Unplugged APAP.. Will it lose Settings?
Does an APAP machine lose its settings if unplugged?

If that were the case, you would have to redo the settings every time you checked in or out of a hotel!

Its not quite as silly as some make it out to be - if you pull the plug while the pump is still pumping, you'll loose the data from the last session. I unplug every morning on the boat, so I wait about 10 seconds after turning off the pump to make sure the data got recorded.

So if the lights flicker, or somebody trips over the plug, you loose your data?CapnLoki wrote: ↑Sat Jun 30, 2018 6:07 pmIts not quite as silly as some make it out to be - if you pull the plug while the pump is still pumping, you'll loose the data from the last session.

It will depend on the machine and the exact circumstances, but I have lost data.D.H. wrote: ↑Sat Jun 30, 2018 8:08 pmSo if the lights flicker, or somebody trips over the plug, you loose your data?CapnLoki wrote: ↑Sat Jun 30, 2018 6:07 pmIts not quite as silly as some make it out to be - if you pull the plug while the pump is still pumping, you'll loose the data from the last session.

You mean there was loose data all around the room?
I misunderstood and thought you could lose data.

No, data is lighter than air, it just floats up, up, and away. That's how it gets up to the clouds.

Isn't it amazing? All that was required was a one word answer which was given in the next post. Someone always needs to make it more complicated.
