Changing The Batteries - Naväge SDG-2 Owner's Manual

Changing the Batteries

• Fresh batteries will provide enough power for at least 4
months of twice daily use. If you notice that the motor is
running at a lower pitch, or if there is less suction than you're
used to, it's probably time for new batteries.
• To change the batteries, unscrew the Battery Door with
a Phillips-head screwdriver (Fig. 12). Use your fingernail or
the screwdriver to gently pry up the door. Insert two, new AA
batteries, and screw the Battery Door on tightly.
Cautions
• Use only as indicated in these instructions or as directed by your physician. If you experience pain during
use, stop immediately.
• Side effects from saline nasal irrigation are generally minor and resolve in a short period of time. These
include nasal burning, local irritation or pain, ear discomfort, ear fullness or popping, and nose bleeds.
Side effects can often be avoided or reduced by making small changes in use. Go to the FAQs on navage.com
or call the Naväge Customer Support Team at 800-203-6400 for help.
About Water:
• The US FDA advises using filtered, distilled, or previously boiled water for nasal irrigation.
The US Centers for Disease Control provides detailed information about boiling, filtering, and disinfecting
water for nasal irrigation at www.cdc.gov.
• Most people prefer to use warm water. Do not overheat the water. It should be lukewarm to the touch
and not hotter than about 90° F or 32° C.
• Rinsing your nasal passages with plain, unsalted water will cause stinging and considerable discomfort.
• Consult your physician before use if you recently had ear or nose surgery.
• Do not use if your nasal passages are 100% blocked and you cannot breathe through either nostril.
100% blockage is rare, and nasal irrigation can help relieve even the most stuffed up sinus condition. See
Troubleshooting Tip #5 on page 5 for more details.
• Do not use if you have an ear infection or if your ears are blocked.
• Microwaving the Naväge Nose Cleaner or its accessories can be dangerous and voids the warranty.
• Consult your physician if you are using the Naväge Nose Cleaner to relieve congestion due to a nasal
illness and there is no improvement after use; or if your symptoms persist or worsen; or if you have
a persistently thick, yellow, or green discharge; or if skin at the base of the nostrils becomes raw or crusted.
• Terminate use if no saline appears in the lower tank after 60 seconds.
• Do not use continuously for longer than three minutes.
• To prevent cross infection between users, the Nasal Dock and Nose Pillows should not be shared. For
households that would like to share the same Nose Cleaner, individual Nose Pillow-Nasal Dock Combos
are available on navage.com.
• Not for use by children under 12 years old.
• Clean the Nose Pillows and device after each use according to the cleaning instructions.
• Using the product with illegal drugs, alcohol, or prescription drugs except when prescribed by a physician,
is prohibited, may damage the device, voids the warranty, and may cause serious injury.
• Every individual is unique and experiences will vary. This product may not be right for you.
