blueTooth

jules · Post by **jules** » Sun Dec 20, 2015 12:05 pm

if I were to get a machine with this, can I turn this crap off? I have no desire to ever use a smart phone and don't like anything broadcasting in the house -

in other words, is this a constant all night signal or just a once in a blue moon signal you have to ask for from the cpap to the smart phone?

What?

If you're referring to a specific model of a specific machine, we can probably help a lot better if we know which one you have. Not a techie here, but even just as a person, I can't tell what you're griping about - a phone, bluetooth (in relation to what?), a Cpap machine?

I am looking at PR1 Auto ----

I know nothing about blue tooth except it is wireless communication - i have it turned off on the computers - the cards disabled

we don't do smart phones - we don't do wifi -- I won't have that stuff in the house

if I were to get this apap, can this bluetooth be permanently disabled so no wireless signal is ever sent out from the apap?

Near as I can tell it is a separate module that must be attached to the blower unit for it to work.
I would assume that all a person would need to do is simply not attach it or remove it if it is already attached.

appears built in was an added feature ------- see http://www.thecpapshop.com/pr-system-on ... -bluetooth

On CPAP.com specs page at the bottom it states how it ships machines and it lists Bluetooth: Off, so I assume you can turn on and off.

Thank you OkyDoky

I had missed that

I chatted with another vendor and they said you have to turn it on on the Dream Machine. I know with the computer I had to turn it off (disable it).

I just need to know that I can have this permanently off.

Bluetooth has a very limited range, just a few feet.
What is the concern?

jules · Post by **jules** » Mon Dec 21, 2015 11:16 am

few feet is still an issue - I don't want something broadcasting by my head - I am very EMF sensitive

Then you better wrap you Cpap in tinfoil ... I believe it puts out more EMF that the blue tooth.
And certainly do not use a telephone or a hair dryer

Some insurance uses Bluetooth to see if you are compliant.

I think you are referring to wireless phone service.... not bluetooth

I buy OOP - I don't use insurance for cpap supplies. If I was using insurance I would ask these questions to the DME I was using.

They use celluar communications. Bluetooth is close range from one device to another.
