Do not connect the device to an unregulated or high pressure oxygen source. When using oxygen with this system, a Philips Respironics pressure valve must be placed in-line with the patient circuit between the device and the oxygen source. The pressure valve helps to prevent the back flow of oxygen from the patient circuit into the device when the unit is off.
Periodically inspect electrical cords, cables, tubing, and accessories for damage or signs of wear. Discontinue use and replace if damaged. Repairs and adjustments must be performed by Philips Respironics-authorized service personnel only. Unauthorized service could cause injury, invalidate the warranty, or result in costly device damage.

4. Place the filter into the therapy device. 5. Reinstall the humidifier water tank. Where to place the device Place the device on a firm, flat surface somewhere within easy reach of where you will use it at a level lower than your sleeping position. Make sure the device is away from any heating or cooling equipment (e.g., forced air vents, radiators, air conditioners).
