The provider manual I have is not for my actual machine. I can't remember why the RT at the DME gave me that manual instead of the one for my actual machine, but that's how it is. As far as I remember, everything else in the manual is the same, but for accessing provider mode, it says "simultaneously press the Right User button and the Silence button, and hold for at least 2 seconds." The machine that is pictured looks a little different than mine and has no knob. I was pressing the silence button and the button on the right.
page one of the provider manual.
It was page 6-1 in mine.
hope that helps.
It did, thank you! And thank you and Pugsy for putting up with that moment of paranoia and resulting problems there! I was so disturbed by the doctor turning off the AHI/ periodic breathing/ mask leak information. That was adding to my difficulty in thinking clearly. I did make a note in my manual on the correct buttons to push, so if I forget again I won't be led astray by directions that don't cross over to my machine.
I think the fact that I was so sure they had locked me out of my machine speaks to how little trust I have in that doctor and how little trust I think he has in me. That is not a good patient/ doctor relationship.
