Ramp Feature
The device is equipped with an optional ramp feature that your home care provider can enable or disable. This 
feature reduces the air pressure when you are trying to fall asleep and \
then gradually increases (ramps) the pressure 
until your prescription setting is reached, allowing you to fall asleep more comfortably.
If ramp is enabled on your device, after you turn on the airflow, press the Ramp (  ) button on the top of the 
device. You can use the Ramp button as often as you wish during the night.
When you click the ramp button, the Therapy screen will change to reflect the Ramp pressure, and the green circle 
will reflect the gradual increase in pressure.
Ramp Pressure Screen
Your device has two ramp modes. Your Provider will select the one that is most appropriate for you. The standard 
ramp mode increases pressure at a steady rate.  Alternately, the SmartRamp mode maintains a constant lower 
pressure until the device detects that you require more pressure.

Check Mask Fit
The optional check mask fit feature can be enabled or disabled by your home care provider. This feature allows you to 
check the fit of your mask prior to starting therapy. This is done by measuring the amount of leak. Put on your mask 
assembly. Refer to your mask instructions if needed. Navigate to the Check Mask Fit screen under “My Setup” and 
press the control dial to initiate the check. 
The device will deliver a test pressure while the screen counts down 40 seconds. A green bar indicates good fit, while 
a red bar indicates improvement is needed.  After the test, normal therapy will start and the screen will either display 
a green checkmark or a red “X”. The green checkmark indicates that the leak found allows for optimal performance 
of the device. The red “X” indicates that the leak may affect device performance, however, the device will remain 
functional and deliver therapy.

the check mask fit. Please refer to the instructions that came with your mask and headgear for the proper fitting 
procedure.

screen displays your “Three Night Summary.” It shows your nightly usage for the last 3 sleep sessions (measured in 
24 hour periods, ending at noon each day). The most recent session is displayed in the right hand bar, labeled with the 
number of hours slept.  A green bar indicates that you slept more than 4 hours, and a yellow bar indicates less than 4 
hours of use.
The second screen shows the total number of 4+ hour nights that you have slept in the last 30 days. It provides a goal 
of sleeping at least 4 hours per night for 70% of the last 30 nights. Therefore the goal is 21 “good nights” of use. This 
screen provides a simple way to track your progress. The screen will stop displaying when you reach the goal, or after 
the first 90 days of use has passed, whichever comes first.
