M-Series Auto Start
M-Series Auto Start
Sometimes it starts after I put my mask on but most times it doesn't despite a couple of deep breaths to try to wake it up. Anyone else have the same experience or know how to get it to start consistently?
Thanks,

Try BLOWING into the mask 2 or 3 times.....and possibly holding a finger over the exhaust vent holes.

Never could get my machines to reliably auto-start with a full-face mask. Seems to be a common problem with Respironics machines - just not sensitive enough to reliably work with full-face masks. The power button always worked good though.
Only problem auto-starting since I switched to nasal masks is that I wish the auto-start could be turned OFF. I'd rather turn the machine ON manually. Too many times I've reached to turn the machine on just as the auto-start kicked in, and I inadvertently ended up turning the machine OFF instead. I finally just resigned myself to letting the auto-start take control.

probably the mask you are using or if you are using an extended hose is causing the problem.
there is no way to enable/disable the autostart feature in setup (or at least I haven't seen a documented way of disabling it).
It is supposed to start up within 4 breaths. When I put on my Soyala, it starts before I can connect the lower right strap.

I had a problem getting my M-Series APAP to autostart, and that is without a full face mask. Then the problem just went away mysteriously. Now it autostarts after just two or three breaths. But I think the thing I'm doing differently is that I'm breathing out hard into the mask with my first couple of breaths. I'm guessing that this is triggering the autostart.
The path to Awakening lies through sleep.
My remstar auto 'tank' auto starts when I wear the CL2 but not when I use the hybrid.

Nyah, nyah. My Resmed S8 Elite's auto start works just fine. Starts every time I put my mask on. Even when I forget and push the Off button to turn my Elite off before removing my mask.
