PR SystemOne LED Screen Question/Problem

[Slinky]

I "do" like this PR SystemOne BPAP Auto w/Bi-Flex - but - I'll be darned if I can turn the LCD screen backlight on!

My SetUp Screen appears as follows

Back
Mode
Max IPAP
Min EPAP
Max Periodic Breathing
IPAP
EPAP
Flex
Bi-Flex
Rise Time
Bi-Flex lock
Rise Time lock
S1 Resistance
Lock S1
Ramp Time
Ramp Start
Humidifier

Auto Off
Mask Alert
Humidifier LED backlight (this offers blacklight but works for the humidifier buttons only)

Back

Any idea what I am doing wrong at the Humidifier LED backlight option or is my PR S1 "defective" for this option? I notice I'm not the only one who has had this problem but I've not seen a solution offered. Maybe I missed it?

I don't know if you can backlight the screen. That would be sweet if you could. Maybe it's time to phone a techy.

The LCD screen does not have a back light. One of my complaints about the PR1. I have to use a small LED flashlight to see the display.
You can control the white lighted number and ramp indicators from on to off with if the few seconds that they light up when you adjust the numbers that the light stays lighted for bothers you.

From the Providers Manual:

"LED backlight - You can enable or disable the LED backlight for the humidifier icon and settings on the device."

Duh!

What were they thinking?? I'm beginning to think PR hates us end-users and only includes access to data via the LED screen to stay somewhere near Resmed in that respect.

They make a GREAT device that provides GREAT therapy - and then they screw up lighting and data access. *sigh*
