WARNINGS FOR MEDICATION USE
Always follow the prescribing physician's instructions regarding the type of medication to be used, the dosage, the frequency, and duration of the inhalations. The 6700 has been designed for use with aqueous solutions of medication; medication that is too dense or oily will not be nebulized correctly. If a medication has not been nebulized correctly, dilute it with an equal quantity of physiological solution for inhalations (add 2 ml of physiological solution to 2 ml of oily medication).

SETUP Before using the device, ensure that it has been cleaned as described in
MAINTENANCE/Cleaning the Nebulizer After Each Use
1. Remove the top cover and nebulization chamber from the device.
2. Press the knobs of the air-flow chamber on two sides to remove the air-flow chamber and medication cup from the device.
3. Fill the reservoir of the device with distilled water until it reaches exactly the level marked in red (approximately 4 ml). This amount of water serves as a liq­uid conductor, to conduct the ultrasound waves to the medication, and will never be nebulized.

be inhaled is larger than the maximum capacity of the medication cup, divide it into several separate inhalations.
6. Re-install the air-flow chamber, nebulization chamber, and top cover on the de-
vice. Apply sufficient pressure when re-installing to ensure that they are securely closed.

METHOD OF POWERING
After the preparation, connect the device to electrical power. The 6700 can be powered in various ways:
With the AC/DC Adapter
This is designed for use in the home or wherever normal-voltage power supply is available (different connections are available for different voltages).
1. Ensure that device power is OFF. Ensure that the voltage at the socket is the same as that of the transformer, as indicated on the transformer specification plate. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical wall outlet.
2. Insert the transformer plug into the device's power socket.
With the Optional Car Adapter (Cigarette Lighter)
This method allows the patient to take the inhalations when traveling by car.
1. Ensure that the cigarette lighter socket in the car is designed for power of at least 15 watts. Insert the car adapter plug into the cigarette lighter socket.
2. Insert the car adapter pin into the device's power socket.
WARNING: Never use the device while driving.
