Get your manual out and refresh yourself on how to program the machine settings.
You are going to want to turn your old machine on and wait for the beep and hold the green button down until the settings pop up. You are probably going to need to write down the first 20 or 30 settings, but might as well write them all down. You could get a list from your center, but everyone has different settings. The swap machines just come with default settings. You will most likely need to program the new machine. Most of the settings that vary are based on your prescription and how your center handles rinseback calculations and pressure alarms.
We like to customize ours a little by increasing the scrolling rate on the pressure readings. We may have increased our alarm pressure levels also.
