OPERATION
2. Plug the power cord into the wall and the power pack outlet lead into the Freeway
Lite DC inlet and the GREEN Charging indicator light will come ON.
3. Switch Freeway Lite ON at the ON/OFF switch and the Freeway Lite will operate.
CAUTION
DO NOT plug the 12 volt lead into the DC inlet when the ON/OFF switch
is in the ON position, or remove it when the Freeway Lite is operating.
Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position before plug-
ging or unplugging your Freeway Lite from or into its power source.
OPERATING FROM THE FREEWAY LITE BATTERY PACK
1. Ensure the power pack is NOT plugged into the control unit panel of the Freeway Lite.
2. Check that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position before inserting a battery pack.
3. Remove the rubber covers from the battery connections from the unit and store them in
the clear pocket on the flap of the carrying case.
4. Insert the charged Freeway Lite battery into the unit ensuring that the top is flush with the
rest of the unit and switch the unit ON. (The internal control circuit will determine if there is
sufficient power in the battery. If there is, the Freeway Lite will start.)
5. When the YELLOW Low Power light appears, 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.
6. If the Freeway Lite does NOT operate correctly, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING
Section of this manual.
NOTE: The Freeway Lite has been designed to be used with the Sidestream Nebulizer.
Treatment times will increase if nebulizing antibiotics or using a different nebulizer.
NOTE: During use, the Freeway Lites battery is prevented from being discharged to a
level that would cause permanent damage. You should NEVER start a treatment with
the YELLOW light illuminated. ALWAYS charge the batteries first.
NOTE: A FULLY charged battery should provide approximately 36 minutes of treatment
time between charges.
Operating From a Car or a Boat
1. The Freeway Lites 12 volt lead will fit into the majority of car cigarette lighter sockets. The
vehicle MUST BE a negative ground system. This is normal on practically all modern ve-
hicles. Connection to a positive earth system cannot damage the Freeway Lite, the unit
simply will NOT operate or charge the battery from an incorrect polarity DC supply.
