Power Supplies

FreeStyle 5 can be powered in four different ways – the internal battery, an AC power supply, DC power supply, and an optional
AirBelt battery belt in combination with the unit's internal battery.
1. Internal Battery: A rechargeable internal battery is located within each FreeStyle 5 unit. When it is fully charged, it
supplies power to the FreeStyle 5 unit for up to 3 hours. An audible alarm sounds when the battery power is getting low.
The alarm is discussed in the Alarm/Light Indicators section of this manual.
Battery Charging: To charge the internal battery, connect FreeStyle 5 to either the AC power supply and a 100-240
volt, 50/60 Hz AC power outlet, or connect it to a DC power outlet in an automobile (boat, motor home, etc.). A
discharged battery requires approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes to fully charge. It is recommended to recharge the
battery, even if only partially depleted, as often as possible.
2. AC Power Supply: An AC power supply allows FreeStyle 5 to be connected to a 100-240 volt, 50/60 Hz outlet. The
power supply converts 100-240 volt AC to a DC voltage for the FreeStyle 5 unit. When FreeStyle 5 is operated with the
AC power supply, power from the AC outlet powers the unit and recharges FreeStyle 5's battery simultaneously.
3. DC Power Supply: A DC power supply can be connected from the FreeStyle 5 unit to an automobile's (boat, motor
home, etc.) 12 volt DC outlet. When FreeStyle 5 is connected to the automobile's DC outlet, power from the automobile
battery powers the FreeStyle 5 unit and recharges the FreeStyle 5 battery simultaneously.
4. Optional AirBelt (External Battery Belt): FreeStyle 5 can also be powered by an external battery belt. This belt can be
worn around the waist, and when used in combination with a fully charged internal battery, supplies power to FreeStyle
5 for up to 7 hours. The belt pack connects to the FreeStyle 5 unit's power inlet, and it can be recharged by connecting it
to the battery belt's own AC power supply.
When using the AirBelt with a fully charged internal battery, the FreeStyle 5's internal battery will deplete before the
AirBelt. The AirBelt must be connected to the FreeStyle 5 unit before the FreeStyle 5's internal battery is depleted.
Observe and connect the AirBelt to the FreeStyle 5 unit before its internal battery discharges to 25% or less.
If the internal battery fully depletes and the FreeStyle 5 unit shuts down, the unit cannot be restarted with the AirBelt.
Should this occur, connect your FreeStyle 5 to its AC or DC power supply for a short period of time in order to provide
sufficient internal battery power to start the unit. AirBelt can then be connected to provide additional run time.
