Operating Instructions
Starting Treatment
The VPAP Malibu unit should be assembled beside your bed with the air tubing
and mask system connected. See “Setting Up the VPAP Malibu” on page 13.
1 Turn the main power switch at the back of the unit to on (I).
When the VPAP Malibu is turned on, a welcome message is displayed on the
LCD screen. The VPAP Malibu (or Ramp or Settling) screen then appears.
Note: If you have the HumidAire 2i attached, please refer to the relevant user
manual for operating instructions.
2
Fit your mask as described in the mask user instructions.
3
Lie down and arrange the air tubing so that it is free to move if you turn in your
sleep.
!
CAUTION
Do not leave long lengths of air tubing around the top of your bed. It
could twist around your head or neck while you are sleeping.
Make sure the area around the flow generator is dry and clean. It should
also be clear of bedding, clothes, and other potential blockages.
4
To start treatment, simply breathe into the mask (see “SmartStart™/SmartStop”
on page 23).
Air will begin flowing slowly and will build up to full operating pressure in about
10 to 15 seconds.
Note: If the VPAP Malibu does not start automatically, you can also press the
Front key.
