Press the Start button to start the air flow. The air will begin flowing slowly and will
build up to full operating pressure in about 10 to 15 seconds.
If patients have difficulty falling asleep with full pressure, they can use the Delay
Timer. The airflow will start very gently while they fall asleep and will slowly
increase to full operating pressure over a selected time period. They can select a
delay time of 5, 10 or 20 minutes (unless you have disabled some of the delay
times). (See See "Limiting the Delay Timer" on page 14.)
Choose a delay time and press the corresponding button. The air will start to flow
automatically. There is no need to push the Start button. If the patient has not yet
fallen asleep after the delay period, he or she may press one of the delay buttons
again.

LITE ONLY
When SmartStart is enabled, the flow generator will automatically start when the
patient breathes into the mask and stop when the patient removes it. If the patient
wants to use the Delay Timer, he or she will need to press a delay button to start
treatment. However, the flow generator will still stop automatically. SmartStart can
only be enabled by the clinician. (See "Elite model" on page 16.)
Do not enable SmartStart when using a mask with an anti-asphyxia valve, such as
the Mirage Full Face Mask.
After removing the mask, patients may stop treatment at any time by pressing the
Stop button. If they have the Elite model and SmartStart is enabled, they can
simply remove their mask and treatment will stop automatically.
