Battery Charging
Check to make sure your unit's battery is fully charged before venturing out with FreeStyle for the first
time or upon subsequent use. To check the level of charge of the internal battery, press the BATT
button on FreeStyle's keypad. The battery gauge/indicator(s) LEDs above the BATT button illuminate
to indicate the level of internal battery charge (25-100%). Note: The internal battery is charging
whenever the unit is operating on AC or DC power. To charge FreeStyle's internal battery, simply
connect its Universal AC/DC
7). Be certain to first properly align the power cord to this inlet. To do this, take note of the "D"-shaped
plug of both the power cord connector and the FreeStyle's inlet connection. These must be properly
aligned and when removing the power cord, the release button must be pressed to remove it from the
FreeStyle unit. This ensures that neither the unit nor the power accessories are damaged.
Optional AirBelt
The optional AirBelt, which can increase FreeStyle's total battery duration up to 10 hours, requires
approximately 3 hours to completely charge when the external battery is fully depleted. To recharge
AirBelt, connect its own AC power supply to the end of AirBelt's power cord (as shown in Figure 8),
and the other end of the power supply into a proper AC power outlet. A separate battery
gauge/indicator for checking the level of charge on the AirBelt's battery is located on this accessory's
cord and functions exactly like the internal battery's indicator on the keypad.
For oxygen concentrators equipped with the optional Airbelt:
1. The AirBelt does not need to be fully discharged before recharging. It is recommended to charge
it after each use.
NOTE
2. Depending upon the temperature of the AirBelt, it can take several minutes for the charging cycle
to start after connecting to power. This is a normal condition and is intended for safe charging.
