NOTE:
Whenever possible, go to your patient’s vehicle to demonstrate this
procedure.
To instruct your patient, follow these steps:
1. Place the Eclipse and secure in the vehicle. Explain that securing the device will prevent damage
to the unit during sudden stops. Ensure that the alerts and alarms are conspicuous.
2. Refer to the vehicle’s operation manual to determine the current rating on the vehicle’s DC
accessory outlet. This information may be found in the vehicle Users Manual, marked near the
outlet, or printed in the vehicle fuse box.
3. If the current rating is equal to or greater than 20 amps, move the red switch on the Power Supply
to the “15A” setting. If the current rating is equal to or less than 15 amps, move the red switch on
the Power Supply to the “10A” setting.

CAUTION:
Be sure to accurately determine the amount of current the vehicle
accessory outlet is rated to supply. Setting the Power Supply to draw
15 amps of current from a 10 amp power socket may damage your
patient’s vehicle electrical system.
4. Insert the DC Power Supply plug into the Eclipse.
5. Start the vehicle’s engine.
6. Insert the plug into the vehicle’s accessory outlet.
