- Alright guys.
So you've gone out and got your hands on
the little Z2 Travel CPAP machine, congratulations.
In my opinion it is the best travel CPAP machine
on the market.
It's the lightest, now one of the quietest
and most thing it offers
is the most value for money compared to some
of those other travel CPAP options,
that are presently available.
Now when you get at home,
you're gonna be confronted with this terrible piece
of literature called an instruction manual.
Nobody enjoys reading this things.
So instead, how about you sit back, relax,
and I'll walk you through it.
Alright guys, before we get started,
I've just thought I'd take you through the little setup
as you can see on the screen.
So this little battery pack down here is a little
Medistrom, pilot lite 12 volt lithium ion battery pack,
and it's running directly into the Z2 powering it
as we speak.
So the beautiful thing about the Z2 is it's the
only 12 volt travel CPAP machine available.
That means it works great in batteries.
You can plug it into your caravan, your motorbike,
your truck or whatever 12 volt system that you got,
all you got to do is get a little plug, plug it straight in.
And it will work fine, obviously, as well as it works great
with any power point.
So wherever you go in the world, you can plug it
into any power point,
it's automatically going to adjust the voltage
to whatever you need, alright?
But beautiful and the fact that it works really well
with battery systems making it a truly portable device.
Alright, well let's go ahead and program it.
So I've got the home screen here after it's turned on.
The first thing to look at is the pressure.
So to access the pressure,
we're gonna press and hold in the middle button.
Now if it comes up with APAP lock,
that means it's locked and you need to unlock it
and to do so we just press
and hold down the up and down buttons simultaneously
to unlock the device.
And now it's unlocked.
The first value you've got here
is APAP Hi,
so this is the maximum auto level.
So it's as high
as the pressure can go basically.
Now the machine will automatically adjust the pressure
using the auto algorithm.
But we can adjust the different levels by
increasing and decreasing, like so.
Okay, but for now we're just gonna set it at 10.
So it can go as high as 20.
We're just going to sit at 10 for the moment and then press
and hold that button interested lock that pressure in.
So we hold, and then that's locked.
It says accept and then it's gonna
flash the low one, which is the lower limit,
I recommend starting this at sort of five or six.
Some of you might like to start it a bit higher,
if you feel like you're not getting quite enough air
through the machine.
But this for instance,
was started at five and press and hold that button in.
Right now our upper limit and lower limit a locked in.
within an upper limit of 10 and a lower limit of five.
Okay, so the machines basically going to adjust the pressure
between five and 10 based on how our breathing is.
Now because we've kept it at 10.
If 10 is not enough to control our sleep apnea,
we might need to bring that upper level up a bit,
so maybe 11 12 and you can look at whether
or not your apnea is controlled by using the Night-log App.
Which is available for download on Apple and Android.
Now the next thing we gonna look at
is the pressure relief settings.
So this is as your breathing out
machine will reduce the pressure to make it a bit easier
to breathe out against the CPAP.
So to do open them up, we just press the up
and down arrows simultaneously
hold them down for about two, three seconds.
And we'll start flashing out the top of APAP one.
Now it goes APAP one, APAP two, APAP three,
and the higher the number,
the more pressure relief you're gonna get.
It will also make the machine a little bit noisier
as you go up in that number.
Because the motor is gonna be switching the pressure
sort of on and off so you're gonna
get a little bit more noise.
So or you can start at one say hey, you find that
and then if you need to, you can go upwards from there.
Now same as always, once we've got
to the setting that we want.
We press and hold the button down to sort
of lock it in but before I press
and hold it down to lock it in.
I just want to let that if you keep going up,
APAP one APAP two in then press again,
it's gonna to go into CPAP mode.
So this is how we access CPAP mode on the device.
So if I go to CPAP mode now,
let's just say keep it at CPAP one there
and press and hold down that button in.
Now if I go to access the pressure settings
by holding down the middle button.
You can see here it doesn't say auto max or auto min.
It says CPAP.
So this is fixed pressure mode now, I've changed the mode
of the machine into fixed pressure mode.
So machines is going to pump out that one set level.
Whatever I choose,
that machine is going to pump out that set level
of pressure as a CPAP device.
So I'm just going to lock that in at nine and then I'm gonna
change it back to auto again.
Okay, so I'm just going to press and hold
these two buttons to get it back to automatic mode.
We're gonna go back to APAP yet.
So back on a apap again.
Put it APAP one, so that's the least amount
of pressure relief that I'm getting there
but majority of you should still be fine
on just a little bit of pressure relief.
Alright, the other sitting net it's flashing out
is the automatic on setting, an automatic off setting.
Now that will automatically be switched on.
If you get the machine if you want to turn that off,
I'll show you how to do it just in case
you want to you press and hold down the two buttons again.
And then you press and hold down again.
Right and now we can switch that off, and then press
and hold down the middle button to lock it in as always,
whatever setting go got, you always need to hold
down in the middle button to lock it in.
Alright, so I've just switched auto on auto off off.
Okay, most of you will leave that on
'cause it's a handy feature.
Now the other thing you might want to do is program a ramp.
Now a ramp is a handy feature, because it keeps the machine
in low pressure while you're getting off to sleep.
If we press and hold down the up arrow here.
We can set a time.
So you can see as I'm going up.
This how long the machine's gonna to take
to sort of ramp up the pressure gradually.
Oh, sorry, I've just pulled the cord out there, sorry.
Alright, so press and hold down that button.
Yep, so let's bring it up and we'll put it at 35 minutes,
just for example, stakes are put at 40 minutes,
press and hold down the middle button to lock it in.
Now the other part we can change here
is the ramp, start pressure.
So press and hold down the down arrow,
press and how to down.
And you can see here,
this is where the ramp is gonna to start from.
Okay, so I'm gonna bring it up to 4.5.
Just be aware, that number that I just put in 4.5,
has to be lower than whatever the automatic min pressure
is the set so we set out auto min before the five.
I'll just quickly show you that again.
So press and hold that button in, right?
It's lock a 10, APAP lock 10,.
I'm locking in.
APAP highs is at 10.
APAP low was at five.
Alright, so it's a five.
So that means that over, 40 minutes,
the pressure is going to gradually go
from 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 to five.
So it's gonna give you 40 minutes
of a really low gradual pressure.
But you can change that you might have your minimum
per APAP at 6, and your ramp, start pressure at four,
And you might change the ramp time to 20 minutes.
Okay? and that means that over 20 minutes,
the pressure is going to go from four to six.
And then once that 20 minutes is up,
it's the auto algorithm is going to kick in
and it's going to automatically adjust the pressure
between six and whatever you've set
your auto high level to, which might be 12, 14.
You could leave it at 20 if you want
and the machine will automatically
adjust that pressure for you.
Minute by minute is going to sample your breathing
and adjust, so I'll give you perfectly tailored therapy.
Every minute of every night, which is the beauty
of an automatic machine.
So 99% of people are going to keep
this machine in automatic mode,
but some people just like a fixed pressure,
they just wanna pump in 10 or nine not changing.
Right, normally you've got a prescription to set that up.
So that's pretty much how you program it up.
The only other thing you can do is turn Bluetooth
on and Bluetooth off.
And to do that, we just take the power cord out,
just make sure there's power on here.
Yeah.
As we plug the power cord in soon as we do,
we press and hold down the up arrow.
and this is Bluetooth on.
Alright, so to turn the Bluetooth off,
we do the same thing again, we take it out,
push it in and press the down the up arrow
and it'll say Bluetooth off.
But, most of the time you're gonna keep your Bluetooth on
so you can connect it up to your app and download
the data and so forth.
What I've got here I'll just quickly share,
this is the filter cap here,
so to set the filter cap off to sort
of put your thumb in under there.
And it just sort of pops off.
Okay, so this is your filter.
Which you'd want to be changing every month.
Once a month, you can get that dusted off,
but every month put a new one, keep it nice and fresh.
That's going to stop all the dust getting into the machine
keep your machine humming along nicely.
Alright, I think that's all there is to discuss
about programming it up.
You got any questions or anything,
put them in the comment section.
I gonna put a link there
where you can order the machine from.

Have yourself good day.
Cheers, Bye.
