Data management
There are two data ports at the rear of the device for connecting a USB stick. Refer to Stellar at a glance
(see page 2). Therapy and device data can be stored on it or read from it to be used with ResMed software
applications.
WARNING
Do not connect any device to the data ports other than specially designed devices recommended by
ResMed. Connection of other devices could result in injury, or damage to the Stellar. Refer to
General warnings and cautions (see page 32).

incorrect data may result. The download time depends on the data volume.
