HELP!!!!!!

I've been completely exhausted for so long and still 6 weeks until my sleep study. So it really made sense to try and increase the pressure. Pushing the buttons kind of made a mess. So I've gone from 10 and now the pressure adjusted itself to 20. How do I change the numbers?

Thanks!

If you have the machine that's in your profile, these instructions should help you walk through the changes.

REMstar Plus CPAP w/C-Flex

1. With the machine plugged into a wall outlet, unplug the cord from the back of the CPAP. Then, press and hold down the two user buttons < > below the display screen while plugging the cord back into the CPAP, and continue to hold the buttons down until the CPAP beeps. This will indicate that the CPAP is in the Therapy Setup Menu.

2. The display will first show the number of hours the machine has been used. To erase this total and begin again at zero, press and hold the ramp or humidifier button. An “X” will appear on the display. Hold the button down until the time change to “0” and the “X” disappears.

Thanks Wulfman gonna start working through this now the pressure 1.6.

WOW, Eureka. You're good, it was perfect exactly as you wrote it. I can't thank you enough. I put my pressure on 13.

No problem.
Over the years, I've posted many instructions for various machines on the forum.
I also have a pretty extensive library of manuals in .pdf format.
You might want to copy and save them to a file on your computer for future references.
Good luck with your therapy.
