I cannot change anything on this machine nothing.

I have to have a stupid card for everthing.

How much are these *%#$ readers?

Will insurance companies pay for them?
I have yet to read of an insurance company paying for the card readers, much less the software that the cable readers download to.

Actually, the Resmeds provide MORE information via the LCD screen than any other brand's fully data capable models - w/POSSIBLY the except of the absolutley new DeVilBiss IntelliPAP Info and AutoAdjust, the Covidien Sandman Auto and a new Fisher & Paykel I'm not sure of the name of. Resmed has led the field in the ease of access and amount of data available via the LCD screen. Obviously you've not read much about the Resmed S8 Elite II w/EPR before receiving one.

The forum is full, many times over, of instructions for accessing the data via the LCD and what to do if you can't.

I tried holding down both keys and I could not change pressure nothing.
You need to take a deep breath and READ what the cover of your Users Manual says or even what is printed on the top of your Resmed! Temper tantrums aren't going to get you anywhere except to possibly foul up your therapy.

I don't know? I had a bit of a tantrum myself here not too long ago (and I even have the same machine she does!). Didn't really do much good, but I sure "felt" better!
