• To prolong the life of the battery, only charge the
battery when the low-battery light flashes.
NOTE:
Your Nebulizer is equipped with two battery
lamps. Both are positioned on the front of
the unit.
1) A flashing red battery
light, Fig. 6, indicates
proper AC connection
and shows that the
battery is being charged.
NOTE: This lamp has a
second function during Fig .6
operation. It indicates the lowest
nebulization level, Fig. 10.
2) If this lamp, Fig. 7, changes from green to red
during use, the rate of nebulization will decrease,
then cease, indicating thatthe battery needs to be
charged. If this occurs,
(1) Press the POWER button to turn off.
(2) Flip the switch at the
bottom to the

switches. One on the
front of the unit, Fig. 8,
and the other on the
bottom, Fig. 9.

position. The LED indicator on the front of
the unit will illuminate.

airflow button to adjust
the airflow volume. The
Airflow Volume Indicator

physician and/or respiratory therapist.
2. Your Nebulizer is designed to start at a
lower atomization rate in the beginning and
will become stronger after a few minutes.
NOTE: Although many medications are
delivered within six minutes, thicker medications
will take longer to nebulize. The viscosity
of the medication and airflow setting may
result in longer treatment times and reduced
battery life between recharges.

medication mist.
