1. Plug in the Dolphin CPAP (if it is not already plugged in).
Only connect the Dolphin CPAP to a three-wire, grounded, hospital-grade re-
ceptacle. The three-conductor plug must be inserted into a properly wired
electrician must install one in accordance with the governing electrical code.
Do not under any circumstances remove the grounding conductor from the
