Page 23
Humidifier Indicator
There are five humidity levels available, and the number of blue indicator lights that light up is directly proportional to the humidity level. If none of the indicator lights light up, it means that the heated humidifier is turned off.
The temperature of the water in the water chamber maintains a constant set level. Three indicator lights light up when the humidity is adjusted to Level 3, as shown in Fig. 13-7.
Fig. 13-7
CAUTIONS!
• Generally speaking, the humidity inside the mask is low when the water temperature is low.
• The greater the difference between the temperature inside the air tubing and room
temperature is, the more easily condensation occurs inside the tubing.
• If there are only a few condensed water droplets inside the tubing in the morning after therapy, it means that the humidity level is appropriate; if there is lots of condensed water droplets inside the tubing and / or mask, it means that the humidity level is too high and should be set lower; Nasal dryness means that the humidity level is too low and should be set higher.
WARNING!
• Do not touch the heater plate of the device when it is working, otherwise you may get burned. Turn off the heat when the heated humidifier is not in use.
