It may be necessary to initially connect the Universal AC/DC
FreeStyle power supply to the FreeStyle unit before the unit will
operate for the first time on battery power. Your Equipment
Provider may have already performed this step for you.
Each time the FreeStyle unit is turned on; it cycles through an
automatic start-up period for approximately seven minutes. During
this time, it maintains a constant speed regardless of setting. After
this period, it is normal to hear a change in speed at the 1 and 2
settings. This variation in sound represents the differences in
oxygen production the unit makes at each setting.
Power Supplies
FreeStyle can be powered in four different ways – the internal battery, a
Universal AC/DC power supply and an optional AirBelt battery belt in
combination with the unit’s internal battery.
1. Internal Battery: A rechargeable internal battery is located within each
FreeStyle unit. When it is fully charged, it supplies power to the
FreeStyle unit for up to 3 ½ hours. An audible alarm sounds when the
battery power is getting low. The alarm is discussed in the Alarm/Light
Indicators section of this manual.
Battery Charging: To charge the internal battery, connect FreeStyle to
either the Universal AC/DC power supply and a 100-240 volt, 50/60 Hz
AC power outlet, or connect it to a DC power outlet in an automobile
(boat, motor home, etc.). A discharged battery requires approximately 3
½ hours to fully charge. It is recommended to recharge the battery, even
if only partially depleted, as often as possible.
2. Universal AC/DC Power Supply: A Universal AC/DC power supply
allows FreeStyle to be connected to a 100-240 volt, 50/60 Hz outlet.
The power supply converts 100-240 volt AC to a DC voltage for the
FreeStyle unit. When FreeStyle is operated with the Universal AC/DC
power supply, power from the AC outlet powers the unit and recharges
FreeStyle’s battery simultaneously.
