I fill mine right to the "max" line, and, in fact, start the warm up cycle about 15 minutes before I put the mask on for the night. And even doing that, the tank of water lasts me usually at least 4 nights, set at 2.5.

I don't think I've ever checked it just as I turn off the machine, to see how warm it is... though I have had a couple nights where the tank's gone dry and I've filled it then... it's never been hot, just a bit warm to the touch.

Upon looking at data it seems 5-6 past months show the Summary Only icon but this month so far show Summary/Detailed info icon next to the days in question. My earlier (last year) downloads have always shown Summary/Detailed info. No other changes made to software. Could this too be related to something as simple as forgetting to shange the clock to EST/DST.
Thank You.

welcome to the forum.

the s9 only holds so much data with full details. after that it's only the summary info. somebody with resmed will explain it better.

It's officially 7 days of detailed data. But I know that at least a couple times I've seen more then that on mine. Big thing is, if you download it once a week - and when it asks if you want to overwrite the previous data, say no - you'll have all the detailed data you want. :-)

As I recall reading somewhere, the H5i is supposed to reach a temp of 150 degrees to increase air humidity. That would register on your hand as more than warm, if the plate was operating when touched. I do not know the difference in percentage humidity for a setting of 2.5 vs 4.5, and I know it also involves the ambient temperature and humidity. While I live in a hot climate, I also use air conditioning, which significantly reduces humidity. My house system has been on a/c for the last month and one-half, so I guess my cpap was at a relatively low ambient humidity for the period to which I was referring.

Just downloaded the newest version of ResScan (4.01) by following the instructions on this board. I'm very happy with the software thus far but was wondering one thing - How do I add a note to a particular calendar day? I'm a fireman, and on work days I'd like to add a note making that distinction, ran so many calls, sort of like a journal.

Sleepyhead does this both with a journal and note function added to a selected calendar day.

Cheers,

Ian
