General Charging Information; Typical Battery Recharge Time - CHART CAIRE FreeStyle Manual Del Usuario

To check the battery charge when it is not installed
in the FreeStyle or FreeStyle 5, turn the battery on
its back and press the TEST button. The battery
gauge indicator lights (25-100%) will illuminate to
the right of the TEST button to indicate the level of
the battery pack charge.
INITIAL CHARGING:
The new battery supplied with your FreeStyle
or FreeStyle 5 is only partially charged when it
is shipped from the factory. Before using for the
first time, you should fully charge the battery pack
using either AC or DC power.

GENERAL CHARGING INFORMATION:

The FreeStyle and FreeStyle 5 will recharge
the battery pack anytime it is installed in the
concentrator and the concentrator is connected to
an external AC or DC power source.
While charging a fully discharge battery, the
25% battery gauge indicator light on top of the
FreeStyle or FreeStyle 5 will begin by blinking
rapidly for a few minutes, and then start to blink
at a slower rate (every ½ second). The LED will
continue to blink until 25% battery capacity is
reached. The LED will then turn solid. Each of the
4 battery gauge indicator lights (25-100%) will
blink as stated above during charging, then turn
solid when they reach capacity.
When all 4 of the battery gauge indicator lights are
solid, the battery is fully charged. The lights will
remain on for a short period of time to indicate a
full charge, and will then turn off.
Alternately, the battery pack may be charged using
the optional desktop charger. Reference the manual
for the desktop charger (MN221) for instructions
on its operation.
