Standby mode When the Tango is powered, the power indicator is lit and the run hours
are displayed on the LCD. All changes to altitude and ramp settings are
made in standby mode.
Ramp Setting a ramp time enables therapy to start at a low pressure and build
up to full pressure during the ramp time (see “Set ramp time”).
Altitude Changes in altitude affect the pressure delivered by the Tango. The
altitude feature compensates for pressure changes related to changes in
altitude (see “Set altitude”).
Run hours Run hours are displayed when the Tango is in standby mode.
Humidifier The humidifier buttons are used when using the ResMed C-Series Heated
Humidifier and when setting the altitude. The heating indicator lights
when the humidifier is on.

Setting up the Tango
CAUTION
• Be careful to place the device where it cannot be bumped, and where no
one will trip over the power cord.
• If you put the device on the floor, make sure the area is free from dust
and clear of bedding, clothes or other objects that could block the air
inlet.
• Make sure the area around the device is dry and clean.
WARNING
• Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition and the
equipment is not damaged.

• Only ResMed air tubing should be used with the device. A different type
of air tubing may alter the pressure you actually receive and reduce the
effectiveness of your treatment.
• Blocking the hose and/or air inlet of the device while in operation could
lead to overheating of the device.

Cleaning and Maintenance
!
!
WARNING
Beware of electric shock. Do not immerse the flow generator or power cord
in water. Always unplug the flow generator before cleaning and make sure
it is dry before reconnecting.
CAUTION
• Do not hang the air tubing in direct sunlight as it may harden over time
and eventually crack.
• Do not use bleach, chlorine, alcohol, or aromatic-based solutions,
moisturising or antibacterial soaps or scented oils to clean the air tubing
or the Tango. These solutions may cause hardening and reduce the life
of the product.
Daily
Disconnect the air tubing and hang it in a clean, dry place until next use.
Weekly
1. Remove the air tubing and wash it in warm water and mild detergent. Rinse
thoroughly, hang and allow to dry.
2. Before next use, reassemble the mask and headgear.
3. Reconnect the air tubing.
Monthly
• Clean the exterior of the Tango with a damp cloth.
• Check the air filter for holes and blockage by dirt. Replace it every six months, or
more often in a dusty environment.
For information on cleaning your mask or humidifier, refer to the manual supplied with
your mask or humidifier.

Environmental information
WEEE 2002/96/EC is a European Directive that
requires the proper disposal of electrical and
electronic equipment. This device should be
disposed of separately, not as unsorted municipal
waste. To dispose of your device, you should use
appropriate collection, reuse and recycling systems
available in your region. The use of these collection,
reuse and recycling systems is designed to reduce
pressure on natural resources and prevent hazardous
substances from damaging the environment.
If you need information on these disposal systems,
please contact your local waste administration. The
crossed-bin symbol invites you to use these disposal
systems. If you require information on collection and
disposal of your ResMed device please contact your
ResMed office, local distributor or go to

General Warnings and Cautions
A warning alerts you to possible injury.
• Read the entire guide before using the Tango.
• The advice in this guide should not supersede instructions given by the prescribing
physician.
• The Tango should only be used with masks (and connectors*) recommended by
ResMed, or by a physician or respiratory therapist. A mask should not be used
unless the Tango is turned on and operating properly. The vent hole or holes
associated with the mask should never be blocked.
Explanation: The Tango is intended for use with special masks (or connectors*)
with vent holes allowing a continuous flow of air out of the mask.
• When the device is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the device
flushes the exhaled air out through the mask vent holes. If the device is not
operating, insufficient fresh air is provided through the mask, and the exhaled air
may be rebreathed. Rebreathing exhaled air for longer than several minutes can
sometimes lead to suffocation. If there is a power failure or the device machine
malfunctions, remove the mask.
• The Tango can be set to deliver pressures up to 20 cm H
certain fault conditions, pressures up to 30 cm H
• If oxygen is used with this device, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the
2
device is not operating. If oxygen has been left on while the device is not operating,
disconnect the oxygen and wait 30 minutes before turning on the flow generator
again.
Explanation: When the CPAP device is not in operation and the oxygen flow is left
on, oxygen delivered into the air delivery tubing may accumulate within the CPAP
machine enclosure and create a risk of fire.
• Oxygen supports combustion. Do not use oxygen while you are smoking or in the
presence of an open flame.
• Always ensure air is flowing from the device before turning on the oxygen supply.
• Always turn the oxygen supply off before stopping the airflow from the device.
Note: At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen
concentration will vary, depending on where the oxygen is introduced, pressure
settings, patient breathing pattern, mask selection and leak rate.
• Explosion hazard—do not use in the vicinity of flammable anaesthetics.
• Do not use the Tango if there are obvious external defects or unexplained changes
in performance.
• Do not open the Tango case. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repairs
and internal servicing should only be performed by an authorised service agent.
O. In the unlikely event of
2
O are possible.
English
* Ports may be incorporated into the mask or in connectors that are near the mask.
9
Page 12
A caution explains special measures for safe and effective use of the device.
• At low pressures, the flow through the exhalation ports of your mask may not clear
all exhaled gas from the tubing. Some rebreathing may occur.
• The airflow for breathing produced by this device can be as much as 6°C (11°F)
higher than the temperature of the room. Be careful if the room temperature is
warmer than 32°C (90°F).
Servicing
The Tango should be inspected by an authorised ResMed service centre 5 years from
the date of manufacture. Before this, the device is intended to provide safe and reliable
operation if it is operated and maintained according to the instructions provided by
ResMed. Warranty details are provided with the device at the time of original supply.
As with all electrical devices, if any irregularity becomes apparent, you should have the
device inspected by an authorised ResMed service centre.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and
land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted
theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transm tters, an
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which
the C-Series Tango system is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the C-Series Tango
system should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional
measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the C-Series Tango system.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications

The C-Series Tango system is intended for use in an environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled. The customer or the user of the C-Series Tango system can help prevent electromagnetic
interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment (transm tters) and the C-Series Tango system as recommended below, according to the
maximum output power of the communications equipment.
