The device automatically compensates for differences in air pressure (e.g.
as a result of great altitude).
3.2 Fitting the mask
1.
Adjust the forehead support of the mask (if present).
2.
Connect the headgear to the mask.
3.
Position the mask.
4.
Adjust the headgear so that the bulge of the mask only results in low pressure to
prevent pressure points on the face.
For further instructions, please refer to the operating instructions for the relevant mask.
