are not obstructed.
2. Power the unit from (a) the internal battery; (b) AirBelt; (c) DC outlet (i.e.
automobile or motor boat); or (d) an AC outlet (i.e. normal household
electric). (Refer to the Power Supplies section of this Patient Manual.)
1. Connect your cannula to the oxygen outlet.

3. Turn the FreeStyle 5 unit on by pressing the 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 button on the
unit's keypad for the liter flow prescribed by your physician. The green
LED above the button selected illuminates. Each time you turn on the
FreeStyle 5 unit, a brief alarm sounds. This indicates that FreeStyle 5 is
powered for use.
4. To change the pulse flow setting, press the appropriate button. It is
normal to hear a difference in sound as you change the settings.

Use no oil, grease, or petroleum-based or other flammable
products with the oxygen-carrying accessories or the
FreeStyle 5 unit. Only water based, oxygen compatible lotions
or salves should be used. Oxygen accelerates the
combustion of flammable substances.
Do not heat above 140°F (60°C)
It may be necessary to initially connect the AC or DC
FreeStyle 5 power supply to the FreeStyle 5 unit before the
unit will operate for the first time on battery power. Your
Equipment Provider may have already performed this step for
you.
