AirSep FreeStyle 5 Patient Manual page 10

The FreeStyle 5 Portable Oxygen Concentrator may be used during sleep under the recommendation of a qualified
clinician.
Operating the FreeStyle 5 unit outside of its normal operating temperature range can affect performance and decrease
battery run time and/or increase battery charge time. (Refer to the Specifications section in this manual.)
Do not allow either the air intake or the air outlet vents to become blocked. This can cause the FreeStyle 5 unit to
overheat and affect performance.
Do not operate unit in a restricted or confined space (i.e., a small case or handbag) where ventilation can be limited. This
can cause the FreeStyle 5 unit to overheat and affect performance.
When using FreeStyle 5 in an automobile, boat, or on other DC sources with the DC power supply, make sure that the
vehicle is started and running before connecting the FreeStyle 5 unit. If the DC power supply does not illuminate and
requires resetting, disconnect the DC power supply from the DC outlet, restart your vehicle, and then reconnect your DC
power supply into the DC outlet. Failure to follow these instructions can result in the power supply not supplying power to
FreeStyle 5.
When the automobile in which you are using the FreeStyle 5 unit is turned off, disconnect and remove the unit from the
automobile with you. Do not store FreeStyle 5 in a very hot automobile or in other similar, high-or low-temperature
environments. Operating or storing the unit outside the normal temperature range can affect the performance of the
FreeStyle 5. (Refer to the Specifications section in this manual.)
If the FreeStyle 5 has been stored for an extended period of time outside its normal operating temperature range, the unit
should be allowed to return to normal operating temperature before being turned on. (Refer to the Specifications section
in this manual.)
It is very important to select only the prescribed level of oxygen. Change the pulse flow selection only under the guidance
of your physician.
