FreeStyle 5™
[Read the Important Safety Rules section before operating this equipment.]
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.
