Respironics DreamStation Series Devices
The DC input port on Respironics DreamStation series devices require a
proprietary signal in order to recognize a valid power source; therefore,
the use of a 12V power adapter is required in conjunction with the
Freedom
TM
CPAP Battery.
Our 12V power adapter was designed specifically for use with Respironics
DreamStation series devices and the Freedom
TM
CPAP Battery.
REQUIRED COMPONENTS
 Freedom
TM
CPAP Battery Kit
 DreamStation 12V Power Adapter
SINGLE BATTERY CONNECTION
 Plug the 12V power adapter into the DC OUT jack of the battery.
 Plug the 12V power adapter into the DC input port of the PAP device.
 Turn the PAP device on and it should begin functioning.
 The digital display screen will show the charge level of the battery.
You may press the charge level indicator button to illuminate this
screen. It will stay illuminated for a few seconds at a time.

The Freedom
TM
CPAP Battery meets current FAA requirements for spare
lithium-ion batteries (batteries not installed in a device) taken in carry-on
baggage as each battery is less than 100 Wh (97.68 Wh) and is protected
from damage and short circuit.
Spare lithium-ion batteries are not allowed in checked baggage and must
only be taken in carry-on baggage. TSA security, individual airline, and
international rules may, at times, be more restrictive. If you are planning
to use the battery during flight it is recommended that you contact your
airline as they may have specific requirements regarding the use of PAP
devices and/or lithium-ion batteries during flight.
Air Travel Usage
Power Backup Usage
The Freedom
TM
CPAP Battery can be used as a true battery backup system
for your PAP device during power outages. When you sleep you may leave
your PAP device connected to the Freedom
TM
battery and then plug the
battery into a wall outlet and in the event AC power is lost the battery will
automatically begin powering your PAP device uninterrupted.
When AC power (power from a wall outlet) is available it will bypass the
lithium-ion cells within the Freedom
TM
battery and power your PAP device
normally without degrading the overall lifespan of the battery (the cells of
the battery will not continuously charge and then discharge).
You may use the Freedom battery in this power backup scenario using a
single battery or in the dual battery confirguration; however, in the dual
battery configuration you will need to purchase an additional DC
power pigtail cord in order to connect both batteries to the AC power
supply and then both batteries to your PAP device.
When you are not using your PAP device, disconnect it from the DC OUT
jack of the battery and unplug the AC Power supply from the DC IN jack of
the battery so the battery can completely shut down.
