Operating Instructions
1. Locate and position the FreeStyle 5 so that the air inlets and air outlets
are not obstructed.
2. Power the unit from (a) the internal battery; (b) AirBelt; (c) DC outlet (i.e.
automobile or motor boat); or (d) an AC outlet (i.e. normal household
electric). (Refer to the Power Supplies section of this Patient Manual.)
Use no oil, grease, or petroleum-based or other flammable
products with the oxygen-carrying accessories or the FreeStyle
5 unit. Only water based, oxygen compatible lotions or salves
should be used. Oxygen accelerates the combustion of
flammable substances.
Do not heat above 140°F (60°C)
It may be necessary to initially connect the AC or DC FreeStyle
5 power supply to the FreeStyle 5 unit before the unit will
operate for the first time on battery power. Your Equipment
Provider may have already performed this step for you.
1. Connect your cannula to the oxygen outlet.
2. Lift the dust cover on the unit.
3. Turn the FreeStyle 5 unit on by pressing the 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 button on the
unit’s keypad for the liter flow prescribed by your physician. The green
LED above the button selected illuminates. Each time you turn on the
FreeStyle 5 unit, a brief alarm sounds. This indicates that FreeStyle 5 is
powered for use.
4. To change the pulse flow setting, press the appropriate button. It is
normal to hear a difference in sound as you change the settings.
5. To turn FreeStyle 5 off, press the button corresponding to the pulse flow
setting light that is illuminated.
When FreeStyle 5 senses inhalation, oxygen is supplied to you through your
cannula.
The time required to reach minimum oxygen concentration after turning on the
FreeStyle 5 unit is approximately two minutes.
