General warnings and cautions

WARNING
 Make sure that you arrange the air tubing so that it will not twist around the head or neck.
 Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition and the equipment is not
damaged.
 Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces.
 If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of the device, if it is making
unusual sounds, if the device or the power supply are dropped or mishandled, or if the
enclosure is broken, discontinue use and contact your care provider or your ResMed
Service Centre.
 Do not open or modify the device. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repairs and
servicing should only be performed by an authorised ResMed service agent.
 Beware of electrocution. Do not immerse the device, power supply or power cord in water.
If liquids are spilled into or onto the device, unplug the device and let the parts dry. Always
unplug the device before cleaning and make sure that all parts are dry before plugging it
back in.
 Supplemental oxygen must not be used while smoking or in the presence of an open
flame.
 Always make sure that the device is turned on and airflow generated before the oxygen
supply is turned on. Always turn the oxygen supply off before the device is turned off, so
that unused oxygen does not accumulate within the device enclosure and create a risk of
fire.
 Do not perform any maintenance tasks while the device is in operation.
CAUTION
 Use only ResMed parts and accessories with the device. Non-ResMed parts may reduce the
effectiveness of the treatment and/or damage the device.
 Use only vented masks recommended by ResMed or by the prescribing doctor with this
device. Fitting the mask without the device blowing air can result in rebreathing of exhaled
air. Make sure that the mask vent holes are kept clear and unblocked to maintain the flow
of the fresh air into the mask.
 Be careful not to place the device where it can be bumped or where someone is likely to
trip over the power cord.
 Blocking the air tubing and/or air inlet of the device while in operation could lead to
overheating of the device.
 Keep the area around the device dry, clean and clear of anything (eg, clothes or bedding)
that could block the air inlet or cover the power supply unit.
