I am in the process of getting a 960 machine. Check back with me in a couple/three weeks and I will see if I have the discrepancy in LL flags you are seeing between SH and Encore.Uncle Flapp wrote:The LL flag in SH has never worked for me (but it does in Encore) so I look at the graph and try to identify any instances manually. DL, I am curious if you are able to see any LL flags on yours since our machines are the same.

Nope - I've never gotten that to work either. However, on the "welcome" screen and in the statistics, you can see leak figures.Uncle Flapp wrote:Thanks for your replies, Pugsy and Darth Lady. The large leak indication on the machine LCD remains at 0% even on the rare occasion my mouth opens and I awake. My guess is because the machine reports an average for the entire night and a few breaths aren't going to set it off. The LL flag in SH has never worked for me (but it does in Encore) so I look at the graph and try to identify any instances manually. DL, I am curious if you are able to see any LL flags on yours since our machines are the same. I did report this anomaly to Mark a while back.

Unfortunately, the large leak threshold in SH is a customizable fixed rate and not a true representation of large leaks - at least not with PRS1.Darth Lady wrote:Nope - I've never gotten that to work either. However, on the "welcome" screen and in the statistics, you can see leak figures.
Are you using liners? Made a world of difference for me with the Quattro Air and F10 (I used to alternate). I now *heart* the P10 and there is no going back.Darth Lady wrote:It doesn't take much leaking to wake me up, so I do a lot of work at stopping leaks

That customizable leak number thing is useless and really doesn't do anything.Uncle Flapp wrote: Unfortunately, the large leak threshold in SH is a customizable fixed rate and not a true representation of large leaks - at least not with PRS1.

Even if you could clamp your jaws shut with a vise, the lips can open and allow air to pass through the mouth. That is why some tape their mouth shut.footballgirl13 wrote:I've read that chin straps also - stretch and they don't help with the mouth opening at night.

Some people on this forum actually use it on their lips and say it works great and, as a extra benefit, can be pulled apart in an emergency. Before I switched to FFMs I was meaning to try it, however I never got around to buying a tube.
