Your reasoning is ridiculous. (as are most of your posts apprising us of your mundane adventures in PAP machine procurement & therapy)

Your reasoning is ridiculous. (as are most of your posts apprising us of your mundane adventures in PAP machine procurement & therapy)

Actually your ridiculous.

If you read the whole thread, someone wanted a review on the machines noise levels.

So, instead of just going straight to sleep, I had to test the machine for a good 30 to 45 minutes in different pressures so I can post a brief feedback on the noise levels, if any, including their relation to high and low pressure levels.

So next time, read up, before you make yourself look ridiculous.

Besides, those are exactly the kind of posts that discourages newbies to share. What may be unimportant, nay even mundane, to you, would probably be essential to newbies.

Hi den.

I have the hard copy of that manual. It came with my unit. Sadly, it doesn't say anything about how to access the clinician setup. It's simply the users manual if I am not mistaken. Thus, had to do a quick research. But, no worries.

Anyway, in case anyone would need it, it's simply:

1. Use menu button to go to the setting you want to change
2. Press the up and down button simultaneously and do not let go
3. Press the menu button until the letters and/or numbers on the screen blink
4. Now use the arrows to adjust
5. Click meno button again once done

Hi Den.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I saw and read that but it only deals with the user menu settings and not the clinician setup menu sadly.

As I have posted earlier, one needs to press the UP and DOWN buttons "simultaneously" then click menu button to access the clinician menu.

Here's the thread that helped me out Den:

http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread ... e+pressure

I am now using my desktop PC so I can repost the exact steps shared by the user from the other board:

"1. To Select CPAP or APAP Mode
1. Press "MENU" to select [Mode CPAP] menu while in the standby screen.
2. Hold the "UP" and "DOWN" button, and then simultaneously press the "MENU"
button for one second. Meanwhile, the LCD screen [Mode CPAP] should start
blinking to allow you to switch the mode from CPAP to APAP.
3. Press "UP" or "DOWN" button to select CPAP or APAP mode.
4. After selecting the mode, press "MENU" to confirm.
5. Press “START/STANDBY” button to go back to standby screen or leave the device to
automatically go back to standby screen 20 seconds later.
2. To Set the Pressure
1. Press "MENU" to select [P XX.XcmH2O] menu while in the standby screen in CPAP
mode.
2. Hold the "UP" and "DOWN" button, and then simultaneously press the "MENU"
button for one second. Meanwhile, the LCD screen [P XX.XcmH2O] should start
blinking to allow you to adjust the therapy pressure from 4 to 20 cm H2O.
3. Press "UP" or "DOWN" button to increase or decrease the pressure setting. The
increment or decrement of pressure setting is 0.5 cm H2O.
4. After selecting the prescribed pressure, press "MENU" to confirm.
5. Press “START/STANDBY” button to go back to standby screen or leave the device to
automatically go back to standby screen 20 seconds later.
6. In APAP mode, follow same instructions to set the initial pressure (Pinit), maximum
pressure (Pmax), and minimum pressure (Pmin) ."

So you meant, posts other than this thread. Anyway, that is the Tapatalk app and its "smilies" not being properly identified and detected by this board.

Be that as it may, I just do not understand why people here have to be so rude in posting or replying. The use of "F'in" and "Stupid", among others, really discourages newbies. Can we not all co-exist without using such antagonistic words?

Anyway, if I have offended anyone here, I am sorry. If I have bothered anyone with mundane posts, I am sorry.

I just want to learn and, so far, this board has helped me a lot.

Ah yes....classic palerider.... you clearly have a thick book of insults beside you. I already apologized and yet you found a way to make your day....by insulting and being sarcastic.

I don't see any apologies from you...

it's also quite interesting that you feel that someone pointing out the inconsistencies between what you say, and what you do, even immediately thereafter, is insulting to you.

whatever helps you sleep at night.

That's the thing.

You fail to see what you don't want to see, or perhaps, much worse, those you fail to comprehend.

I can readily accept faults and constructive criticisms but will not, and never will, take sarcasm and insults sitting down.
