Comfort Tips
• The most common mistake is overtightening the headgear. The headgear should fit loose
and comfortable. If your skin bulges around the mask or if red marks appear on your face,
loosen the headgear.
• Re-seat the mask by pulling it directly away from your face and gently setting it back into
place.
Removing the Mask
Disconnect a bottom clip or undo a headgear tab. Slide the headgear forward over your head.
