Problem setting Remstar Series M

[old_man]

I picked up a used Remstar Series M model 1022334 for use on the road. I can't seem to get it programmed.

I have read all the info and watched the videos but they all are for the unit with the three buttons on the top. Mine has only two control buttons visible when the top is closed. When I perform the power up with the arrows held down, it does not go into the programming mode.

Does anybody have any info on the magic incantation required for this unit.

Have you been here and to the proper manual for whichever M series machine you have?
There's some quick guides and full manuals.

Holding down the 2 arrow buttons at the same time while plugging the little plug into the back of the machine should work. I did it often with my M series machine and I think that little step should work with all the M series machines.

According to the service manual for the M Series machines, that "model number" you referenced is the humidifier model number.
You need to open the lid and press the two (top) opposing arrow buttons down (on either side of the LCD screen) while you plug it in and wait for two beeps.
