mask-fitting feature to help you fit your mask
properly. This feature delivers air pressure for a three-minute period, prior to starting
treatment, during which you can check and adjust your mask fit to minimize leaks.

are using.
To use the mask-fitting feature:
1 Fit your mask as described in the mask user instructions.

key for at least three seconds until air pressure delivery
starts.

feature is operating. Your S8 device will ramp to the mask-fit pressure and will remain
at this pressure for three minutes.
The LCD also displays a mask-fit star rating. See “Definitions of Mask-Fit Star Rating”
on page 14.
Note: The mask-fit star rating display disappears after three minutes.
The mask-fitting feature can only be started from the RAMP or SETTLING screen.
