when the timer starts to run the sanitizer, or if I press the manual button, do you need to press the power button on the cpap unit as well?

no you do not, only the sanitizer needs to be running as long as you have the adapter hooked up to the cpap.
176888
No. Apparently the So Clean circulates the cleansing gas through the cpap unit, hose and mask.
176889
No. The SoClean does all the work. Hope it works for you as well as it has for me. Finally, after a couple years and numerous doctor visits, my respiratory issues have ceased. Love this unit!

You do not need to turn on the power button on the cpap unit. Since I have been using the machine, I have not had any respiratory issues. Really glad I purchased the SoClean. I think you will like it.
176891
No, you do not. The CPAP machine stays off when you are sanitizing the mask and hose.

Rom, It is up to you. If I do not power it off by pushing the button, then when I turn off my PC it goes into stand-by mode and will automatically power back on when I turn the PC on again. I normally turn it off before powering my PC off, and so I need to turn it on again when turning my PC on again.Best,Chris

I do not know, do not have your Cpap machine. I swear by this SoClean sterilizer. Call the manufacture and check with them.

This also confused me. You hav to press and hold those buttons while the unit is off, not after being turned on.

I was not able to program my TV/STB power button to turn the unit on/off. But, the unit goes in standby mode after a few minutes of no input and pressing the volume up on your tv/stb remote will turn the unit on. So, this worked for me.

No. Once the unit is turn off, it will not turn on with out pushing the power button on the "key pad" or remote. If you unplug it for example, while it's on, when you plug it back in it needs to be physically turned on with the power button.

Good question. The instructions say to hold the button down for 3 to 4 seconds. Sometimes it works, often it doesn't. I got tired of the inconsistency, so I plugged the unit into my master power control unit. Now I just turn it off with a dedicated switch on the master contol.

You just turn it on or off.. Do not over think this, there is no three seconds involved. Just press button for on let it do its thing then press button for off. I let it run all the time so it cleans the air. Turn it off when you leave for vacation.

Yes, press the MIN buttom to turn on or off. The button is hard to push, so you won't be pushing it accidently.

Are there instructions with the machine? I usually set the timer and then press on...

I just press the power button on mine until it turns off. It makes two sounds, the first time it makes a sound you have to keep holding down the button until it makes the second sound, after that it should turn off.

On and off button. I manually turn on at bedtime and then manually turn off at wake up. Very happy with the machine. Had similar issue as some others; worked for a couple of nights and then stopped. I called the support phone number and was walked through trouble shooting the problem. Success! No problems nice then and have had the machine for close to a year.

Most of these type alarms have what they call a silence mode. If you push the test button while the alarm is going off it should silence the alarm for a said amount of time, say 5 minutes. What this does is gives you a chance to clear the air from burned toast for example. I will also say that many of these alarms are required to be photo electric which in most cases eliminates "false" alarms such as above. As I tell most of my customers please take the time to read the manuals supplied with the alarms and If you can't understand them have someone you know and trust look at them for you. Hope this helps. Most of these type alarms have what they call a silence mode.

Yep it's the button on the side. Push for on and push for off. My button make a loud click when I push it. Also, you might double check to make sure your unit is charged. I'm very happy with mine.

Yes, you need to hold the power button when using it. It is easy to use though - it is like a trigger that you hold.

It's not possible to plug the CPAP in while the battery pack is plugged in. Included with the battery pack is a charger that plugs into the wall of course and the other end has a "cigarette lighter" plug that's fits in the battery pack so it can charge. To plug the CPAP in you unplug the charger and plug a cigarette lighter plug into the same slot - that plug has on its other end the plug the feed into the CPAP. Hope that's clear?
