SAFETY PROTECTIONS

The nebulizer is equipped with protection against several unsafe situations. If these situations occur, the nebulizer will either (1) not power up or (2) turn off automatically, as described below.

Protection against incorrect Power Supply

If an AC/DC adapter is used to power the device, ensure the adapter meets local power regulations; if not, the device may not power up (the Power Indicator Light will not illuminate).

Protection Against Overheating

During normal operation, the Power Indicator Light will illuminate GREEN. However, in the two following cases, the device will indicate irregularity by turning off automatically. The device then requires approxi- mately 45 minutes at rest before restarting.

Protection Against Overuse: The electronic compo- nents of the device are designed to function continu- ously for approximately 40 minutes. Operating the device for too long will trigger the heat-protection mechanism and the device will turn off automatically.

Lack of Liquid in the Reservoir: In the event of lack or insufficient liquid in the reservoir, the device will turn off automatically.
