Device Settings
Climate Control
Climate Control is designed to make therapy more comfortable by
enabling constant temperature and maintaining humidity.
This feature:
•delivers comfortable humidity level and temperature during therapy.
•maintains the set temperature and relative humidity during sleep to
prevent dryness in the mouth
•can be set to either Auto or Manual
•is only available when both the ClimateLineAir and HumidAir™ tub
are attached.
Climate Control - Auto setting
Auto is the recommended and default setting. It is designed to make
therapy as easy as possible so there is no need to change the
temperature or humidity settings.
•Sets the tube temperature to Auto (80ºF/27ºC). If the air in the mask
is too warm or too cold, you can adjust the tube temperature to
anywhere from 60 to 86ºF (16 to 30ºC) or turn it off completely
•Adjusts the humidifier output to maintain a constant, comfortable
humidity level of 85% relative humidity
•Protects against rainout (water droplets in the heated air tubing and
mask).
Climate Control - Manual setting
Manual is designed to offer more flexibility and control over settings
and offers the following:
•Temperature and humidity can be adjusted to find the most
comfortable setting
•Temperature and humidity level can be set independently
•Rainout protection is not guaranteed. If rainout does occur, first try
increasing the tube temperature

4
•If the air temperature becomes too warm and rainout continues, try
decreasing the humidity.
Note: If Climate Control is set to Manual, the Auto Tube Temperature
setting is not available.
Humidity Level
The humidifier moistens the air and is designed to make therapy more
comfortable.
•If you are getting a dry nose or mouth, turn up the humidity
•If you are getting any moisture in your mask, turn down the
humidity.
•You can set the Humidity Level to Off or between 1 and 8, where 1
is the lowest humidity setting, and 8 is the highest humidity setting.
To update the settings for Tube Temperature, Climate Control, or
Humidity Level, tap MY OPTIONS from the Home screen, go down the
list of options, and select the setting. Refer to your device user guide
for more information on how to update the device settings.
