Setting Up the VPAP Malibu

WARNING

! • Do not connect any device (other than the ResLink™ module) to the auxiliary port. Although your health care provider may connect specially designed devices to the auxiliary port of the VPAP Malibu unit, connection of other devices could result in injury to persons, or damage to the unit.

• In the clinical environment any PC that is used with the VPAP Malibu system must be at least 5’ (1.5 m) away from, or at least 8’ (2.5 m) above the patient. It must also comply with IEC 60950 or equivalent.

Note: 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.

1Place the VPAP Malibu 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.

Connect the power cord:

There are two sockets at the rear of the flow generator—the top one for an AC (standard mains electricity) and the lower one for a DC power cord (see “Using DC Power to Run the VPAP Malibu” on page 25). ResMed recommends using the AC power cord supplied with the unit.

The customized ResMed power cord can be held in place with the locking clips. To insert the locking clip, pinch the free ends together and fit the pins into the holes on both sides of the socket. Insert the power cord into the socket. Push the locking clip down so that the groove holds the power cord in place. Plug one
