Power Supplies - AirSep FreeStyle Patient Manual

Power Supplies

FreeStyle 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 unit. When it is fully
charged, it supplies power to the FreeStyle unit for up to 3 ½ 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 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.). It takes a minimum of 3 1/2 hours for a discharged battery 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 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 unit. When
FreeStyle is operated with the AC power supply, power from the AC outlet powers the unit and recharges
FreeStyle's battery simultaneously.
3. DC Power Supply: A DC power supply can be connected from the FreeStyle unit to an automobile's
(boat, motor home, etc.) 12-volt DC outlet. When FreeStyle is connected to the automobile's DC
outlet, power from the automobile battery powers the FreeStyle unit and recharges the FreeStyle's
battery simultaneously.
4. Optional AirBelt (External Battery Belt): FreeStyle 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 for up to 10 hours. The belt pack connects to the FreeStyle unit's
power inlet, and it can be recharged by connecting it to the battery belt's own power supply.
