CAUTIONS

• Do not open the device enclosure. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repairs and servicing should only be performed by an authorized ResMed service agent.
• Do not use bleach, chlorine, alcohol, or aromatic-based solutions, moisturizing or antibacterial soaps or scented oils to clean the device, humidifier or air tubing. These solutions may cause damage and reduce the life of these products.
• The H5i should only be used with tubing or accessories recommended by ResMed. Connection of other delivery tubes or accessories could result in injury, or damage to the device.
• Do not open the H5i enclosure. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repairs and servicing should only be performed by an authorised ResMed service agent.
• Do not overfill the water tub as water may enter the device and air tubing.
• Do not use any additives (eg, scented oils and perfumes). These may reduce the humidification output of the H5i and/or cause deterioration of the water tub materials.
• Take care when handling the H5i as the water/water tub may be hot. Allow 10 minutes for the heater plate and any excess water to cool.
• The H5i should only be connected or disconnected when the water tub is empty.
• Make sure that the water tub is empty before transporting the H5i.
• Do not operate the H5i on an aircraft as water may enter the device and air tubing during turbulence.
• Always place the H5i on a level surface below the level of the user to prevent the mask and tubing from filling with water.
• If liquids are inadvertently spilled into or on the H5i, unplug the device from the power outlet. Disconnect the H5i from the device and allow it to drain and dry before re-using.
