Haven't gotten my M-series yet so haven't had to experience the blue lights.

I did have a similar issue with a surge suppressor I installed in the RV. It had a bright red LED read out that flashed between voltage in, current draw, and suppressor status. This looked cool during the day but discovered it was not so cool having a bright flashing display within five feet of your face at night! My fix was to make a black flap out of electical tape..folding the tape back on itself so only a small part remained sticky to hang it by. The tape flap blocks all of the display light but could be lifted up to check status when needed.

You guys are killin' me! But really... I had the code that got me into the setup data but now I can't find it. I thought for sure that one of the options was light ON/OFF but if you're telling me that noone has defeated it yet, I must be mistaken.

I still would like to have the access code if anyone knows it.

I like the blue lights!!

Of course, my machine is on my headboard so I don't have them blinding me.

Let's see, I've got a red light on the base of the phone system, a green light on the phone, blue lights on the CPAP, and a lime green light on the humidifier.
I come to bed enjoying the "Christmas" display, close my eyes and put on the eyeshade.
No problem.
And now that I'm sleeping, I don't even (too much) mind the blazing "security" lights from the house next door.

you canNOT disable the button LED's on the M series machines via programming.
someday science will catch up to what I'm saying...
