Philips Dreamstation difficult to turn off

Newbie to CPAP and this forum here. I just received and started using my Philips Dreamstation CPAP last Tuesday. My husband has been using the Philips Dreamstation BIPAP for about a year now.

My problem is that I have to push and hold the power button for at least 30 seconds to a minute before the machine will shut off. Whereas my husband’s it’s only a couple of seconds before it will shut off. Is this normal?

No. Take it back for a replacement under warranty.

Consider yourself fortunate, most husbands don't come with a power button.

Warning, turning husband off while at home may result in him turning on when not at home. Jim

Thanks for all of the prompt (and very needed witty) replies! Come to find out, newbie user error. I admit. I was pushing the bottom "incorrectly". Like I said, I am a newbie. Thanks again everyone!
