Resmed AirSense 10 Autoset - how do I turn off humidification? - Linear Thinker - 05-27-2022
My ~3-year old AirSense 10 Autoset does not give me an option to adjust humidity.
I tried the regular settings, Clinical settings, factory-settings reset etc.
There are lots of instructions, manuals and YouTube videos out there - none of them appear applicable to my unit.
I use the factory side-cover (bypassing the water chamber) while travelling and camping, and the water heating plate gets hot even when there's nothing to heat, so I am concerned about damaging the expensive CPAP, or draining the portable battery before getting a nights' use.
Please recommend a solution.

On the numbered humidity selector, you just keep decreasing until it turns off. 5,4,3,2,1,off
It turns off the hot plate.

Unfortunately, there's no numbered humidity selector. No such option under any of the menus, including Clinical Settings. What am I missing here?

It’s on the lighted display when the machine is on.

ResMed Air 10s have a setting that configures what features are available to the patient.
Essentials, can be set to Plus. Sounds like yours is set to Off.
You will need to go into Clinical mode, find Essentials and then set it to Plus. This will add Humidity and a few other items to the user mode menu.

Dog Slobber -
Problem solved, your hint about the Essentials setting was spot-on.
Also, by trial-and-error I found that I needed to insert the water tank, rather than the side cover, to access the Climate setting (needs to be Manual) and then I was able to change the Humidity!
