This morning when I was getting up my hubby said that my machine was beeping but i didn't hear it. I was out of water but would the machine beep for that?

Machine can beep for many reasons, one is the Mask off alert, it will sound if you mouth breathe when using a nasal only mask, or if using a full face mask it may sound if you develop a large leak.

I also learned (the hard way) that your machine will beep if your data card is inserted incorrectly, is dirty or corrupted. (Mine was dirty and the machine started beeping in the middle of the night).

How do you clean the card?

Mine did this last night. When I went to bed I put the card in and checked the display and the card indicator was correct. When I got up for a potty break at 5:30 I cut the machine off and it went to beeping and flashing those baby blues. I pulled out the card and reinserted it and it quit beeping and flashing. Of course I got no data for most of the night. Cleaned the card this morning. The Instructions for cleaning the card is to rub the gold area with a non abrasive eraser (one of the white rubber ones) then wipe with an alcohol on a cloth.

Must be "something in the air" lately......mine did that two nights ago, too. Naturally, it waits till you're just about asleep (about 10 minutes) before it starts beeping. Pulled the card out and put it back in and things were fine.

Halloween spooks?

My guess it is related to Daylight Savings time adjustment for US machines, but the machine doesn't know it is this Sunday not last.

With the time "leakage", they don't know what time it is ANYWAY!
(the machine that did it to me the other night is 3 minutes shy of being an hour slow)
