When the VPAP Malibu is turned on, a welcome message is displayed on the

LCD screen. The VPAP Malibu (or Ramp or Settling) screen then appears.

Note: If you have the HumidAire 2i attached, please refer to the relevant user manual for operating instructions.

2Fit your mask as described in the mask user instructions.

3Lie down and arrange the air tubing so that it is free to move if you turn in your sleep.

CAUTION

! • Do not leave long lengths of air tubing around the top of your bed. It could twist around your head or neck while you are sleeping.

• Make sure the area around the flow generator is dry and clean. It should also be clear of bedding, clothes, and other potential blockages.

4To start treatment, simply breathe into the mask (see “SmartStart™/SmartStop” on page 23).

Air will begin flowing slowly and will build up to full operating pressure in about 10 to 15 seconds.

Note: If the VPAP Malibu does not start automatically, you can also press the

Front key.
