setting Date Time on ResMed Air 10

[Sealy15]

Thanks apneaboard I am a new member and have found the forums very usefull and hopefully will get some answers to help with my new ResMed AirSense Auto 10.
Like some other members have found issues buying overseas has good and bad points .Cpaps can be up to 130% more in Aus.I had a ResMed Clinic trial for 6wks along with a Consultant Physician which cost over $500 then they wanted $2123 for the machine.Hence I purchased overseas.
Having trouble setting Date/ Time, When i set correct time or set date it tells me" cannot be set in the past"
Maybe someone who have purchased the same cpap overseas can help.
The wife is now happy no snoring.

On the S9 machine, you can't set it to a time where you already have data. How far off is the clock? You may have to do it a chunk at a time, for instance, turn it off at 8 AM when you get up, don't use it, then at 8 PM that night, you can set it back 12 hours.

If that's too cumbersome, you can erase all the data from the machine and it should let you change the date to whatever you want.

First back-up your data by downloading your existing data and saving them into ResScan.

Next, in your A10 enter into the Clinical Setup. On the Home page, press the turn knob and the Home Button simultaneously for 5 seconds. It will lead you to the Clinical Menu. Press settings, scroll down near to the bottom and then press Configuration and it will show:

Erase Data (No or Yes)

Press yes and all your data will be erased. Only then you can set up your new date and time.

I guess that it is a built-in protection function of A10 you can't change the date and time at will because that will corrupt your data that has been previously recorded on a different time frame.

It's in the clinic manual might be worth getting a copy of it from the link at the top of the board. Happened to me as well during setup :-) having the manual and this board makes up for not being able to turn to a DME for answers.
