Respironics listened to the CPAP community and removed the "blue light" LED. The PR was placed in a dark room and the new power light could barely be seen. No more insomnia from excess system lights. The only common parts shared with the M series is the Power Supply. The PR system comes with a separate, external power brick and allows the overall CPAP to stay compact.
Error in the Manual.
The manual says this machine includes an Auto On/Off feature but our in house testing results show that it does not. We are offering this machine for sale WITHOUT this feature as a result and have made Respironics aware of the issue.
