I'll bet that manual is more garded by Respronics than the clinical manual. If it has all the technicial information on C-flex etc. your chances of getting your hands on one is nill.

You could like it so much, and buy the company. They have the manuel, test equiptment, tools and parts.

Good thing it's somethine useless like the ramp. anything worthwhile has to be sent into the factory through the DME. You might be able to get the button board, at a online cpap dealer, I saw that somewhere online, but that's doubtful. Jim

How do you KNOW it's not working? Have you gone into the setup and checked to see if it's turned off?
Most users forego using the Ramp shortly after they start therapy (if they even use it at all). It's kind of like training wheels on bicycles.

You said "Pro"......here's the instructions for the "Pro 2" (Legacy / Pre M model) .....basically the same except the plain Pro didn't record nightly data.

I"ve highlighted sections "E" and "F" as they relate to the Ramp settings.
I went through MY Pro 2 and my Ramp time (E) is set to 0.00.....essentially turning it off and by doing so, the Ramp Pressure setting (F) doesn't even appear. I could press the Ramp button tell Hell freezes over and it wouldn't go into Ramp......which is the way I WANT it.

REMstar Pro 2 Setup

When in the Setup Menu, the humidifier ^ and ramp v buttons operate as up and down keys to change the settings, the left/right user buttons < > allow you to go to the previous/next question or setting, and the pressure start/stop button is used to exit the Setup Menu. Holding the humidifier or ramp buttons down will cause the values to change more quickly.

To enter the Therapy Setup Menu, hold the two top user buttons < > down while plugging in the power cord.
Continue holding the buttons down until the REMstar Pro 2 with C-Flex beeps twice.

Note: The word "setup" will appear on all of the screens indicating that you are in the Therapy Setup Menu.
If you press the Pressure start/stop button, you will exit the Setup Menu.

Select next setting with >

b. Therapy mode: (CPAP or CFLE) select with ^ or v
