S8 VPAP Auto Setup Question

[BigEd]

I just ordered a Resmed S8 VPAP Auto from my DME and should receive it later this week. Rather than go through the dance with my DME, can anyone tell me how to enter setup/programming mode? I like to have access to this area - even if I never need to make a change. If anyone has a copy of the clinician's manual - that would be incredibly helpful. Thanks so much.

Hello Big Ed -

"Okay, back to ....accessing your data: have a pen and pencil handy. The first time thru BE SURE to write down what appears on each screen. That way if you accidentally, or even intentionally, change any of your settings you will KNOW what to set them back to.

Press the Right and Down buttons and hold for 3-4 seconds. Clinical Menu Welcome will appear. Press the Down button. Cincial Menu will appear. Press the Left button to Enter. Then it is a matter of Left button to Enter, Right button to Exit, Up button to return to the previous screen, Down button to proceed to the next screen. DO NOT DO ANYTHING IN "ERASE DATA" except proceed or Exit. You want the Smart Data turned ON.

Exit to the main screen. In the main (starting) screen, Press the Left and Right buttons and hold for 3-4 seconds. Efficacy Data will appear. Press the Left button to enter and things are all pretty self-explanatory from there. No need to worry in these Efficacy and Usage menus, you can NOT change your therapy setting accidentally or intentionally from this menu."

Go ahead, AuntieNae, blame it all on me!

Thanks AuntieNae . . . (and Slinky too).

BigEd,

Auntie Nae and Slinky (yes, it's her fault!) have got you started, but if you send me your e-mail address via PM, I can e-mail you a PDF of the full Clinician's Guide. (I won't say whose to blame for that, though!)

Welcome to the forum, by the way!

Not to "take over" this thread but since I see there is another Wisconsin person who posted ..
OKAY, ENOUGH with this SNOW already!!
It is really coming down in the Milwaukee area now.

Thanks DSM. That's one of the things I like most about this site - everyone is so helpful.
