What are accessory ports on hybrid mask?

I've got a cold and want to use my new hybrid universal mask tonight. I've got it put together and ready to go but am a little uncertain about the plastic caps over the "accessory ports". Does anyone know if you're supposed to leave them on or remove them? The little booklet doesn't say anything about them, just names them on the diagram (and the diagram makes it look like the little caps are off).

Leave them on. They are so you can add O2 to the CPAP stream if you are on O2.

Also, some CPAPs have presure lines which can be attached to the ports in question.
