Changing the time on your ResMed AirSense 10 CPAP machine primarily involves adjusting its Time Zone setting. This ensures the device records your therapy data accurately according to your local time.
Quick Steps to Change Your AirSense 10 Time
To update the time on your AirSense 10, follow these simple steps:
- Access Settings: Locate and tap the Settings tab or icon on your AirSense 10's screen. This will open the main settings menu.
- Scroll to Time Zone: Within the settings menu, scroll down the list until you find the Time Zone option.

Detailed Guide to Adjusting Your AirSense 10 Time
Your AirSense 10 uses the time zone setting to display the correct local time and ensure accurate reporting of your sleep therapy data. It typically does not allow for manual hour/minute adjustments, relying instead on the time zone and an internal clock.
Why Setting the Correct Time Zone is Important
- Accurate Data Reporting: Your CPAP machine records crucial information, such as usage hours, AHI (Apnea-Hypopnea Index), and mask seal data. If the time zone is incorrect, these timestamps will be inaccurate, potentially affecting your compliance reports and discussions with your healthcare provider.
- Therapy Synchronization: For those who use integrated apps or online portals to track their therapy, a correct time zone ensures that data uploads and displays are synchronized with your actual usage times.
- Daylight Saving Time: When you change your time zone or when Daylight Saving Time begins or ends, adjusting this setting will correctly update your device's clock.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you find that your time isn't updating correctly after selecting the time zone:
- Restart Device: Try unplugging your AirSense 10 from the power outlet for a few seconds and then plugging it back in. This can sometimes refresh the system.
- Check for Updates: Ensure your device's firmware is up to date, if applicable. While not usually related to time zone issues, it's good practice.
- Consult Your Provider: If issues persist, contact your durable medical equipment (DME) provider or ResMed support for further assistance.
