LifeStyle
™
The compressor filter, positioned beneath the air intake/gross particle filter,
further filters the air as it enters the compressor. This filter is also maintained
by your Equipment Provider.
• The use of some oxygen administration accessories not specified for use
with this oxygen concentrator may impair its performance.
IX. Setting of the Flow Selector for Prescribed Oxygen
Concentration
The flow selector provided has six positions – OFF, and 1 to 5 for equivalent
flows of 1-5 lpm oxygen. When operating LifeStyle, turn the flow selector to the
setting that your doctor has prescribed.
• It is very important to select the prescribed level of oxygen flow. Do not
increase or decrease the flow of your prescription until you first consult your
doctor.

X. Alarm/Light Indicators
When the LifeStyle unit senses inhalation, a pulse of oxygen is sent through
the nasal cannula. The green PULSE light displays intermittently each time a
breath is detected. There are no audible alarms or other lights on during
normal operation.
An audible alarm sounds if LifeStyle has a low battery, senses no breathing,
or if performance of the unit is outside specifications. If an alarm sounds,
open the door covering the device controls to observe which lights are on.
The light and audible alarm conditions are explained in detail below and
summarized on the chart later in this section of the manual.
• Start-Up
A brief alarm sounds at start-up. LifeStyle begins to operate when the alarm
stops.
• Low battery
As the battery power approaches a low level, a brief alarm sounds
intermittently, and the yellow BATTERY light illuminates intermittently also.
When this occurs, replace the battery, connect LifeStyle into a DC power
socket or an AC socket, or change to another source of oxygen within five
minutes. When LifeStyle is connected to a DC vehicle cigarette lighter socket
or to an AC socket, power from the car battery or from the AC socket operates
the LifeStyle unit and recharges LifeStyle's battery simultaneously.
