AirSep’s 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• removable AC power cord			-CD023-2
US-style			-CD017-2
Euro-style, depending on usage location			-CD025-1
Australian-style, or			-CD017-4
UK-style• removable DC power cord, which incorporates both the connector 				 for automobile-type outlets and the D-shaped, 4-pin connector for 				EmPower®-type outlets commonly used on airlines (CD034-1)
Note: FreeStyle’s internal battery will completely recharge from its fully depleted
state in approximately 3½ hours, whether the unit is in use on AC or DC power.
