humidifier reservoir. Take care to wipe off any
moisture that may be on the electrical
contacts of the reservoir.

Place the reservoir in the humidifier garage, and
slide it firmly into position. Ensure humidifier
is fully seated in garage (reservoir should ‘click’
into place when fully seated).
9.
Ensure that the silicone adapter is connected to
the clear lid tightly at the humidifier hose
connector. The flat edge of the silicon
adapter should be aligned with the top side of
the humidifier.

Note:
The humidifier symbol without a number above it
indicates that the humidifier is connected, but the heat
setting is off.
Note:
Pressing the humidifier button when the humidifier is
not connected does not change the humidifier setting.
Note:
The humidifier can be used with the mobile power
adapter or the battery. If the battery is used to power
the CPAP and the humidifier, without AC line power
or mobile power sources, the humidifier heat setting
will be automatically reduced to prolong battery life.
Note:
During battery operation, the humidifier heat may turn-
off when approaching low battery condition to extend
overall therapy usage.
Note:
The humidifier contains an overheat sensor that will
shut off the heating element of the humidifier if there is
an over temperature condition (e.g. reservoir is empty).
Humidifier Preheat (Optional Step)
Preheating the water in the reservoir provides immediate
humidification of the air when the blower is turned on.
Warning
Do not wear the patient interface while using
preheat, since the blower is off. Exhaled air
could be re-breathed. Re-breathing exhaled air
for longer than several minutes can, in some
circumstances, lead to suffocation.
1.
Ensure that the CPAP has power and the blower is off.
