Anyone here know how to change pressure on a Respironics Virtuoso LX CPAP?

Thanks,

I need to travel tomorrow, and I DO NOT want to carry-on my brand new shiny auto-pap machine. I still have my old clunker, but the pressure is set too high. I contacted an RT that I know, and she emailed me a procedure involving the start+20min keys and using the 5min and 10min for up and down. The problem is, how do you know the pressure? there is no display. I suppose you have to count the increments?

Anyone know the answer?

Thanks in advance.

If there is no pressure display of any kind, then the RT would have to make those pressure adjustments with a manometer hooked up to the machine.
