Re: New at this

I have window's 8.1 Stick with SleepyHead for now till you get more comfortable with the software and what you see. The only Respironics software that will install on Windows 8xx is Pro 2.12 and it's a beast to install and use. EncoreBasic is simpler and easier but it won't install on Windows 8xxx....

Re: New at this

Can't find the model number? It's on the bottom of the blower on a little silver sticker. It may have the letters DS or REF in front of it. It is in tiny letters. On the same sticker is an 8 digit number in the lower corner...that would be year/month/day of manufacture....example 20130601 would be ...

I live in Delaware and there is the mode number I looked the bottom and every thing is small print but I dont see any thing where...

Re: New at this

Look on the bottom of the blower unit for a 3 digit model number and tell us that number. Remove water tank first. Water at the mask level..how much? A little or a lot? Any water in the hose? It could be moisture in your own exhaled breath condensing in the mask ....happens to the best of us if we ...

Re: New at this

Use of the ramp feature is optional and is a comfort feature so you turning it off won't be changing your prescribed treatment. In fact, turning it off will get you to your prescribed pressure quicker. Shouldn't be a problem with your provider at all. Let us know if doing this helps. I will let ya'...
