2. Safety Instructions

Please read these operating instructions through carefully. They form part of the equip-

For your own safety, the safety of your patients, and to comply with the requirements of
EU Directive 93/42 EEC, please observe the following points.
2.1 Safety instructions
Operating the unit
Caution!
• The power supply supplied allows the unit to be operated at voltages be-
tween 115 V and 230 V. Check that your supply voltage falls within this
range. With a 12 V DC or 24 V DC supply, use the WM 24469 DC adapt-
er available as an accessory.
• CPAP 20e must be connected to an easily accessible socket so that the
mains plug can be quickly removed in the event of a power failure.
• Do not cover the unit or power supply. Do not use in the vicinity of a
heater or in direct sunlight. The unit may overheat, resulting in insuffi-
cient therapy delivery and damage to the unit.
• Maintain a safe distance between the CPAP 20e and equipment that
emits HF radiation (e.g. mobile phones). This unit may otherwise mal-
function (see page 46). If CPAP 20e interferes with other equipment (e.g.
a radio), put the CPAP 20e further away from the equipment.
Caution!
• Do not use the therapy unit or humidifier if the unit is malfunctioning,
parts are damaged and/or the contact between the humidifier and the
heater rod is damp.
• The performance of the humidifier can be affected if it is used outside
the permitted temperature range.
• Observe the operating instructions for your mask.
• Please observe the section „5. Hygienic preparation" on page 25 to
avoid infection or bacterial contamination.
