• Discharged battery
LifeStyle does not produce oxygen when the battery power falls below a
certain level. When this occurs, a rapid alarm sounds and the yellow
BATTERY light illuminates intermittently. In this case, replace the battery,
connect the LifeStyle to a DC vehicle cigarette lighter socket or an AC socket,
or change to another source of oxygen immediately. When LifeStyle is
connected to a DC vehicle cigarette lighter socket or to an AC socket, power
from the car battery or from the AC socket operates the LifeStyle unit and
recharges LifeStyle's battery simultaneously.
• Battery charging
The battery always charges in the unit when connected to an AC or DC power
socket, but the yellow BATTERY light illuminates only when LifeStyle is turned
off.
• Battery fully charged
When LifeStyle is connected to an AC or DC socket and the flow selector is
turned to OFF, the yellow BATTERY light illuminates and displays continuously
to indicate that the battery is fully charged. However, when charging the battery
for the first time, the battery should be left in the charger for 12 hours even if
the yellow light displays continuously.
• No inspiration detected
When LifeStyle is connected to a power source and does not sense breathing
within a predetermined time period, a constant alarm sounds, and the red
ALARM illuminates. If this occurs, check the connection from the cannula to the
LifeStyle unit, make sure that the nasal cannula is positioned properly on your
face, and ensure that you are breathing through your nose. If the alarm
continues to sound, change to an alternate source of oxygen, and contact your
Equipment Provider.
• Performance warning
The performance of LifeStyle can be affected by two conditions. The first is if
the user's breathing rate is causing the threshold of the LifeStyle unit's
capacity to be exceeded. The LifeStyle unit supplies a fixed amount of high-
purity oxygen. The amount of oxygen that LifeStyle supplies is dependent upon
the flow selector setting and your breathing rate. If the breathing rate is too
fast for the flow selector setting, the capacity of the LifeStyle unit can be
exceeded.
The second condition that can result in decreased performance is a general
unit malfunction. LifeStyle self-monitors performance and alerts you if this
occurs.
If either of these events occur, a brief alarm sounds intermittently, and the red
ALARM light illuminates intermittently also. During this time, LifeStyle is still
producing high-purity oxygen, and you may continue to use the unit. You
should reduce your activity level or consider locating another source of
oxygen. Contact your Equipment Provider, as necessary.
• LifeStyle's Capacity is Exceeded
If your breathing rate causes the capacity of LifeStyle to be exceeded, a rapid
alarm sounds, and the red ALARM light illuminates intermittently. When this
