How do I obtain a card reader? provider manual?

[ofarchesandants]

OK now that i am getting the big 2 hours of use of my cpap each night, it's time to start getting a better understanding of my numbers and not just the ones on the machine display. Where does one go to find a device to download or veiw the data from my respironics REMstar Auto M series with cflex.

Also the other day someone sent me a link to the provider quick setup card for my machine. I greatly appreciate that but i wonder, is there a source for more in depth info, like a full provider manual or?
thanks,

You need to have software (Encore Viewer) and a card reader. A package is available to purchase online from cpap.com.

You'll need to be getting at least 4 hours use a night, even with the software and reader to get any data though.

You can buy the package anytime but you need to work on using the machine longer each night.

Yes you are showing the wrong machine, you have the "M"eries, your profile is showing the "Classic Tank" no longer sold. check your P.M.

I don't have a manuel but:
=============Resetting LCD Display Data====Remstar "M"===============

To reset LCD Therapy data (does NOT erase any data from SmartCard):

1. Hold down the (<-) (->) buttons while plugging in the power on the back,
wait for 2 beeps or 5 seconds, release buttons.
2. Press the (->) key and navigate to Therapy screen.
3. Press and HOLD down the (-) minus key for 5 seconds and/or until therapy data is reset to Zero.
4. Press the (->) key to scroll back to main menu, press (+) key to enter Setup or
On/Off button to exit.

thanks jim i new how to get to the provider screen but didn't know about the reset feature. that will make thing much easier. and just to confirm, resetting only sets my counters to 0 but does not erase data. Is that correct?
thanks again,

It resets the data to new on the machine, not the smartcard.
