3. Charge the installed battery of the concentrator and
any supplemental batteries fully before you depart, thus
extending the operating time of the concentrator during
travel. Refer to Charging the Battery(s) in Setup.
4. Ensure the unit is free of all grease, oil, or other
petroleum products and that the unit is in good working
order, is free of damage, and the air filter is clean.
Refer to the Preventative Maintenance Checklist in

Traveling By Air
Arriving at the Airport
1. Allow the security agent to inspect your concentrator,
even if you are using it, when going through the security
checkpoint.
They are required to allow you to travel through
the checkpoint with your concentrator, but they
MUST inspect it for security reasons.
2. Use your AC power adapter while you are in the airport,
if possible. This will keep the battery(s) at full charge
and give you the most battery powered operating time
on the aircraft.
Boarding the Plane
You are not permitted to sit in an exit row if you
plan to use your concentrator at any time during
the flight.

1. If you plan on using the concentrator the entire time
you are on the plane, verify that your concentrator does
not block access to an emergency exit or aisle way. If it
does, request a seat change.
2. In order for the flight crew to ensure the safety of you
and all of the other passengers on the flight, allow them
to inspect the concentrator to confirm that it is FAA
approved for use on the flight.
3. If you are not planning to use your concentrator
during taxi, takeoff, or landing, you MUST store it in
an approved storage area so it does not block the row
or aisle access.
Contact the flight crew about location of
approved storage areas.
On the Plane
You MUST store the supplemental battery either
securely connected to the concentrator or in your
carry-on baggage. The supplemental battery MUST
be protected from damage and shorting out the
external power connector.
