Battery Pack

The FreeStyle or FreeStyle 5 can be operated by
the rechargeable battery pack which is supplied
with the device. There are no operational
limitations of the concentrator when running from
the battery pack. All flow rates are available on
battery power.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY:
Align the battery with the front housing from the
right side of the FreeStyle or FreeStyle 5 so that
it will slide into the empty compartment. Push the
battery inward until you hear a click to confirm that
it has locked in place.
REMOVING THE BATTERY:
Pull the battery release button outward away from
the FreeStyle or FreeStyle 5. While HOLDING
this button, slide the battery out by pulling it away
from the concentrator. Use the depressed finger slot
to grip the battery when pulling outward.
WARNING: THE FREESTYLE OR
FREESTYLE 5 MUST BE OFF AND
DISCONNECTED FROM EXTERNAL
POWER BEFORE REMOVING THE
BATTERY PACK.
CHECKING BATTERY PACK CHARGE:
To check the battery charge when it is installed in
the FreeStyle or FreeStyle 5, press the "BATT"
battery status button on the control panel of the
concentrator. The battery gauge indicator lights
(25-100%) will illuminate above the BATT button
to indicate the level of the battery pack charge.
Note: If the battery is in the process of charging, the gauge
indicator lights will show the status without pressing the
BATT button.
