ResMed Card

Post by hose head » Mon Jan 05, 2009 7:53 pm

I got a ResMed Card from an auction. When I inserted the card into my machine it reads, card error. Do I need to format card? If so how?
Thanks,
M

First off did you put the gold plated section up or down? Second, is the gold plated section CLEAN? Once in a while, usually when the gold plate is getting dirty, you will get that message, pull the card out, reinsert it and it works just fine.

I insert card gold down in machine and gold up in card reader. I cleaned card, still no luck. And I did try it both up and down in machine. I will write person I bought card from, but I will probably be buying card from some place else. Thanks for all of your help.

Yer welcome. Resmed data cards don't have to be formated. At least I've never had to format one. I just stick it in the xPAP and when done copying stick it in the cable reader and do the download. And I've done this w/one card in three different xPAPs, one right after the other. A Resmed S8 Elite, a Resmed S8 AutoSet Vantage and a Resmed VPAP Auto. Same card.
