OPERATION
TAKING THE TREATMENT
CAUTION
DO NOT use the Freeway Freedom for more than 20 minutes continuously in any one (1) hour. Allow a minimum of 40 minutes rest/cooling time.
DO NOT operate the unit in temperatures above 104°F (40°C) or below 50°F (10°C), or place near heat sources such as radiators or fires.
WARNING
DO NOT run the Freeway Freedom without an air filter as it may cause permanent damage to the compressor.
1.Turn the Freeway Freedom power switch to the ON ( I ) position and the Sidestream nebulizer will produce a fine mist.
NOTE: If the Freeway Freedom does NOT operate correctly, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section of this manual.
2.It is suggested that you are as relaxed as possible and are sitting in an upright position to obtain the maximum benefit from the treatment.
3.It is suggested that two (2) or three (3) deeper breaths are interspersed with gentle lower chest breathing.
NOTE: If you get breathless during treatment, you are probably breathing too quickly. If you want to take a short break during treatment, switch OFF ( O ) the Freeway Freedom and resume treatment after your break.
NOTE: During use, the Freeway Freedom’s battery is prevented from being discharged to a level that would cause permanent damage. If the YELLOW
LOW POWER light ( 
) comes ON during treatment, finish the treatment. This normally indicates that between 20 to 50% of the operating time is left. This actual time will vary with each unit and the light will illuminate earlier as the batteries age.
4.When the Sidestream nebulizer begins to work intermittently and “spits”, then the treatment has finished. There is no need to nebulize every drop of your medication as there will always be a small amount left in the chamber.
