Preparing for Use

Setting Up the VPAP Auto

1
Place the VPAP Auto on a table near the head of your bed.
CAUTION
!
Be careful not to place the device where it can be bumped or where
someone is likely to trip over the power cord.
Note: You can also place your VPAP Auto on the floor beside or underneath
your bed. Ensure that the area is free from dust and clear of bedding, clothes or
any other objects that could block the air inlet.
2
Connect the power cord to the socket at the rear of the flow generator (D-1). Plug
the other end of the power cord into the power outlet.
WARNING
!
Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition and the
equipment is not damaged.
3
Connect one end of the air tubing firmly onto the air outlet (D-2).
WARNING
!
Only ResMed air tubing should be used with your flow generator. A
•
different type of air tubing may alter the pressure you actually receive,
reducing the effectiveness of your treatment.
Blocking the air inlet or tubing while in operation could lead to
•
overheating of the device.
In the clinical environment any personal computer that is used with your
•
CPAP system must be at least 5' (1.5 m) away from, or at least 8' (2.5 m)
above, the patient. It must also comply with the relevant test standard.
For personal computers the international standard is IEC 60950 or
equivalent.
