Turn the humidity control dial to the desired setting. The setting switches heated humidification off and delivers minimum humidification. The indicator light will remain lit to indicate standby mode. A setting of 6 ( ) delivers maximum humidification.
We recommend that you initially set the control dial to 3 ( ). If necessary, adjust the control dial up or down to find the setting that is most comfortable and effective for you. You can adjust the humidity setting at any time.
The aim is to have moist air delivered to your mask but to avoid condensation forming in the air tubing. The temperature and humidity of the surrounding air will affect the setting you need.
See “Frequently Asked Questions” for further tips on the correct humidity setting.
Fit your mask as described in your mask user instructions.
Press the Start/Stop key on the control panel. Alternatively, if your flow generator has the SmartStart™ function available, simply breathe into your mask and air should begin to flow.
Note: During operation, the indicator light becomes brighter to indicate that the heating element is active. Your HumidAire 3i has a rapid heating element which allows very short heating times. Do not be concerned if the light only brightens very briefly.
Lie down and arrange the air tubing so that it is free to move if you turn in your sleep.
WARNING
Do not leave an excessive length of air tubing around the top of your bed. It could twist around your head or neck while you are sleeping.
STOPPING YOUR TREATMENT
To stop your treatment at any time, remove your mask and press the Start/Stop key. Alternatively, if your flow generator has the SmartStart function available, simply remove your mask and treatment will end.
Some flow generators continue to blow air gently after you have stopped your treatment. This can continue for up to one hour to assist the heater plate in cooling. However, you can unplug the device from the power outlet at any time and allow the heater plate to cool without airflow.
