Hi Greg... If I were you, I'd remove my email from the post. You might be spammed with that out there.... Now, you can get the clinician's manual for your machine at http://www.apneaboard.com/CPAP%20Adjustment.htm Read the page, scroll down and you'll see the ICON listed.... your manual is large so you need to ask the site admin to email it to you. They provide this service for free, but donations are welcome.

Good luck!
Yes, that blue eyed beauty is my cat! He is a seal point, bi-color Ragdoll. I adopted him in '08 from folks who could no longer care for him. He is a joy and makes me smile each and every day.

To access the setup menu: Make sure the smart dial is in the default position (where the machine would start if pressed once). Hold down the smart dial button with your thumb while simultaneously using your other hand to rotate the dial 360 degrees clockwise until you are back in the default position. Don't release the middle button yet. Rotate the dial one pitch counterclockwise, release the middle button and you will be in the setup menu with all the options in the top left quarter of the screen.

Once you are in the setup menu, you should be able to figure out how to change the pressure, if not let us know.

So now I can have an argument with the DME if they wont let me have the software. The reason behind not allowing it is because they are afraid I will change my pressure myself. I can tell them that since I know how to do it myself ON the machine, what is the worry? LOL I followed the instructions and wham, it was easy...although I did not change the pressure. I just tried the instructions above and it worked.
