resetting clock on s-10,a-10 res med

[roadkingrick]

so I work nights and the s-10 starts the day over at 10 am, if I sleep past 10, say 10:15 it tells me I have slept 15 mins for the night, I know this can be changed to accommodate a night worker but the nimrods at res med tell me to call my provider, she doesn't know, tells me to call res med, and so it goes, its not top secret or has anything whatsoever to do with you prescription but they need to justify their existence instead of helping a customer, irritates the crap out of me when they put me in the feedback loop, especially over such a stupid deal, so far I returned one machine already because it wouldn't ever stop blowing, now this one boils the water out of humidifier and I wake up with the smell of a dry hot plate and its searing hot. Ive turned the humidity level down to its lowest level and only then does the water, filled to max last thru a night. Forget the auto settings. So far not happy with the service and follow up at all. Res med told me it might be a room humidity sensor.Butt regardless of the final results with the machine I still need to set the machine to re start the clock later in the AM. sorry for venting, anyone know how to reset the clock?

So you have one of the new AirSense 10 model machines?
There is no S10...there's a S9 though.

I assume you have the AirSense 10...how to change the clock should be easy and explained in the provider manual...page 15 I think.

If you mean a S9...should be a similar process but I don't know which page in that manual

The clock was set incorrectly by the DME On my Airsense 10. I was able to reset it with no problem. However you cannot turn the clock back, so what do you when you change to Standard Time from Daylight Savings time? I realize that for most people it doesn't make a difference when when the cpap starts a new day in regard to data but just asking.

Usually if you wait until the evening to change the time back (when doing the change in the fall) the machine should allow the change backwards......that's assuming the machine hasn't been used at all since the new day started at noon. If there is any data use recorded after 12 noon on the day of the anticipated change the machine won't let you go backwards...it only allows for going forward.

Personally...one hour either way isn't that big of a deal to me and I just leave it in Daylight Savings time year round.

If it is important to a person....wait until right before bed to make the change and do it only if the machine hasn't been on at all since noon and do it before masking up or even touching the on button.

ResMed has always allowed going backwards as long as there's no data on that date yet.
Don't ever try to change the clock before 12 noon though....forwards or backwards.

I don't know why this line just tickles me.

It's like the set up for a good book ~~~

...that ominous warning
A story line that has resonated since "Don't eat the fruit from THAT tree".


You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. Nor shall you ever try to change the cpap clock before 12 noon though....forwards or backwards

I don't know why this line just tickles me.

Normally I try to take the time to explain things and not go the "do as I say" route but in this situation after being here as long as I have and seen hundreds of screw ups done in the name of Daylight Savings time and the grief and annoyances people go through...not to mention us having to answer the same old questions every spring and fall...in this situation I just don't have the time or patience or inclination to explain in detail...just trust me on this one.

Plus when we go changing the clock sometimes we accidentally change the calendar as well and that creates a whole new set of problems (been there done that myself) and it's just not worth it.
Nobody cares what time you go to bed or get up or whether the times are accurate or not....if anyone cares anything at all they only care for how many hours the machine gets used in a 24 hour period.

My DME set my clock midway between DST and MST, per my request.
I reset it to standard time a year later, so I could sleep in a bit if we had a late night.

You CAN turn the clock back, you just can't turn it back past the last time you turned it off. If it's 11 AM and the machine thinks it's noon when you turned it off, you can't set the clock back before noon. However, if you just wait until it's actually 12:01 PM, you can then set the clock back to the correct time.

Or, to look at it another way, if your turn the machine off and wait for 1 hour, you can then set it back one hour. For most people, just turn it off in the morning and wait until the evening before bed to reset the clock, and you'll be able to move it back 16 hours.

You CAN set it back as far as you want, but you'll have to delete your existing data from the CPAP machine.
