How to change the local time setting Respironics M5 Auto?

Post by feeling_better » Sun Dec 14, 2014 12:05 am

I am using my older machine while on travel. How do I change the local time? Right now it devides the night session into two different days, since I am off by about 12 hours.

I know I can get into the general settings menu by holding left right arrow keys when power is applied.

You can't change the time setting on the Respironics CPAP machines. Only the service centers can do this. It requires a special cable and software that isn't easily available to the general public.

You may be able to get Encore to change the time zone it uses.

pr machines are set at the factory to GMT, the software used to read them converts the GMT into local time, so you need to tell encore you're in a different time zone, as arch said.
