Setting of the Flow Selector
The FreeStyle 5 unit has five pulse flow settings: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, providing flows equivalent to 1-5 LPM oxygen. Lift the dust
cover on the unit's keypad, and press the 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 button, which corresponds to the oxygen pulse flow that your physician
has prescribed. (See Figures 16 and 17.)

It is very important to select only the prescribed level of oxygen. Change the pulse flow selection only under the guidance of
your physician.
Alarm/Light Indicators
When the FreeStyle unit senses inhalation, a pulse of oxygen is delivered through the nasal cannula. The green light on the
unit's control panel blinks each time a breath is detected.
Additionally, when the unit is operating and simultaneously being charged through the AC or DC power supply, the FreeStyle 5
unit's battery gauge/indicator(s) display the charge level of the battery (25% to 100% state of charge) and remain on for
approximately 2 ½ hours after reaching a full charge.
