Water Status Indicators
These indicators will only be displayed if the humidifier is set to a level > 0. They will
appear in lower right portion of the Home Screen
Flashing Blue Droplet - Out of Water
Indicated by a flashing blue droplet. Humidifier will be disabled during therapy. Can be
caused by:
No water in the reservoir –only displayed if heater/humidifier is set to level > 0.
If this status appears but there is water in the reservoir, it indicates an error likely
due to moisture in the CPAP. Allowing the system to dry out may correct the issue.
To do this, run the CPAP in Dry Mode.
Note: After drying the system, disconnect and reconnect the power source to ensure the
status is reset.
Flashing blue droplet

Transcend 365 miniCPAP Auto Quick Guide Page 12
Flashing Yellow Droplet and Diamond –Tap Water Detected
Only distilled water should be used with this humidifier. A flashing yellow droplet and
yellow diamond indicate that water other than distilled water is detected in the reservoir.
The humidifier can still be used, although doing so with any type of water other than
distilled will shorten heater life and may void the warranty on the heater. This indicator
may be caused by:
Using water that is less pure than distilled water in the reservoir.
Using distilled water in a reservoir that previously had tap water and wasn’t
sufficiently rinsed. If this is the case, it is recommended to dump out the reservoir
water and rinse with distilled water. Replace water in reservoir with distilled water
for use.
Or, the water signal is corrupt and reporting an incorrect value. This is most likely
caused by moisture in the CPAP. Allowing the system to dry out may correct the
issue. To do this, run the CPAP in Dry Mode.
Note: After drying the system, disconnect and reconnect the power source to ensure the
status is reset.

The Transcend 365 miniCPAP Auto Humidifier
The Transcend 365 miniCPAP Auto is the only continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
device licensed to use advanced, built-in Capillary Force Vaporization™ (CFV)
humidification technology. CFV instantaneously combines humidified vapor with the
airstream on inhalation for warm, moist, comfortable airflow. This unique humidifier
utilizes a wick to draw distilled water up to the heating element, which then delivers warm
vapor upon inhalation. This specialized method of delivering humidification requires less
water, significantly reducing the size of the humidifier.
Caution! Use distilled water only. The use of distilled water is required for
proper function of the heated humidifier. Failure to use distilled water will damage
the humidifier and require repair or replacement. Alternatively, water may be filtered with
the Transcend Portable Water Filter for use with your Transcend 365 miniCPAP humidifier.
The ZeroWater™ Portable Filter Replacement Cartridge can be purchased directly from
your Transcend dealer, or at most major retailers.
Filling the Reservoir

simply joined by magnets- there is not a button or latch that releases the
humidifier from the CPAP device.
2. Hold the reservoir at a slight angle and fill it with distilled water only. This step is
best performed over a sink in case you spill water while filling the reservoir.
Caution: Do not perform this operation near electronic equipment. Always unplug the
power source to your CPAP before attempting to remove the reservoir.
3. You can also use the Transcend 365 Water Filter Kit to fill your reservoir.
