Setting up the VPAP System

Please refer to the illustrations in section D of the illustration sheet.

Setting Up The VPAP

1Place the VPAP unit on a flat surface near the head of your bed. If the unit is placed on the floor, ensure that the area is free from dust and clear of bedding, clothes or any other objects that could block the air inlet.

CAUTION

! Be careful not to place the device where it can be bumped or where someone is likely to trip over the power cord.

2

!

Connect the power cord to the socket at the rear of the flow generator. Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet (D-1).

WARNING

•Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition and the equipment is not damaged.

•The air filter cover protects the device in the event of accidental liquid spillage onto the device. Ensure that the air filter and air filter cover are fitted at all times.

3

!

Connect one end of the air tubing firmly onto the air outlet of the unit (D-2).

WARNING

Only ResMed air tubing should be used with your flow generator. A different type of air tubing may alter the pressure you actually receive and reduce the effectiveness of your treatment.

4Assemble your mask system according to the mask user instructions.

5Connect your mask system to the free end of the air tubing (D-3).

The VPAP system is now assembled (D-4). To start treatment, see “Starting Treatment” on page 13.

! When using a humidifier, position it lower than you, and at the same level or lower than the VPAP.
