HOW TO USE THE S8 AUTOSET SPIRIT Please refer to the illustrations in section D of the illustration sheet. SET UP THE S8 AUTOSET SPIRIT 1 Place the S8 AUTOSET SPIRIT on a table near the head of your bed. ! CAUTION Be careful not to place the device where it can be bumped or where someone is likely to trip over the power cord. Note: You can also place your S8 AutoSet Spirit on the floor beside or underneath your bed.
START TREATMENT 1 Make sure the power is on. A welcome message is displayed briefly on the LCD screen, then the standby screen appears. In CPAP mode, the standby screen displays the word “RAMP”.

STOPPING TREATMENT To stop treatment at any time, remove your mask and press the Start/Stop key or if your clinician has enabled SmartStart, simply remove your mask and treatment will end. USING THE MASK-FITTING FEATURE You can use the S8 AUTOSET SPIRIT mask-fitting feature to help you fit your mask properly. This feature delivers air pressure for a three-minute period, prior to starting treatment, during which you can check and adjust your mask fit to minimise leaks.
4 After three minutes, the pressure reverts to the set pressure and treatment will begin. If you do not wish to wait three minutes, hold down the Start/Stop key for at least three seconds to start treatment immediately. • If you press the Start/Stop key for less than three seconds, the unit will return to standby mode (the RAMP or SETTLING screen is displayed).
