Yup. Go up to the Red Lightbulb at the top of the main forum screen labeled "CPAP FAQ." Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list and click on "XPAP Manuals". You'll find your manual there.

I don't know why not......that's also my machine of choice.

You didn't say what your existing pressure is or how long the Ramp is set to (if you're using it). A Ramp setting that starts too low or is set for too long of a period can cause that feeling.

You might also want to fill out your profile and give us more details on whatever else you can.

Welcome to the forum.

REMstar Pro 2 Setup

When in the Setup Menu, the humidifier ^ and ramp v buttons operate as up and down keys to change the settings, the left/right user buttons < > allow you to go to the previous/next question or setting, and the pressure start/stop button is used to exit the Setup Menu. Holding the humidifier or ramp buttons down will cause the values to change more quickly.

To enter the Therapy Setup Menu, hold the two top user buttons < > down while plugging in the power cord.
Continue holding the buttons down until the REMstar Pro 2 with C-Flex beeps twice. (about 5 seconds)

Note: The word "setup" will appear on all of the screens indicating that you are in the Therapy Setup Menu.
If you press the Pressure start/stop button, you will exit the Setup Menu.

a. Compliance hours: (recommend leaving alone)
Select next setting with >

b. Therapy mode: (CPAP or CFLE) select with ^ or v
Select next setting with >

c. CPAP pressure setting: Select with ^ or v
Select next setting with >

d. C-Flex mode (if you chose CFLE mode): Select setting 1, 2 or 3 with ^
Select next setting with >

e: Ramp time setting: Select with ^ or v
(ramp time will be turned off with a setting of 0)
Select next setting with >

f. Ramp pressure setting: Select with ^ or v
Select next setting with >

g. Patient disconnect setting: 1 = on 0 = off Select with ^ or v
Select next setting with >

h. Buttons lights setting: 1 = on 0 = off Select with ^ or v
(Last setting. Use On/Off button to exit Setup)

I'm a newbie myself, and had this same problem! After 3 new machines I thought were defective? and recently messing with the pressure, to no avail, I got an idea to turn off the C-Flex function, and It Worked For Me! and I'm back at my starting pressure! It's been a full week now of restful sleep! i have a theory about why this works, but no time to describe it right now. Give this a try.
