Refer to the instructions included with your Detachable Battery Pack and Detachable
Battery Module for more information.
Note: The Detachable Battery pack will automatically recharge whenever it is connected to the therapy device and
