The device is equipped with an optional ramp feature that your home care 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

If ramp is enabled on your device, after you turn on the airflow, press the
button on the top of
the device. You can use the Ramp button as often as you wish during the night.
Note:
If the ramp feature is disabled, nothing will happen when you press the
