Press the right and down arrows simultaneously for about 3 seconds until the word "clinical" appears. Select Menu, then use the left and right arrows to cycle through the settings. Use the up and down arrows to make adjustments.

Thank you. As it turns out I found a pdf document elsewhere online that explains how to get into the settings of my ResMed S8. I tried it and I think it worked, we'll see. I have the opposite problem of most folks, it seems. The pressure is too high and it starts pushing air out between my skin and the mask and it wakes me up and keeps my light-sleeping wife awake. I need to lower the ramp max pressure. I find that I don't need a lot of pressure for my apnea, I guess it's not so severe.

S8 Escape does not display/report any useful data such as AHI or leak data, just how many hours using the machine each night
