Storing your FreeStyle 5 for extended periods of time at high
temperatures or with a fully charged or completely discharged
battery can degrade its overall battery life.
Depending upon the temperature of the FreeStyle 5 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.
The FreeStyle 5 battery does not need to be fully discharged
before recharging. It is recommended to charge the FreeStyle 5
battery after each use.
Charging may take several minutes after connecting the power
to initiate, depending on the battery’s internal operating
temperature. This is a normal condition and is intended for safe
battery charging. This circumstance is more likely when the
battery has been fully discharged.
When connected to AC or DC power, the unit’s battery charges
until it reaches full capacity, either while the unit is operating or
turned off.
If the internal battery fully depletes and the FreeStyle 5 unit
shuts down, the unit cannot be restarted with the AirBelt. Should
this occur, connect your FreeStyle 5 to its AC or DC power
supply for a short period of time in order to provide sufficient
internal battery power to start the unit. AirBelt can then be
connected to provide additional run time.
Ensure the cannula is fully inserted and secure. This ensures that
the FreeStyle 5 unit can properly detect inspiration for oxygen
delivery.
