The Tango Interface

Heating indicator

Power indicator

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.
