proBlem Why It happened What to do
The device has fallen o your
table or nightstand.
The device may not
have been properly
seated on the
nightstand, or the
placement of the
tubing may have
caused the device
to fall.
Always make sure your device is placed on a hard, at surface so the
feet on the bottom of the device can adhere to the surface (make
sure there is no fabric under the device). The device (and humidier, if
using) must be level for proper operation.
Also, place the device away from the edge of the nightstand or table,
so it doesn’t accidentally get knocked o the table.
If you are using a humidier with the device, make sure that the
device and humidier are placed below your head and mask, so that
any condensation in the tubing drains back into the water chamber.
If the device and humidier fall and water gets into the device, drain
all water out of the device and make sure it is completely dry before
reapplying power.
If the placement of the tubing causes the device to fall, make sure
that you use proper hose management when setting up your device.
Route the tubing behind the bed’s headboard, as shown in Chapter
3, Setup.
If the device falls or water gets into the device upon falling, let the
device dry completely before restarting it. If the device does not
operate correctly after falling, contact your home care provider.
You are having problems
connecting the tubing to the
device.
You have lost the
air outlet port or are
traveling and forgot
to bring the port with
you.
If you are not using a humidier, you cannot connect your tubing to
the device without the detachable air outlet port, shown below.
You must have the port attached properly before connecting your
tubing.
You are experiencing excessive
air leaks where the tubing
connects to the device.
The air outlet port is
not installed correctly
and doesn’t seal
properly.
Remove the port and reattach it to make sure it’s properly installed.
To remove the port:
a. Put your thumb underneath the port and insert your index
nger into the port opening.
b. Pivoting from the bottom, unsnap the port and pull it away
from the device.
To properly reattach the port:
a. Make sure it is correctly oriented (with the port opening at the
top), and insert the two latches at the bottom of the port into
the openings on the bottom of the device.
b. Push the top of the port down to snap it into place.
Reattach your tubing, turn on the airow, and check to make sure
you do not still feel air coming out of the port area.
