Battery Charging - AirSep FreeStyle Patient Manual

FreeStyle™
Before operating FreeStyle for the first time, familiarize yourself with the major
components. These are illustrated in the figures on the following pages and
discussed later in the manual.

Battery Charging

Check to make sure your unit's battery is fully charged before venturing out with
FreeStyle for the first time or upon subsequent use. To check the level of charge
of the internal battery, press the BATT button on FreeStyle's keypad. The battery
gauge/indicator(s) LEDs above the BATT button illuminate to indicate the level of
internal battery charge (25-100%). Note: The internal battery is charging
whenever the unit is operating on AC or DC power. To charge FreeStyle's
internal battery, simply connect its Universal AC/DC power supply into the unit's
power connection inlet (as shown in Figure 7). Be certain to first properly align
the power cord to this inlet. To do this, take note of the "D"-shaped plug of both
the power cord connector and the FreeStyle's inlet connection. These must be
properly aligned and when removing the power cord, the release button must be
pressed to remove it from the FreeStyle unit. This ensures that neither the unit
nor the power accessories are damaged.

Power Inlet
Optional AirBelt
The optional AirBelt, which can increase FreeStyle's total battery duration up to 10
hours, requires approximately 3 hours to completely charge when the external battery
is fully depleted. To recharge AirBelt, connect its own AC power supply to the end of
AirBelt's power cord (as shown in Figure 8), and the other end of the power supply
into a proper AC power outlet. A separate battery gauge/indicator for checking the
level of charge on the AirBelt's battery is located on this accessory's cord and
functions exactly like the internal battery's indicator on the keypad.
Depending upon the temperature of the FreeStyle battery, it can
take several minutes for the charging cycle to start after
connecting to power. This is a normal condition and is intended for
safe charging.
