In the event of an alarm or you observe that FreeStyle 5 is not
working properly; consult the Troubleshooting section in this
manual. If you cannot resolve the problem, consult your
Equipment Provider.
The FreeStyle 5 Portable Oxygen Concentrator may be used
during sleep under the recommendation of a qualified clinician.
Operating the FreeStyle 5 unit outside of its normal operating
temperature range can affect performance and decrease
battery run time and/or increase battery charge time. (Refer to
the Specifications section in this manual.)
Do not allow either the air intake or the air outlet vents to
become blocked. This can cause the FreeStyle 5 unit to
overheat and affect performance.
Do not operate unit in a restricted or confined space (i.e., a
small case or handbag) where ventilation can be limited. This
can cause the FreeStyle 5 unit to overheat and affect
performance.
When using FreeStyle 5 in an automobile, boat, or on other DC
sources with the DC power supply, make sure that the vehicle
is started and running before connecting the FreeStyle 5 unit. If
the DC power supply does not illuminate and requires
resetting, disconnect the DC power supply from the DC outlet,
restart your vehicle, and then reconnect your DC power supply
into the DC outlet. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in the power supply not supplying power to FreeStyle 5.
