Controlling the Humidity (optional)
The heater setting can be adjusted within a range of 1 to 10. The optimum temperature setting is dependent on the
ambient temperature and humidity of your room. If your room temperature is low and/or the relative humidity is high, then a
lower temperature setting may be necessary to prevent excess condensation in the air supply tubing. If the room
temperature is high and/or the relative humidity is low, then a higher temperature setting may be necessary for optimum
comfort.
The heater setting of 1 results in a heater plate temperature of approximately 84°F (29°C). The heater setting of 10 results
in a heater plate temperature of approximately 149°F (65°C).
NOTE–Always allow at least 10 minutes of cooling time after turning the device off before removing the water chamber
from the humidifier cradle.
WaRNiNG
Do not attempt to fill the humidifier while it is attached to the humidifier cradle. Damage to the humidifier cradle
may occur.
CAUTION– Use only distilled water that is at room temperature. Do not add any medication or other additives to the water.
CAUTION– For proper operation, ensure the flow generator is OFF before inserting humidifier chamber.
WaRNiNG
Never touch the heater plate on the humidifier cradle. Never touch the heat transfer plate on the bottom of the
water chamber. These plates can reach temperatures as high as 149°F (65°C) during operation.
Do not operate the heater if the water chamber is empty. The heater plate may be turned off using the keypad
heater control when being used without water.

SmartCode and adherence Score information

Your homecare provider may contact you to retrieve SmartCode and Adherence Score information. To display the
SmartCode, press the LEFT arrow key once. Use the UP arrow or DOWN arrow keys to change the SmartCode reporting
period. Press the LEFT arrow key again to display the Adherence Score.
Generating Compliance Reports for Employer/Insurer/Physician
SmartCode reports satisfy most requirements for ongoing compliance/adherence information, and the software retains
1,023 days (2.8 years) of data. We recommend you work with your provider to establish a routine for clearing SmartCode
data to ensure current usage information is available. Compliance meter should be cleared only after the required report is
generated, submitted, and approved by the requestor. Once cleared, a new cycle of 2.8 years begins and the only source
for the previous data will be the hard-copy reports.
NOTE-Only the provider has access to clear the meter.

using the Comfort Delay Feature

Your SleepCube has a comfort delay feature to help make it easier for you to fall asleep. The airflow will start at a low
pressure and then gradually ramp-up to the prescribed setting over the last few minutes of the specified delay time.
NOTE–When the delay comfort feature is activated, a message will flash on the display periodically, indicating the amount
of time remaining in the delay.
You can adjust the amount of time spent in comfort delay by using the advanced device controls. The Delay Time can be
adjusted from 0 to 45 minutes in 5-minute increments.
NOTE–If you are unable to change the delay time, your provider has locked this setting.
Press the delay button to activate the comfort delay feature. The airflow pressure will drop to the prescribed comfort delay
pressure.
In the final 10 minutes of the delay period, the pressure will gently rise to the pressure prescribed for your therapy. You
may repeat the comfort delay by pressing the delay button again if you have not fallen asleep during the first use.
NOTE–In Bilevel mode, the IPAP and EPAP pressures will gradually rise until they reach the prescription settings.

Shut Down

Press the ON/OFF button to turn the device off. You may also simply remove your mask. After a few seconds the device
will display the message "Mask Off. Please check mask fit." If you do not put the mask on again the device will
automatically turn off in about 20 seconds. Pressing any button will remove the message from the display.
