Connects to FreeStyle unit
AirSep’s new universal power supply for the FreeStyle
Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC) is an all-in-one
way to keep you fully powered, yet traveling even lighter – wherever you go.
The universal power supply (Part Number PW022), described in this insert,
enables you to operate your unit while charging its internal battery – all from one
component – whether you are driving to the grocery market, taking a vacation
flight, or simply relaxing at a friend’s home. This universal power supply replaces
the two separate AC and DC power supplies that were previously packaged with
the FreeStyle unit and covered in your patient manual.
Your power supply kit is packed complete with three essential accessories, as
follows:
 •universalpowersupply(PW017-1),whichoperatesonACpower 
  from120-240voltsandwithmultipleDCpowersources,including 
automobile and airplane power

  forautomobile-typeoutletsandtheD-shaped,4-pinconnectorfor 

Note: FreeStyle’s internal battery will completely recharge from its fully
depleted state in approximately 3½hours, whether the unit is in use on AC or
DC power.

Start with the Universal Power Supply and FreeStyle Connection
For all procedures below, it is recommended that you first connect the universal
power supply to the FreeStyle POC inlet, as shown in Figure 2. Be sure to
properly connect to the unit by ensuring that the carrying case alignment with
the FreeStyle unit inlet allows you to obtain a secure connection so that the cord
“locks” in place.
When disconnecting the power supply from the FreeStyle POC, make sure you
press down on the tab near the end of the cord to properly disengage the
connection to the unit and release the cord.
