1. Fully insert the power cord into the back of the device. Plug the other end of the power cord into the AC wall outlet.
2. Attach air supply tubing to air supply port in the back of the device.
3. Prepare the mask (supplied by your equipment provider) by referring to the mask's instruction guide.
4. Connect the air supply tubing to the mask.
NOTE–The air supply tubing supplied with the device is specially designed to prevent kinking and allow you to receive
optimal airflow. Use only the 22 mm diameter, smooth-bore, kink-resistant tubing supplied with this device or an air supply
tubing recommended by your equipment provider.

Start-up

Put on your mask and press the ON/OFF button on the keypad OR put on your CPAP mask and take a few breaths to turn
on airflow automatically. The pressure in your mask will rise to the set pressure in about 10 seconds.
NOTE–If the device does not automatically start after taking 2-3 breaths, this feature may have been disabled. If Auto ON/
OFF is disabled, you must manually press the ON/OFF button to start and stop the device.
The keypad display shows the actual mask pressure while the device is in use. Because this is the actual pressure, the
device pressure reading may vary slightly as you breathe.
If your DeVilbiss IntelliPAP system includes a humidifier, its heater controls and status are displayed.
NOTE– If the display on your device is not similar to those listed above, refer to the section titled "Patient Messages" on
page EN-8.
controlling the Humidity (optional)
The heater setting can be adjusted within a range of 1 to 10. The optimum temperature setting is dependent on the
ambient temperature and humidity of your room. If your room temperature is low and/or the relative humidity is high, then a
lower temperature setting may be necessary to prevent excess condensation in the air supply tubing. If the room
temperature is high and/or the relative humidity is low, then a higher temperature setting may be necessary for optimum
comfort.
The heater setting of 1 results in a heater plate temperature of approximately 84°F (29°C). The heater setting of 10 results
in a heater plate temperature of approximately 149°F (65°C).
