Using the mask: 

1. Connect the flexible tubing (included with your 

CPAP or bi-level device) to the quick release tube.   
2. Lie down. Turn the therapy device on. Breathe 

normally. Keep your mouth slightly open.
3. Assume different sleeping positions. Move around 

until comfortable. If there are any excessive air leaks, 

make final adjustments. If there are any excessive air 

leaks around the nose, adjust the crown strap first. This 

will move the mask closer or further away from the 

bottom of your nose. Some air leaking is normal.

Comfort Tips

 

The most common mistake is overtightening 

the headgear. The headgear should fit loose and 

comfortable. If your skin bulges around the mask 

or if you see red marks on your face, loosen the 

headgear.

 

Adjust the crown headgear strap to reduce leaks 

around your nose and to lift the straps off of your 

ears 

f

.

 

Adjust the top and bottom side straps to reduce 

leaks at the sides or bottom of the mask cushion 

gh

.

Removing the Mask

Disconnect the headgear clips and pull over the top 
of your head.

Disassembly

1. Headgear clips - Grip and twist away from the 

frame to disconnect.
2. Headgear - Undo the straps. Pull out of headgear 

clips and mask frame slots.
