3. Put on your mask assembly when the air starts to flow.
4. Make sure that no air is leaking from your mask into your eyes. If
it is, adjust the mask and headgear until the air leak stops. See the
instructions that came with your mask for more information.
NOTE: A small amount of mask leak is normal and acceptable.
Correct large mask leaks or eye irritation from an air leak as
soon as possible.
5. If you are using the device while sleeping, try placing the tubing
from the device over your headboard. This may reduce tension on
the mask.
6. Relax. Take normal, relaxed breaths through your nose.
NOTE: If you are having trouble with your mask, see Chapter 8,
Troubleshooting, for some suggestions.
