. Device warm-up breathing occurs only when you first turn on the device

. You may begin breathing from the SimplyGo at any time

. If the device does not sense a breath after two minutes, a No Breath alarm will sound

. 

## Operating Modes This section describes additional operating screens on the SimplyGo device

. 1. P ulse Mode Screen When the device is in the Pulse operating mode, it detects when the user begins to take a breath and then delivers a pulsed volume of oxygen determined by the setting number, during inhalation

. If no breath is de

tected for a period of time, the system automatically delivers the pulsed volume of oxygen determined by the setting number at a fixed rate of 12 breaths per minute

. If no breath is detected for 2 minutes, the device signals an alarm and shuts down after 30 minutes

.15 SimplyGo User Manual
2. C ontinuous Flow Mode Screen In Continuous Flow operating mode, a constant flow of oxygen is sup

# Battery Storage
Lithium ion batteries can be stored from -4° F (-20° C) to 140° F (+60° C) at up to 80% relative humidity

. However, they are best stored below 70° F (21° C) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated facility free from corrosive gas or vapor
. Storage at temperatures above 113° F (45° C), such as in a hot car, may degrade battery performance and reduce battery life

. Storage at low temperatures may affect initial battery performance.27 SimplyGo User Manual

# SimplyGo Portable Oxygen Concentrator Mobility Your SimplyGo system has been designed to provide you with a source of oxygen that can be carried with you

. To enable you to do so, your SimplyGo device has a carrying case bag, accessory bag, and a mobile cart for use with it

. 

## SimplyGo Carrying Case The SimplyGo carrying case allows you to take your supply of oxygen with you as you go about your normal, daily activities

. It provides protection for your SimplyGo as well as a carrying strap to transport the device

. To place the SimplyGo into its carrying bag:

1

. P osition the bag and the SimplyGo so that the front of the device corresponds with the surface of the bag that has a zippered accessory pouch

. This will ensure that the inlet air vent on the rear of the device, the outlet air vent on the front, bottom of the device and the power input con

nect on the side of the device line up with their openings provided in the bag

. If the SimplyGo is not placed in the bag properly the air vents will be blocked, and the device will overheat during operation and shut off

.

2

. I nsert the device into the top of the bag and pull the snuggly fitting bag up around the device

. Check to ensure that the air vents and power input connector align with their open

ings in the case

.

3

. W rap the handle cover around the carrying handle of the SimplyGo and secure it in place by pressing the two Velcro together

.31 SimplyGo User Manual 

## SimplyGo Accessory Bag The accessory bag is a separate, zippered bag that provides extra space for storing and carrying items such as additional batteries, power supplies, connecting cables, nasal cannulas and personal items you need that cannot be accommodated by the storage pocket in the SimplyGo carrying case

.

This bag can be attached to the mobile cart along with your SimplyGo device as described below

. 

## SimplyGo Mobile Cart The SimplyGo mobile cart provides you an alternative method to carrying the SimplyGo in its carrying case

. The cart will accomodate both the SimplyGo in its carrying case and the accessory bag

. Both can be placed on the mobile cart as shown in the instructions included with the mobile cart

. 

# Traveling With Your System With your SimplyGo system and proper advance planning, you can enjoy traveling within your community and beyond
