How do I turn off the ramp for my Philips DreamStation Auto CPAP?

I sometimes feel like I am sufforcating at first. I need more air. How do I turn off the ramp, which is set at 4.0? When I press the dial, it says "locked" for that option. I have a Philips DreamStation Auto CPAP HUMDOM.

Here is a resource to acquire the clinician manual:

I don't think that the ramp should be locked (or even lockable) feature. I'm not sure why they made it lockable.

The ramp is really of no therapeutic value, it's merely a comfort feature. It's good for many (not all) newbies who are unaccustomed to the pressure.

Question Asked, Answered, and Fixed, But thanks for thinking anyway, at least what you posted this time wasn't incorrect.

Was that necessary?

I would ask a different question.

Question: Will it be effective?

Answer: Unlikely. D.H. has been called out hundreds of times for posting incorrect information, but nothing has stopped him yet.

Because *NOBODY* cares what you think.

I saw this thread earlier but I do not understand how to turn the ramp off, even though I have the provider manual, so in fact I started a new topic but my message has not yet been approved - I just wanted to make it clear that I did find this topic before I posted.
