NOTE: Before attempting to start a cold unit, let the unit reach room temperature in
a heated area.
8. Press the power switch ON ( I ) to start the compressor.
9. Place mouthpiece between your teeth and close your mouth

10. As aerosol begins to flow, inhale deeply, slowly, and hold breath for
10 seconds. Then exhale slowly through the mouthpiece.
NOTE: Before storing supplies between treatments, clean and dry nebulizer.
(Refer to Maintenance Section in this manual). Tighten caps on medication jars.
NOTE: In the event a substantial increase in back pressure is achieved, i.e.
kinked tubing, an audible "pop" or air leak may be heard. A relief valve has
been included to reduce possible damage to the compressor; which closes once
the back pressure has decreased.
