			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can adjust most CPAP machines without a Doctor if you can unlock it.  This is especially useful if you purchase your machine second hand and you need to adjust your CPAP machine to your prescription.  I&#8217;ve seen people SELLING this information on Ebay. Search around on the internet before you pay for free information.</p>
<p>I own a remstar mseries CPAP machine and here is how to get into the menu where you can change the settings:</p>
<ol>
<li>Unplug the CPAP power supply.</li>
<li>Open the top plastic flip cover</li>
<li>Hold down BOTH arrow buttons<img src="http://www.cpap-reviews.com/images/mseries1.jpg" /></li>
<li>Plug the AC power back in while continuing to hold down the arrow buttons</li>
<li>Release the arrow buttons after you hear two quick beeps</li>
</ol>
<p>Now you can get into the setup menu by pressing the + button.  You will see:</p>
<ol>
<li>Therapy Mode (not adjustable on my machine)</li>
<li>CPAP Pressure (This is the normal Pressure-put in what your doctor has prescribed for you)</li>
<li>Altitude (1, 2, or 3-I believe 2 and 3 are for higher altitudes; I just leave mine at 1 since I&#8217;m at sea level)</li>
<li>Fine Pressure Adjustment (I haven&#8217;t ever changed this)</li>
<li>Ramp Time (This is great for fine tuning how long you want the Ramp time to be.  I started out with the longest ramp time of 45 minutes and now after CPAPing for a while I&#8217;m down to 30 minutes.  You shouldn&#8217;t have to go to the doctor to adjust this!)</li>
<li>Ramp Start Pressure (My prescription is 7.0 cmH20 and I have my Ramp Start Pressure at 6.0.  If you&#8217;re just starting out it may be easier to use a lower Pressure initially, maybe even the lowest setting then work your way higher if needed.)</li>
<li>Mask Alert (This will send out some beeps if your mask comes during the night.  I leave mine OFF since sometimes it&#8217;s hard for me to get back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night.)</li>
<li>Auto OFF (This doesn&#8217;t work as well as I want since it takes maybe 30 to 60 seconds for the machine to turn off, and it&#8217;s really loud.  I usually reach over and just turn it off myself even though I have this feature on.)</li>
<li>Patient Reminder (I don&#8217;t use this feature)</li>
</ol>
<p>You can adjust the C-Flex feature without unlocking it, but it is also available in this unlocked menu.</p>
