Old Skul Remstar plus - pressure adjustment

Remstar plus here with only 3 buttons (pre flex I assume).
Anyway, I bought a barely used unit as a backup and for traveling. I need to adjust the previous owner's 9 cm to my 10.5cm.
I tried the plug in while holding the ramp and humid buttons. I get no beep to get into the clinician mode. I can change the ramp and humid temp by holding down their respective buttons until the dispaly flashes. I can also change the alitutde setting
It appears there's another "secret code" to get to the pressure adjustment. Anyone know what it might be?

Well..I don't see an edit button (first time here).
I found the "secret code". Hold all 3 buttons down while plugging in. That will unlock the various clinician features. Otherwise it works as described above (up, down, scroll/accept)

Weird...both my machines require all 3 buttons pressed while plugging in in order to unlock the settings.

You might read this thread to see if it applies to your machine.

Thank You Linda I appreciate your help ...unfortunately that must work for a different model Polaris then mine. I tried that and had no results but I do thank you!

You can be trusted with a full bottle of tablets sitting on your nightstand, which, if all taken at once might kill you. You can be trusted to learn how to administer insulin to yourself, which done wrong could kill you. But the medical world has deemed that you aren't capable of looking at the settings on a glorified leaf blower. After all, just like a small child, you can't be trusted not to "tamper" with the settings!! But the DME who fits you with an unsuitable mask is trusted with the keys.
Priceless!

My doctor showed me how to change the pressure on my CPAP (though I already knew from reading posts here). I was having trouble with my low pressure - feeling of suffocation - and he thought I could try raising it a bit to see if that helped.
He's a cool doc, though... Whenever he gets new equipment, he'll try sleeping with it at home to get a feel for what his patients will have to go through (he doesn't have apnea himself.) I couldn't imagine voluntarily using CPAP...

[quote="cyal8r"]If anyone knows how to change the pressure on an Fisher & Paykel HC234 I'd greatly appreciate knowing how its done. Despite the argument of the pressure being a "prescription" I don't see any difference in my taking the unit into the clinic to have them change it - if they'll do it without a doctors prescription, and doing it myself. After over a year, I'm finally getting used to sleeping with the lousy mask on, and found myself getting a much deeper sleep. But lately I'm finding I'm waking myself up snoring. I'm a terribly light sleeper, and want to avoid going back into the sleep clinic - where you get anything BUT sleep.
