Data management
There are two data ports at the rear of the device for connecting a USB stick (see “Stellar
at a glance” on page 2). Therapy and device data can be stored on it or read from it to be
used with ResMed software applications.
WARNING
Do not connect any device to the data ports other than specially designed devices
recommended by ResMed. Connection of other devices could result in injury, or
damage to the Stellar (see “General warnings and cautions” on page 35).
CAUTION
Do not disconnect the ResMed USB stick while data transfer is in progress. Otherwise
loss of data or incorrect data may result. The download time depends on the data
volume.
Notes:
•
You cannot connect two ResMed USB sticks simultaneously for data communication.
•
If data transfer is not possible or failed please read the troubleshooting section.
•
Do not store files on the USB stick other than those created by the device or
application. Unknown files may be lost during data transfer.

Plug the ResMed USB stick to one of the two USB connections on the rear side of the
device.
The first dialogue for the USB data transfer is displayed automatically on the LCD. The device
checks if there is enough memory capacity on the USB stick and if readable data is available.

The mask system and air tubing are subject to normal wear and tear. Inspect
them regularly for damage.
