English

The circuit configuration is inappropriate as the impedance detected is too high.

Too many components have been included or the impedance of accessories in use is above ResMed’s recommendation, eg, type of filter, external humidifier, air tubing.

Review the components included in the circuit configuration and adjust as appropriate, then rerun Learn Circuit (see “Setup menu” on page 16).
