twist around your head or neck while you are sleeping .
• Do not connect or insert any device, cable or articles into the Micro USB or Micro SD
ports of your Z1 except as described in this User Guide . Connecting other devices
could result in injury to you or damage to the Z1 and void the warranty .
• Do not locate your Z1 in an unapproved place or where the air intake can be blocked
during treatment . This will lead to overheating of the Z1 . If a blocked intake should
occur during operation, the unit may stop supplying pressurized air and cause a fault
condition . Refer to "Troubleshooting" in this User Guide to interpret this fault and
instructions for corrective action .
• The Z1 is designed to deliver pressures from 4 to 20 cm H
certain fault conditions, pressures of up to 30 cm H
• Blocking the CPAP Tube while in operation could lead to overheating of the Z1 .
• In the clinical environment, any personal computer that is used with your CPAP
system must be at least 5 feet (1 . 5 m) away from, or at least 8 feet (2 . 5 m) above, the
patient . It must also comply with the relevant test standard . For personal computers
the international standard is IEC 60950 or equivalent .
