Dreamstation Go date, time and Oscar
#1
Dreamstation Go date, time and Oscar
For travel I use a Dreamstation Go. I haven't done much travel recently and the last time I used the machine  was in May 2021. I cannot find any way to adjust the machin's date. It does allow me to change the time of day, which I have done.

OSCAR does not recognise the card from the machine, but it nonetheless does allow input of the data from the card (my guess is that it uses the profile data structure as if it was a full Dreamstation.).  However, it seems to think that the date is April 5th 2022.  This seems to me to be a rather random date - it is a date which is almost 18 months after the pervious data on the card, but not today's date either!

Is there any way out of this mess?

Not sure how to fix the date but in case you’re not aware, all Dreamstation Gos are included in Phillips recall. Register your unit on the Phillips website. Sadly, my Go is sitting in the closet awaiting replacement.

You can only calibrate the RTC by philips service software, and probably the RTC battery is down too.

I would guess that the RTC battery is rechargeable when the machine is connected to power. This would explain why the clock stopped about 1 year into the period during which the unit was not actually in use and sitting in its case. (Not much travel going on because of Covid restrictions). 

In fact the issue now seems to have been sorted. I connected the unit using Bluetooth to  DreamMapper on my phone.  This seems to have brought the clock back to the current date but showing UTC time.  I then corrected this to local time using the unit's software interface. Downloading the data into OSCAR now shows the data from last night on the correct date/time. The previous night's data, collected before the connection to the mobile,  is still appearing as being from April 5th (as I expecteed).

ok I forgot the bluetooth and dreammapper.
there is a 3V capacity powering the RTC and if it out of spec the date and time will shift agian after power disconnected, if not that means the RTC is working properly.
