2.7.2 Ramp feature
The device is equipped with an optional ramp feature that your home care service 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 blue
circle will reflect the gradual increase in pressure.
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.
