• 12V DC Operation – (such as a car lighter receptacle). 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.

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.
