Using the Mask-fitting Feature

You can use the S8 Series II mask-fitting feature to help you fit your mask properly. This feature delivers air pressure for a three-minute period, prior to starting treatment, during which you can check and adjust your mask fit to minimise leaks.

Note: Make sure that the mask setting on the MASK screen is the same as the mask you are using.

1 Fit your mask as described in the mask user instructions.

2 With the RAMP or SETTLING screens displayed, hold down for at least

three seconds until air pressure delivery starts. Your device will ramp to the mask-fit pressure and will remain at this pressure for three minutes. The following displays on the LCD screen indicating that the mask-fitting feature is operating, where: ***** is an excellent fit;****- is a very good fit; ***-- is a good fit; while **---, *---- and ----- each require you to adjust your mask.

3 Adjust your mask, mask cushion and headgear until you have a secure and

comfortable fit. After three minutes, the pressure reverts to the set pressure and treatment will begin. If you do not wish to wait three minutes, hold down for at least three seconds to start treatment immediately. If you press for less than three seconds, the unit will return to standby mode (the RAMP or SETTLING screen).

Starting Treatment

The product name is displayed briefly on the screen, then the standby screen displays RAMP (or SETTLING). The key and LCD backlights also turn on.
