Battery Charging - AirSep FreeStyle 5 Patient Manual

Battery Charging

Check to make sure your unit's battery is fully charged before venturing out with FreeStyle 5 for the first time or upon
subsequent use. To check the level of charge of the internal battery, press the BATT button on FreeStyle 5's keypad. The battery
gauge/indicator(s) LEDs above the BATT button illuminate to indicate the level of internal battery charge (25-100%). Note: The
internal battery is charging whenever the unit is operating on AC or DC power. To charge FreeStyle 5's internal battery, simply
connect its AC power supply or DC power supply into the unit's power connection inlet (as shown in Figure 7). Be certain to
first properly align the power cord to this inlet. To do this, take note of the "D"-shaped plug of both the power cord connector
and the FreeStyle 5's inlet connection. These must be properly aligned and when removing the power cord, the release button
must be pressed to remove it from the FreeStyle 5 unit. This ensures that neither the unit nor the power accessories are damaged.
Optional AirBelt
Optionally, you may also have an AirBelt for extended use of FreeStyle 5.
The optional AirBelt (Figure 9), can power the FreeStyle 5 unit for up to 7 hours.
Before using AirBelt, check that it is sufficiently charged. It requires approximately 3 hours to completely charge.
AirBelt is equipped with a battery gauge/indicator to indicate the level of battery charge (25-100%). To check the level of
charge, press the button on the AirBelt keypad. The battery gauge/indicator(s) illuminate to indicate the level of battery
charge (25-100%).
