Preparation

Remove the connector plug from your flow generator (a) and attach it to the back of the docking station (b).

1Introduction

System setup

1 Align your H4i with your flow generator and push them together until they click into

place. Connect the power cord to the socket on the rear of your flow generator.

2 3 Plug the other end of the power cord into the power outlet.

Place the combined unit on a firm, level surface near your bed at a level lower than your sleeping position. Ensure the surface is not sensitive to heat and/or moisture, or use a protective mat.

Connect one end of the air tubing firmly onto the air outlet.

4 5 Connect the assembled mask system to the free end of air tubing.

WARNING

• Make sure your flow generator is switched off at the power outlet before

connecting the H4i.

• The H4i docking station should only be connected or disconnected when the

water chamber is empty.

• Water must be prevented from entering your flow generator. Do not

transport the flow generator with the H4i attached.

• The H4i is contraindicated for invasive use. An external humidifier approved

for invasive use is recommended according to EN ISO 8185.
