[Read the Important Safety Rules section before operating this equipment.]
Operating Instructions
1. Locate and position the FreeStyle 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.)
3. Connect your cannula to the oxygen outlet.
4. Lift the dust cover on the unit.
5. Turn the FreeStyle unit on by pressing [1], [2], or [3] 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 unit, a brief alarm sounds. This indicates that FreeStyle is
powered for use.
6. To change the pulse flow setting, press the appropriate button. After the automatic start-up
mode, it is normal to hear a difference in sound as you change the settings.
7. To turn FreeStyle off, press the button corresponding to the pulse flow setting light that is
illuminated.
8. When FreeStyle senses inhalation, oxygen is supplied to you through your cannula.
9. The time required to reach maximum oxygen concentration after turning on the FreeStyle unit
is approximately two minutes.
This device supplies high-concentration oxygen that promotes rapid burning. Do not allow smoking or
open flames within the same room of (1) this device, or (2) any oxygen-carrying accessory. Failure
to observe this warning can result in severe fire, property damage, and/or cause physical injury or death.
Do not use your oxygen concentrator in the presence of flammable gases. This can result in rapid
burning causing property damage, bodily injuries or death.
Do not leave a nasal cannula on clothing, bed coverings or chair cushions. If the unit is turned on but not
in use, the oxygen will make the material flammable. Set the I/0 power switch to the 0 (Off) position when
the Oxygen Concentrator is not in use.
Use no oil, grease, or petroleum-based or other flammable products with the oxygen-carrying accessories
or the Oxygen Concentrator. Only water based, oxygen compatible lotions or salves should be used.
Oxygen accelerates the combustion of flammable substances. (See additional warnings on page 18 of
this manual)
