NOTe– The SleepCube will automatically switch power sources between AC and 12V DC if
both sources are available. If your unit is connected to both AC and 12V DC power
sources, it will operate on AC power as long as AC power is present, and automatically
switch to 12V DC power if AC power is lost. When AC power is restored, it will return
to the AC source. You do not need to reset or adjust any settings when the power
source switches, but remember that your heater will not operate on 12V DC.

Supplemental oxygen is sometimes prescribed in addition to CPAP for treatment of
Obstructive Sleep Apnea. If your physician prescribed oxygen for your sleep therapy, you
can add the oxygen in one of two ways:
1. Obtain the optional oxygen adapter (part #7353D-601) from your home care
provider and connect it to the outlet port on the SleepCube. Connect one end of the
air supply tubing to the open end of the adapter and the other end of the air supply
tubing to the mask.
2. If your mask is equipped with an oxygen port, your physician may request that you
apply oxygen directly to your mask.
