ResMed S9 Date and Time

I'm having trouble changing my date and time. I went out west and set the clock back 2 hrs. Now that I am home, the time changed ok (2 hrs ahead) but the date is reading Oct. 16 and I change it to Oct. 15 but it won't stay on that...just keeps reverting to Oct. 16. Any help would be appreciated!!

Re: Swift FX for Her Leaks

Thank you so much for your replies! I did put the velcro tape on the back, have loosened the straps and the velcro back is on top of my hair...I notice looking back to when I first started that my leaks were very low with it, which made me love it! When the leaks go up into the high 30's, I know it'...

Swift FX for Her Leaks

I started out last August with the Swift FX for Her, trying the various sizes of pillows. Really liked it but even after using Large pillows, I'm having so many leaks. Since my insurance pays for a new mask every 6 months, I'm trying the Mirage Soft Gel and am getting 0 leaks!!! The other numbers ar...

Re: Help interpreting 1st numbers

I would try taping my mouth to see if that makes a difference.

Re: Diagnosed with sleep apnea and confused ?

Beyond Tired, I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and have been on APAP since August 2010...I am blessed to have adapted to CPAP like a duck to water...5 1/2 hours the first night, which I was pleased with. I was so tired during the day, always napping when I could, getting up twice during the nig...

Re: Does anyone use Pur Sleep?

Bert_Matthews Thanks for your suggestion. I sent him an email last night and received a reply this morning...he is going to send me an aluminum diffuser which should have been included in the original starter kit. He said the cardboard ones were included just for travel...so now I will be a happy ca...

Re: Swift FX

tlu4154 Please persevere with the Swift FX...it takes time for many people to adjust. When I inflate the pillows I can feel a blast of air...but the funny thing is when I put them against my nares...I don't feel a thing! You do get used to it...keep at it. I have a pressure of 8-15 and it varies dur...

Re: First Nite w/ S9 but Exhale Sound... Normal?

By all means try to exchange the Escape for the Elite...I know you won't be sorry. It is vital to have your information available to see how you are doing. There is no way I could get up in the morning and not look at the info for the previous night...exchange it while you can!

Thanks for your suggestion...I sent a note off tonight. It sounds like they used to have much better holders for the pads...the cardboard is not great IMHO.

Re: Does anyone use Pur Sleep?

I use the Pur-Sleep essential oils and am so disappointed in the holder. It has gotten wet and smeared like crazy - don't know why it can't be made of a sturdy substance. I find the the smells are not too strong...hardly notice them when breathing.

Re: Encore software question?

Your software is likely a Windows program. I have a Mac and have installed Parallels and then installed Windows in Parallels. My CPAP software works just fine in the Windows
