I have a RemStar Plus and would like to change the output pressure setting. Is there a way I can do it without having to go to a vendor? The reason I want to change the setting is because I have gained weight. I have a older CPAP that is is adjustable and is working well for me. I would like to use the newer RemStar though.
Thank you in advance.

These are cut and pasted from someone elses post for a PRO2 but I think it is pretty much the same for the Plus. At least it will get you where you need to be. Pretty easy to figure out once in setup mode
______________________________
When in the Setup Menu, the humidifier ^ and ramp v buttons operate as up and down keys to change the settings, the left/right user buttons < > allow you to go to the previous/next question or setting, and the pressure start/stop button is used to exit the Setup Menu. Holding the humidifier or ramp buttons down will cause the values to change more quickly.
To enter the Therapy Setup Menu, hold the two top user buttons < > down while plugging in the power cord.
Continue holding the buttons down until the REMstar Pro 2 with C-Flex beeps.
Note: The word "setup" will appear on all of the screens indicating that you are in the Therapy Setup Menu.
If you press the Pressure start/stop button, you will exit the Setup Menu.
a. Compliance hours: (recommend leaving alone) Select next setting with >
b. Therapy mode: (CPAP or CFLE) select with ^ or v Select next setting with >
c. CPAP pressure setting: Select with ^ or v Select next setting with >
d. C-Flex mode (if you chose CFLE mode): Select setting 1, 2 or 3 with ^ Select next setting with >
e: Ramp time setting: Select with ^ or v (ramp time will be turned off with a setting of 0) Select next setting with >
f. Ramp pressure setting: Select with ^ or v Select next setting with >
g. Patient disconnect setting: 1 = on 0 = off Select with ^ or v Select next setting with >
h. Buttons lights setting: 1 = on 0 = off Select with ^ or v (Last setting. Use On/Off button to exit Setup)

Your profile shows that you have the REMstar Plus WITHOUT the C-Flex option.
For those types of machines, there are slightly different instructions because the "user" < > buttons under the LCD display don't exist on that machine.
I've created the following text file from the manual which is in .pdf format.
You might want to copy it and save it to file on your computer.
