2. Safety Instructions
Please read these operating instructions through carefully. They form part of the
equipment and should be available at all times.
For your own safety, the safety of your patients, and to comply with the require-
ments of EU Directive 93/42 EEC, please observe the following points.
2.1 Safety instructions
Operating the unit
Caution!
•
The power supply supplied allows the unit to be operated at volt-
ages between 115 V and 230 V. Check that your supply voltage
falls within this range. With a 12 V DC or 24 V DC supply, use the
WM 24469 DC adapter available as an accessory.
•
CPAP 20e must be connected to an easily accessible socket so
that the mains plug can be quickly removed in the event of a
power failure.
•
Do not cover the unit or power supply. Do not use in the vicinity
of a heater or in direct sunlight. The unit may overheat, resulting
in insufficient therapy delivery and damage to the unit.
•
Maintain a safe distance between the CPAP 20e and equipment
that emits HF radiation (e.g. mobile phones). This unit may other-
wise malfunction (see page 44). If CPAP 20e interferes with other
equipment (e.g. a radio), put the CPAP 20e further away from the
equipment.
Caution!
•
Do not use the therapy unit or humidifier if the unit is malfunc-
tioning, parts are damaged and/or the contact between the
humidifier and the heater rod is damp.
