iii. While your HUMIDAIRE 3i is in Warm-Up mode you can:
• Start treatment at any time by pressing the Start/Stop key.
• Access the menus by pressing Menu (Left key).
• Stop the Warm-Up feature at any time by pressing Exit (Right key).
The Warm-Up feature will automatically turn off after 30 minutes if treatment has not
started.

Turn the humidity control dial to the desired setting. The setting switches heated
humidification off and delivers minimum humidification. The indicator light will remain
lit to indicate standby mode. A setting of 6 ( ) delivers maximum humidification.
We recommend that you initially set the control dial to 3 ( ). If necessary, adjust the
control dial up or down to find the setting that is most comfortable and effective for
you. You can adjust the humidity setting at any time.
The aim is to have moist air delivered to your mask but to avoid condensation forming
in the air tubing. The temperature and humidity of the surrounding air will affect the
setting you need.
See “Frequently Asked Questions” for further tips on the correct humidity setting.

Fit your mask as described in your mask user instructions.
5
Press the Start/Stop key on the control panel. Alternatively, if your flow generator
has the SmartStart™ function available, simply breathe into your mask and air should
begin to flow.
Note: During operation, the indicator light becomes brighter to indicate that the heating
element is active. Your HumidAire 3i has a rapid heating element which allows very short
heating times. Do not be concerned if the light only brightens very briefly.
6
Lie down and arrange the air tubing so that it is free to move if you turn in your sleep.
!
WARNING
Do not leave an excessive length of air tubing around the top of your bed. It could
twist around your head or neck while you are sleeping.
STOPPING YOUR TREATMENT
To stop your treatment at any time, remove your mask and press the Start/Stop key.
Alternatively, if your flow generator has the SmartStart function available, simply
remove your mask and treatment will end.
Some flow generators continue to blow air gently after you have stopped your
treatment. This can continue for up to one hour to assist the heater plate in cooling.
However, you can unplug the device from the power outlet at any time and allow the
heater plate to cool without airflow.
