Alarm Mute Key
You can mute an alarm by pressing the Alarm Mute key once. If the problem is still present, the alarm will sound again after two minutes. An alarm LED will remain lit for as long as the problem is present.
Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm, hold down the Alarm Mute key for three seconds. On release of the Alarm Mute key, the alarm should sound and the LED should flash for 10 seconds and then stop. ResMed recommends testing the alarm each week.
All menus remain available during an alarm. Treatment screens are not viewable during an alarm condition.

Alarms Troubleshooting
The most common reason for an alarm to sound is because the system has not been properly assembled. Check that the air tubing has been properly attached to the flow generator and mask (and humidifier if used).
When an alarm has been activated, the bottom line of the LCD screen will display either alarm information or recommended instructions for you or your clinician.
Note: The alarm actions listed below are based on having the appropriate alarm settings for your therapy. When an alarm is activated, confirm the alarm settings with your clinician.
CAUTION
! In the event of power failure or machine malfunction, remove the mask.
