You are experiencing
excessive air leaks
where the tubing con-
nects to the device.
The air outlet port
is not installed cor-
rectly and doesn’t seal
properly.
Remove the port and reattach it to make sure
it’s properly installed.
To remove the port:
a. Put your thumb underneath the port
and insert your index finger into the
port opening.
b. Pivoting from the bottom, unsnap the
port and pull it away from the device.
To properly reattach the port:
a. Make sure it is correctly oriented (with
the port opening at the top), and insert
the two latches at the bottom of the
port into the openings on the bottom of
the device.
b. Push the top of the port down to snap it
into place.
Reattach your tubing, turn on the airflow, and
check to make sure you do not still feel air
coming out of the port area.
The air out of the mask
is much warmer than
usual.
The air filters may be
dirty.
The device may be
operating in direct sun-
light or near a heater.
Clean or replace the air filters as described in
Chapter 7.
The temperature of the air may vary some-
what based on your room temperature. Make
sure that the device is properly ventilated.
Keep the device away from bedding or cur-
tains that could block the flow of air around
the device. Make sure the device is away from
direct sunlight and heating equipment.
If the problem continues, contact your home
care provider.
