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

your cannula.

Use no oil, grease, or petroleum-based or other flammable
products with the oxygen-carrying accessories or the
FreeStyle unit. Only water based, oxygen compatible lotions
or salves should be used. Oxygen accelerates the
combustion of flammable substances.
