GETTING STARTED
Important: It is important to place the Humidifier on a firm, level surface near your bed. It is
recommended that you not place the Humidifier on a surface that could be damaged by water.
The Humidifier should be on a level that is lower than your sleeping position to help prevent
condensation in the mask.

Humidifier by pulling outward (Image a).
2. Remove the Fill Cap (Image b) and carefully
filltheWaterReservoirtotheMAXfillline

3. Replace the Fill Cap and carefully return
theWaterReservoirtotheHumidifierbody
(Image d).
STARTING AND ENDING THERAPY

Humidifier. Be sure your mask is securely
attached to the opposite end of the air
supply tubing (Image e).
Note: Standard 6 foot air tubing is supplied
with the Transcend Sleep Apnea Starter
System. If you have been using the PAP device
without the Humidifier, the universal hose
