If you are using AC power, check the outlet and verify that the
device is properly plugged in. Make sure there is power available
at the outlet. Make sure the AC power cord is connected
correctly to the power supply and the power supply cord is
securely connected to the device's power inlet. If the problem
continues to occur, contact your home care provider. Return
both the device and power supply to your provider, so they can
determine if the problem is with the device or power supply.
If you are using DC power, make sure your DC power cord and
battery adaptor cable connections are secure. Check your battery.
It may need recharged or replaced. If the problem persists, check
the DC cord's fuse following the instructions supplied with your
DC cord. The fuse may need to be replaced. If the problem still
occurs, contact your home care provider.
Make sure the device is powered correctly. Make sure "Therapy"
is highlighted when pressing the control wheel to start airflow. If
the airflow does not turn on, there may be a problem with your
device. Contact your home care provider for assistance.
Unplug the device. Reapply power to the device. If the problem
continues, relocate the device to an area with lower EMI
emissions (away from electronic equipment such as cellular
phones, cordless phones, computers, TVs, electronic games, hair
dryers, etc.). If the problem still occurs, contact your home care
provider for assistance.
If Ramp has not been prescribed for you, discuss this feature
with your home care provider to see if they will change your
prescription.
If your provider has enabled Ramp, but the feature still does
not work, check the CPAP setting on your Active Display
screen. If CPAP is set to the minimum setting (4.0 cm H

the Ramp feature will not work. Make sure that the ramp time
setting is >0.
Clean or replace the air filters.
The temperature of the air may vary somewhat based on your
room temperature. Make sure that the device is properly
ventilated. Keep the device away from bedding or curtains that
could block the flow of air around the device. Make sure the
device is away from direct sunlight and heating equipment.

settings. Refer to the humidifier instructions to make sure the
humidifier is working properly.
If the problem continues, contact your home care provider.
