How to Insert Batteries
Batteries are not supplied. Use two commercially available AA alkaline batteries. You can also use
nickel-hydrogen batteries (rechargeable batteries). If you use a commercially available battery charger,
you can save cost by recharging the batteries repeatedly.
1
Remove the Battery Cover.
(1) Slightly rotate the Battery Cover
Disengage Lever in the direction of
the arrow, and
(2) Remove the Battery Cover.
- The Battery Cover may not be removed easily when the
batteries are not inserted.
2
Insert batteries correctly by
aligning the polarities (+ and -)
with the battery indication mark.
3
Put on the Battery Cover.
Put the Battery Cover on the Battery Case,
and push it in until it catches the claws and
clicks. Push both ends firmly.
- You may find it difficult to push in because the unit is
made to prevent water dropping inside the unit.

Battery life and battery replacement
■
When using alkaline batteries
The unit can be used for approximately 8 days
(if it is used for 30 minutes a day).
When the Battery Low Indicator (orange)
flashes, batteries will be worn out soon.
Replace both batteries with new ones.
When the Battery Low Indicator
(orange) turns on, batteries are
worn out. As the unit will not
nebulize, immediately replace
both batteries with new ones.
- You may use manganese
batteries. However,
manganese batteries tend to
have a shorter life.
■
When using nickel-hydrogen batteries
The unit can be used for approximately 8 days
(if it is used for 30 minutes a day with the
batteries fully charged.
When the Battery Low Indicator (orange)
flashes, the rechargeable batteries have little
residual power. As the unit does not nebulize,
immediately recharge the batteries with a
commercially available charger.
- The optional AC Adapter does not function
as a battery charger. Use a commercially
available battery charger suitable for the
batteries you are using.
General advice
- Immediately replace the worn batteries with new ones.
- If you are not going to use the unit for a long period of time (3 months or more), remove the batteries or
rechargeable batteries. If you leave the unit without using while keeping the batteries or rechargeable
batteries in it, the batteries may leak and cause trouble to the unit.
- Do not use the batteries other than the ones specified for the unit. Do not use worn and new batteries
together or different types of batteries together.
- Do not insert batteries with the polarities (+ and -) in the wrong direction.
