how to use S9 auto without humidifier?????

Post by newname » Tue Dec 18, 2012 8:21 pm

I wake up every day with a headache in my forehead. It's a very nagging headache which doesn't go away very quickly. I'm wondering if it's from the humidifier? It's set on the automatic humidity with climateline hose.
I'm thinking maybe the air is bothering my sinuses. Maybe the air is too hot? I don't know how to adjust this or use my machine without the humidifier.
If I just remove the humidifier from the machine, where do I connect the hose?

I would just turn the setting of humidification to OFF, with the right hand knob.

See pg 5 here:

Did your machine come with the standard hose as well?
You need this to connect direct to the S9 unit (unclip the humidifier)
and plug the hose onto the side of the S9. I think it mentions this in the Welcome Guide that comes with the unit.
