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.
� Warning-oXygEn uSE
Oxygen supports combustion. To avoid possible physical injury, do not
smoke while using this device with supplemental oxygen. Do not use this
device near hot objects, volatile substances or sources of open flames.
Always turn on the SleepCube before turning on the oxygen source. Turn
the oxygen source off before turning off the SleepCube.
This device is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable
anesthetic mixture with air or oxygen, or nitrous oxide.
At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen, the inhaled oxygen
concentration will vary depending on the pressure setting, patient
breathing pattern, mask selection, and leak rate. This warning applies to
most types of CPAP devices.
Never allow the oxygen source to run continuously while connected to the
SleepCube if the device is not in use. If the SleepCube is not being used,
turn off the oxygen flow.
CAUTION– Oxygen is a prescription gas and should only be administered under the
supervision of a physician.
CAUTION– T he flow setting of the oxygen source must be specified by a physician.
