Why does the alarm sound when I install a battery or turn on the AC power?

Why does the concentrator not turn on when I have it connected to AC power?

Oxygen To Go | The Inogen One
If the Inogen logo does not show on the display when the unit is plugged in, then the unit is probably not receiving power. This is usually caused by a loose connection between the AC power cord and the power supply. Make sure all power connections are tight and that the AC power outlet is operational (not turned off by a wall switch, etc.). If the concentrator still does not respond, the AC power supply may be faulty.
