A SAFER way to check your data each day is to press the Left and Right buttons and hold for 3-4 seconds. That will take you to the advanced patient menu where you can't accidentally - or intentionally - alter your therapy settings. Once you've done that it is a matter of Left button to Enter, Right button to Exit, Up button to return to the previous screen and Down button to proceed to the next screen.

Thanks much for these instructions. I tried them and they work fine.  It's wonderful that the DME tech didn't bother to show me that. I specifically asked her whether I can view anything.  For some reason, I can't open any of the PDF files on the ResMed website for this unit.

At this point, I've only used the machine twice for 3 hours each time.  The screens all say "No Data" (but it's also past noon at this point).  I read in the Humidifier FAQ on the ResMed website that warmer air lessens sinus congestion. I'll raise the humidifier setting tonight as well as maybe use an Ace bandage to help keep my mouth closed and see if that stops me from snoring.  I did turn on the leak alarm on the unit, which was turned off.  I may live to regret that!

These machines are real chick magnets, aren't they     I'm sure glad my wife loves me!

The real test, eh? Love me, love my CPAP and mask! Hey! She loved you thru the snoring! Once the lights are out she can't see you. But, I"ll betchya she could hear all that snoring!

These guys are great, they have over 30 years experience and it shows. Mike and Neil were very helpful throughout the whole process and I now have a great fitting mask and I love my S8 Elite. I was able to talk to Mike who is a certified sleep therapist before I ever bought anything and it was free of charge. I know that they were doing it to earn me as a customer and well,  it worked. Their prices were right there with everybody else’s and definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a cpap, mask, or supplies; they have earned my business for life. Check them out, pretty nice website with a lot of info and a nifty quiz... WWW.SMRTSLEEP.COM

I just got the Respironics M-Series machine and it's great! I heard about some problems with other machines, but I've had this one for about 4 months and its working really well.  It was really expensive at a lot of places, but the best price I found was at cpaphouse.com and I even got free shipping! Anyway, I recommend this machine to anyone who has had problems with other machines in the past
