screen time out

respironics dream maker.

is there anyway to shorten the screen time out when one removes the mask?
the long light is rather annoying in the dark for a pee.

Don't have that machine but routinely keep a small card over my screen until I want to see it, then just move it aside.

I've never seen a post relating to shortening the display time on the LCD/LED before... therefore I'd have to say toss a thin dishtowel over your machine or use a post-it etc - like the previous post recommended.

Some people have used a piece of red gelatin or acetate film (sold at art supply stores) to make the light shift all the way to the red end of the light spectrum. This is supposed to be less disturbing while drifting off to sleep. I've got that over a music unit display next to my bed that is overly bright and large, it seems to work for my application.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.
