English 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.
Only ResMed air tubing should be used with the device. A different type of air tubing may alter the pressure you actually receive and reduce the effectiveness of your treatment. • Blocking the hose and/or air inlet of the device while in operation could lead to overheating of the device. • 2 1 3 4 1. 2. 3. 4.

General Warnings and Cautions A warning alerts you to possible injury. • Read the entire guide before using the Tango. • The advice in this guide should not supersede instructions given by the prescribing physician. • The Tango should only be used with masks (and connectors*) recommended by ResMed, or by a physician or respiratory therapist. A mask should not be used unless the Tango is turned on and operating properly. The vent hole or holes associated with the mask should never be blocked.
A caution explains special measures for safe and effective use of the device. At low pressures, the flow through the exhalation ports of your mask may not clear all exhaled gas from the tubing. Some rebreathing may occur. • The airflow for breathing produced by this device can be as much as 6°C (11°F) higher than the temperature of the room. Be careful if the room temperature is warmer than 32°C (90°F).
