properly assembled. Check that the air tubing has been properly attached to the device and
patient interface (and humidifier if used).

• The alarm log and alarm settings are maintained when the device is powered down and
in the event of a power loss.
• If multiple alarms are active simultaneously, the alarm with the highest priority will be
displayed first.
