T365

Flashing Yellow Droplet and Yellow Diamond

Issue: The device has detected non-distilled water in the reservoir

Causes:

•Using water that is less pure than distilled water in the reservoir (CPAP Water may not meet the

requirements of distilled water)

•Using the Zero water filter cartridge longer than recommended.

•Using distilled water in a reservoir that previously had tap water and wasn’t sufficiently rinsed.

•Water signal is corrupt and reporting an incorrect value.

Troubleshooting:

1. Remove and drain the water reservoir

2. Thoroughly rinse the water reservoir with distilled water, make sure to shake it around to clean

all surfaces

3. Replace the zero water filter cartridge (if applicable)

4. Run the drying mode on the CPAP and afterwards remove all power to reset the device

5. Fill the reservoir with distilled water and attach to CPAP

6. Attempt to run the device again. If yellow droplet persists you should let the device run for one

night as some residual non distilled water may still be present in the heater wick

7. Set up an RMA if the error continues to reoccur

Flashing Blue Droplet

Issue: Device is out of water

Causes:

•There is little to no water in the reservoir

•The water detection is faulty

Troubleshooting:

1. If empty, fill the water reservoir with distilled water

2. If not empty, drain the water reservoir

3. Run the drying mode on the CPAP and afterwards remove all power to reset the device

4. Fill the reservoir with distilled water

5. Attempt to run the device again

6. Set up an RMA if the error persists

Issues (Not Faults)

Discomfort Due to a Feeling of High Pressure -Check all connections and fittings to make sure there are

no excessive air leaks, verify settings are correct on the home screen and enable ramp settings. Reset

the device and attempt therapy again, if issues persist contact Somnetics Customer Service.

Nose or Throat Irritation - Increase the humidity setting on the CPAP. Verify the device is using water by

monitoring the water levels before and after therapy. If water is not being used check the wick to see if

it is wicking water (wet to the touch) and verify that the air inlet and filter are not clogged. Replace air

filter accordingly. If issues persist, contact Somnetics Customer Service.

Transcend 365 miniCPAP LCD Doesn’t Illuminate - Confirm device is plugged into an active power

supply (outlet is best for testing) and turn the device on.

Note: The device will automatically turn off the LCD after 30 seconds of idle time (no button presses) –

press any button to re-illuminate the LCD in this instance.

If issues persist contact Somnetics Customer Service.

No Airflow from the Transcend 365 miniCPAP - Contact Somnetics Customer Service.

Water Leaking from Reservoir - Verify the reservoir is within warranty of 6 months and the seal wasn’t

folded over when the reservoir was attached to the CPAP device. Remove reservoir and check the seal

and the reservoir for any noticeable signs of damage. The seal is adhered and should not be removed.

If issues persist contact Somnetics Customer Service to order a replacement reservoir.

Water Leaking from the Weld of the Reservoir -Verify the reservoir is within warranty of 6 months and

the leak is coming from between the top lid and bottom base of the reservoir. No troubleshooting

available, return for evaluation and replacement.

Key Notes

Resetting the CPAP fault

•Hold down the power button for 15 seconds.

Determining the Fault Code

•If the yellow LED light is flashing, ask the customer to count how many times it blinks. The

light will blink in a sequence, stop, and start over again. This will give the error code.
