to make any adjustments to the device if you are traveling to another country where the line
voltage is different than your domestic line voltage. Simply contact your home care provider
for the correct style power cord for the region in which you will be traveling (refer to
Accessories/Replacement Items for the correct part number).
Altitude
Your IntelliPAP automatically compensates for changes in altitude between sea level and
9000 ft (2750 m). You do not need to make adjustments to the device for changes in
altitude.

Battery Power
Your IntelliPAP can be operated from a 12V DC power source in a motor home, boat or
other recreational vehicle. The power source can be used with a 12V DC accessory cable
or a 12 V DC stand-alone battery. Both parts are available from your home care provider
(refer to Accessories/Replacement Items for the correct part numbers). Both accessory
cables are required for stand-alone battery operation. The stand-alone battery connection
uses clamps that attach to the terminal connections of the battery.
NOTE
– The heater for the IntelliPAP's humidification system will not operate directly from a 12V DC power
source. If you need humidification, passover humidification is still available. Alternately, instead of
connecting12V DC power directly to the IntelliPAP , you can pass the DC power through an inverter
that will deliver AC power to the system. This will allow the heater to function. The power rating of
the inverter must be at least 200 watts @ 110V~ / 400 watts @ 220V~.
NOTE
– The IntelliPAP will automatically switch power sources between AC and 12V DC if both sources are
available. If your unit is connected to both AC and 12V DC power sources, it will operate on AC
power as long as AC power is present, and automatically switch to 12V DC power if AC power is
lost. When AC power is restored, it will return to the AC source. You do not need to reset or adjust
any settings when the power source switches, but remember that your heater will not operate on
12V DC.

Supplemental oxygen is sometimes prescribed in addition to CPAP for treatment of
Obstructive Sleep Apnea. If your physician prescribed oxygen for your sleep therapy, you
can add the oxygen in one of two ways:
1.
Obtain the optional oxygen adapter (part #7353D-601) from your home care provider
and connect it to the outlet port on the IntelliPAP . Connect one end of the air supply
tubing to the open end of the adapter and the other end of the air supply tubing to the
mask.
2.
If your mask is equipped with an oxygen port, your physician may request that you
apply oxygen directly to your mask.
