To assist you in adjusting the VPAP Auto, the keypad and LCD are equipped with
a backlight. The LCD backlight comes on when the unit is turned on or when you
press a key, and turns off after two minutes. The keypad backlight is on at all
times when the VPAP Auto is powered.

Using the Menus

The VPAP Auto unit provides a set of functions which are arranged in menus and
submenus. Via the LCD screen, the menus and submenus allow you to view and
change the settings for a particular function. You can access the menus
regardless of whether the VPAP Auto is in standby mode or delivering therapy.
After the Welcome screen appears and device self-checks are complete, you will
see either the Ramp screen (S mode and CPAP mode) or the Settling screen
(VAuto mode).

Ramp Screen

(S mode, CPAP mode) If your clinician has set a maximum ramp time, the Ramp
screen is displayed after the Welcome screen. On the Ramp screen, you can
immediately set a ramp time. Ramp time is the period during which the pressure
increases from a low pressure to the prescribed treatment pressure. See "Ramp
Time" on page 16.
Ramp time can be altered in five-minute increments (from OFF to a maximum
ramp time set by your clinician) by the using the Up/Down key.
Settling Screen
(VAuto mode) If your clinician has set a maximum settling time, the Settling
screen is displayed after the Welcome screen. On the Settling screen, you can
immediately set a settling time. Settling time is the period for which the device
remains at Min EPAP (with an inspiratory pressure determined by Pressure
Support on top of Min EPAP). See "Settling Time" on page 16.
Settling time can be altered in five-minute increments (from OFF to a maximum
settling time set by your clinician) by the using the Up/Down key.
