Did you get an alarm and an error code? My Remstar gave me a code that basically says the main board is going out.

Maybe you need these instructions to turn OFF the "Auto Off".

Den


Hold down the <- -> buttons while plugging in the little power cord in the back, wait for 2 beeps release buttons. Then press the + key to enter setup mode, use the <- -> buttons to move to the next field, use the -/+ keys to decrease/increase values, when set press the On/Off button to exit Setup.

Therapy Mode = CPAP
CPAP Pressure = NN (only appears in CPAP mode).
C-Flex Setting = Off, 1, 2 or 3
Ramp Time = (0:05 to 0:45)
Ramp Start Pressure = 4.0cm (can be from 4cm to AutoMin pressure).
Mask Alert = On/Off (beeps on large leak, mask removal).
Auto Off = Off (turns off machine on large leak/mask removal) Suggest leaving it "Off"
Show AHI/Leak = On (enables logging to display) Suggest leaving it "On"
Patient Reminder = Off (days to remind you that you get a new mask w/Insurance).
returns to Therapy Mode =




==========Resetting LCD Display Data====================

It's been reported by a few others that the power "brick" may be the problem. Report the problem to your DME supplier and see if they can get you a different one. Also, make sure your machine is plugged into a surge protector strip......not just an outlet strip, but a "surge protector".....or, a UPS. And, try a different outlet, if you haven't already.
