2.3 Alarm System
An audible alarm sounds if LifeStyle has a low battery, senses no inspiration, or if
performance outside of specifications is detected. If an alarm sounds, open the cover,
and observe which lights are on. The visual and audible alarm conditions are explained
in detail below.
2.3.1 Start-Up
A five-second, continuous, audible alarm sounds to indicate start-up. LifeStyle
begins to operate when the alarm stops.
2.3.2 Low Battery
As the battery power approaches a low level, a one-second beep is emitted every
five seconds, and the yellow BATTERY light flashes for one second every five
seconds. When this occurs, the patient is instructed to replace the battery, connect
LifeStyle to a DC auto adapter power outlet or an AC power outlet, or change to
another source of oxygen within five minutes. When LifeStyle is connected to a DC
auto adapter outlet or to an AC outlet, power from the automobile battery or from
the AC outlet operates LifeStyle and recharges LifeStyle’s battery simultaneously.
2.3.3 Discharged Battery
LifeStyle does not produce oxygen when the battery power falls below a certain
level. When this occurs, a half-second beep sounds every half second, and the
YELLOW
battery light flashes. In this case, the patient is instructed to replace the
battery, connect LifeStyle to a DC auto adapter outlet or an AC outlet, or change to
another source of oxygen immediately. When LifeStyle is connected to a DC auto
adapter or an AC outlet, power from the automobile battery or from the AC outlet
operates LifeStyle and recharges LifeStyle’s battery simultaneously.
2.3.4 Battery Charging
Charge the battery for the first time for a minimum of 12 hours. The BATTERY light
may illuminate a steady yellow significantly before 12 hours; however, the battery
should be left in LifeStyle with LifeStyle connected to the DC auto adapter or AC
adapter for the full 12 hours. When LifeStyle is plugged into an automobile’s DC
outlet or an AC outlet and is turned
OFF , the yellow BATTERY light flashes to
indicate that the battery is being charged. When LifeStyle is turned ON and plugged
into the DC auto adapter or AC adapter, the battery still charges; however, the
yellow
BATTERY light is not on.
