Illuminated Screen

Illuminated Screen
Are their any controls for the illuminated screen on my ResMed Airsense 10? Specifically, I would like the screen to stay on (dimly) all night. Now it shuts off in less than a minute, which is not long enough for me to see all I want.

Don't think so. You'll just have to hit the big button and turn the light back on.

I'll echo Walla Walla on this. Illumination is automatically controlled.

RE: Illuminated Screen
Ditto.

I would love for it to remain on, or at least user-selectable.

Probably works the way it does because it is intended to aid sleep, and like "a watched pot never boils", someone intent on personally monitoring their pressure won't sleep well.

I used to feel the same way about having it on... I got over it after a few months.

I agree that user-selectable would be a nice option.  In this day and age of electronics, it should be a no-brainer from the mfgr.

I use this as well, but I do look at what pressure it is getting up to, but the light goes out before it settles at any pressure!
I just wish it would stay on for five minutes and half light, then go dim, then off, total time 10 minutes.  This could have been easily made select able or left as is.
I could never understand why it went out so quickly anyway.
I suppose the manufacturers can't win, I remember they got a lot of complaints about just buttons staying light during the night.
They should make these things switchable to get the best of both.
I don't think it can be done, however, I just accepted that this is how it operated.
I am NOT a doctor.  I try to help, but do not take what I say as medical advice.

Well it's not like people are going to say "Oh no I'm not buying ResMed because the light goes out too fast".

Huhsign You not been in the people service industry?  There are people that would do just that.
Some even buy the "For her Airsense 10" because it looks better!   Dont-know

Not that there is anything wrong with that.  But that is just an example!

ResMed doesn't consider the users only the sellers. That doesn't sound like a service industry.
