UPDATING FIRMWARE - DREAMSTATION AUTO

Post by bajeiceman » Sun Jun 09, 2019 10:30 pm

Hi,

I just checked the firmware version of my cpap (Dreamstation auto) and found that it is Ver 1.1.2. The latest firmware version is 1.1.8 from what I can tell.

Has anyone updated their machine to this latest version and if so, what has the experience been like?

What is the general recommendation about performing these firmware updates?

Baje.

I'd wait until ver 1.3 comes out, it's supposed to turn the screen into a 23 inch H.D. screen and Sat Dish. My recommendation use your machine as is, find something cheaper to play with. :roll: Jim

Odd's are they played with it a little, does that make it better, a big company probably makes a fair product to begin with, if not I wouldn't give them my money in the first place. If it works count your blessings, My 3 machines are 14 years old and still do the job they were made for, I'm not going to play with mine I've got computers to play with and I can fix them too. Jim
