You must be familiar with the symbols, definitions, safeguards and operating instructions which apply to the device. 1.2 SETTING THE PRESCRIBED PRESSURE The prescribed patient pressure should be set with the same type of CPAP tube and mask that the patient will be using. Variations in mask exhaust hole size and tube diameter or length will change the pressure at the patient end. 1.3 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED - The patient's tube and mask. - A pressure measuring device with a minimum range of 0 to 20cmH20. - A length of pressure tubing. - "T" adaptor if the mask does not have a pressure port. 1.4 ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE (NB) Please make yourself familiar with 2.1 Pressure Set Menu, before attempting to make pressure adjustments. 1. If the mask has a pressure port, connect the pressure tubing from the mask to the manometer. 2. If the mask does not have a pressure port then insert a "T" adaptor between the tube and mask. Connect the pressure tube to the "T" adaptor. 3. Connect one end of the patient tube to the mask and the other to the device. Refer to the "Important Parts of The Device" section of the SleepStyleTM 600 CPAP Series Operating Manual. 4. Switch the device on. The device will start at its set pressure. 5. The pressure can then be adjusted by pushing down the and button at the same time for 3 seconds. *· Set the altitude as appropriate to the current location by pressing and buttons. (Set the altitude units (feet or metres) to your preference, refer to "Patient Menu - Additional Settings" in the Operating Manual) · Select the button to set/view the pressure. Pressure is adjusted with the and buttons. 6. To change the set pressure, seal the cushioned part of the mask (for the Oracle mask seal the end of the mask tube) so that air flow is only through the bias flow hole, then adjust the pressure until the prescribed pressure is achieved. 7. Once the prescribed pressure is achieved the bias flow hole should be momentarily blocked so that the "no flow" pressure can be measured. This ensures that the prescribed pressure can be reset if the patient mask and tube are not available. 8. Record the prescribed pressure and "no flow" pressure in the "Important Information" section of this manual. * Manual adjustment of altitude is not featured on units where there is the Automatic Altitude Adjustment/Leak Compensation feature A- 2 < < < < English 2 CONTROLS AND DISPLAY Press to activate ramp Increase setting Decrease setting Press to step through options Press & hold to switch device on/off < < 2.1 PRESSURE SET MENU This menu allows the pressure and the altitude to be set.

ThermoSmartTM technology allows for the delivery of optimal (higher and customized) levels of humidity to the patient, independent of ambient temperature. This device can be adjusted on two levels (ThermoSmartTM Comfort and ThermoSmartTM Climate setting) to achieve optimal comfort. - ThermoSmartTM Comfort setting regulates humidity and temperature output. - ThermoSmartTM Climate setting offers an extended range of temperature and humidity combinations a patient can choose from in the ThermoSmartTM Comfort setting. The device is preset to a medium setting at both levels suitable for most nasal interface users. It is recommended that patients start therapy at these default settings and adjust for comfort from there. Exception: patients using an oral interface should have their device set to setting "3"on the ThermoSmartTM Climate setting. Section 5.4 and section 8 of the Operating Manual contain comprehensive information on ThermoSmartTM Technology and how to adjust it.
