Sorry I can't help you with this, but I'm surprised someone knowledgeable here hasn't jumped in.

Whatever you do, DON'T HOLD DOWN THE DOWN AND RIGHT KEYS FOR A FEW SECONDS!!!!

Leave the settings to professionals who know better than we do what's good for us.

I have the S8 Compact and, unless yours has lots more "bells and whistles" than mine does, you'd have to have the DME reset the pressure for you. Mine is so basic (aka: primitive) that you can barely change the ramp time and duration. Even if I could change it myself, I'm not sure that I would trust my limited knowledge. If it's not a burden, I'd strongly suggest having it done professionally.

When you read it, blink when you come to the word "DON'T". And stick your tongue firmly in your cheek when you come to the sentence beginning with, "Leave the settings to professionals....etc."
