Re: Which free software would be best to use?

It will work just fine. There is not 64-bit version of SleepyHead, and 64-bit machines can run 32-bit software. BTW, if you're ever trying to locate the folder containing the SleepyHead software it will be in C:\Program Files(x86), where 32-bit programs are typically located. 64-bit programs are us...

Oops...I just noticed that it appears to be for 32-bit and I have Win7 64-bit. Will that still work?

Which free software would be best to use?

I started with my machine mid-March of this year so I am fairly new to the sleep apnea world. I have the PR REMstar Auto A-Flex Model DS560S. My doctor recently changed me over from CPAP to Auto with a pressure range of of 5-20. I've uploaded my data to SleepMapper.com, but it only shows general thi...

Re: Backpacking & tent camping

I'm going to spend the next few weeks getting comfortable using my machine. But when I am ready to make a decision which way to go for a battery backup, I now have tons of info available to me. Thanks so much everyone for all of the great help.

Re: Backpacking & tent camping

Deep cycle is definitely out of the picture so now onward and upward. I'm not sure if the one shown here is a Li-on or not, but I'm assuming so since it would appear from your post that there are only the 2 choices..deep cycle 12V DC or a Li-on. http://www.watdasi.com/images/products/detail/9161700...

Re: Backpacking & tent camping

Using a deep cycle isn't an option though for a couple of reasons. One is that I wouldn't feel comfortable having a regular battery like that in my bedroom in case I were to need it and the other is that both my husband and myself are limited to the amount of weight that we're allowed to pick up an...

Re: Backpacking & tent camping

Depending on how close to your house you park your MH when at home you might be able to just use it for your backup power. Backup power supplies have been discussed here quite a bit the past couple of years so you may want to peruse some of those threads. Just search for backup. There is no question...

Re: Backpacking & tent camping

Did you have to order a separate 12V DC cable specifically designed for use with the 560S such as the one mentioned by here by archangel? Greetings Dee! I did not need to order a separate cable. It -does- require a different power plug tip that the fine folks at BestCPAPPrice threw in for free. Aft...

Re: Backpacking & tent camping

Hmmm....guess I hadn't considered running the machine by using the motorhome's inverter for when we don't have shore power. Good thought! However, I would still like to have a backup power unit to use at home in case of power outages. Dee in FL Anyhow....we hope to be able to have everything in hand...

Re: Backpacking & tent camping

John, it appears that you have the same machine that I have (PR DS560S with the heated humidifier). I picked mine up on Thursday, but haven't been able to use it yet since they had to order my mask. I should receive it via UPS drop shipment Monday. Anyhow....we hope to be able to have everything in ...

Battery backup??

I'd like to find a small size (preferably less than 15#s) battery backup to use with a Respironics REMstar Auto A-Flex model # DS560S. Does anyone have a recommendation for one? I was leaning towards the one seen here <http://www.cpaptravelbatterypack.com/respironics-remstar-auto-cpap-battery-pack.h...

Re: Good accessories to have???

Tie a fishing weight to the other end of the string and drop that end through the tubing. Thanks for the idea of using a cleaning rag and string/fishing weight combo. I'm going to cut a strip off of the length of a fairly heavy terry-cloth towel and serge the edges. I can make it as long as I want ...
