3.Plug the 12 volt DC lead into the DC inlet.

4.Connect the 12 volt DC lead to the power supply. The GREEN Charging indicator light will now come ON.

5.Switch Freeway Lite ON at the ON/OFF switch and the Freeway Lite will operate.

6.If the Freeway Lite does NOT operate correctly, refer to the TROUBLESHOOT- ING Section of this manual.

Traveling With The Freeway Lite

NOTE: The Freeway Lite Aerosol Compressor uses nickel cadmium batteries which are accepted for use on most airlines. However, we strongly advise that you contact your airline before travel to ensure their approval.

Your AC/DC Power Pack and cord are designed to operate from U.S. and North American outlet voltages and plug configurations (90 - 240 VAC, 50 - 60Hz). By purchasing travel plug adaptors, your Freeway Lite can be utilized around the world.

PREPARING FOR TREATMENT

1.Place the nebulizer in the stand provided for filling with medication or when resting during treatment.

CAUTION

DO NOT fill the Sidestream near the control panel. Spilled liquid may damage the unit.

NOTE: It is important that a Sidestream nebulizer is used to gain maximum perfor- mance from your Freeway Lite.

2.Dispense your prescribed medication either directly into the top of the Sidestream, or into the base by unscrewing the chamber.
