4. Put on your mask assembly when the air starts to flow.
5. Make sure that no air is leaking from your mask into your eyes. If it is, adjust the mask and
headgear until the air leak stops. See the instructions provided with your mask for more
information.
Note:
A small amount of mask leak is normal and acceptable. Correct large mask
leaks or eye irritation from an air leak as soon as possible.
6. If you are using the device while sleeping, try placing the tubing from the device over your
headboard. This may reduce tension on the mask.
Note: If you are having trouble with your mask, refer to the instructions supplied with
the mask.

The optional Ramp feature can be enabled or disabled by your home care provider.
This feature reduces the air pressure when you are trying to fall asleep. Then it gradually increases
(ramps) the pressure until your prescription setting is reached, allowing you to fall asleep more
comfortably.
If ramp is enabled on your device, after you turn on the airflow, press the Ramp button on
the top of the device. You can use the Ramp button as often as you wish during the night.
Note:
If the ramp feature is disabled, nothing will happen when you press the Ramp
button.
