o
A brief alarm sounds at start-up. FreeStyle begins to operate when the
alarm stops.
o
As the battery power approaches a low level, a brief alarm sounds
intermittently, and the yellow 25% Battery gauge / indicator (Figure 11)
light also illuminates intermittently. When this occurs, connect FreeStyle
to a DC power outlet or to an AC power outlet, or change to another
source of oxygen within two minutes. When FreeStyle is connected to
DC power outlet or AC power outlet, the unit operates while recharging
FreeStyle's battery simultaneously. The level of battery charge is
indicated by the battery gauge/indicator(s).
o
When FreeStyle is operating but does not sense breathing, a constant
alarm sounds, and the alarm light illuminates after 15 minutes. If this
occurs, check the connection from the cannula to the FreeStyle unit,
make sure that the nasal cannula is positioned properly on your face,
and ensure that you are breathing through your nose. (Your physician
may recommend the use of a chin strap if needed.) If the alarm
continues to sound, change to another source of oxygen as available,
and contact your Equipment Provider.
o
If your breathing rate causes the capacity of FreeStyle to be exceeded,
a rapid alarm sounds every ½ second, and the alarm light illuminates
red intermittently. When this occurs, the concentration of oxygen that
FreeStyle is supplying is outside of the unit specifications. You should
reduce any physical activity, reset alarm by turning unit off and back on,
and then if necessary change to another source of oxygen as available,
and contact your Equipment Provider.

In the event of an alarm or you observe FreeStyle is not working
properly; consult the Troubleshooting section in this manual. If
you cannot resolve the problem, consult your Equipment
Provider.
If you feel discomfort or are experiencing a medical emergency,
seek medical assistance immediately.
