12V DC operation

• Plug the small connector of the DC power cord into the DC power input on the side of the unit
• Plug the large connector into the 12V DC power receptacle of the automobile

Battery Operation

• Verify that your unit has an internal rechargeable battery; factory installed on models 7305P series or provider installed on models 7305D series (installed as an option). To ensure proper operation from internal battery, fully charge the battery for 17 hours as explained in the Battery Charging section. To operate the unit from an internal rechargeable battery, ensure that no external power sources are plugged into the DC power input on the side of the unit.
• Turn the unit “On” using the power switch located on the side of the unit. The power indicator light displayed on the top of the unit will indicate which power source is being used by staying continuously lit when external power is connected.
• Adjust the vacuum level from 80 to 550 mm Hg by turning the vacuum regulator knob located on the side of the unit (clockwise to increase vacuum and counter-clockwise to decrease vacuum). The gauge located on the top of the unit near the handle will allow you to select a specific level of vacuum. To accurately read the gauge, block the patient end of the hose or cap off the collection bottle and allow the gauge to reach a stable vacuum reading.
• Suction at the patient is automatically obstructed when liquid level reaches the float shut-off located on the underside of the container lid.
