3. The plug should insert into the socket without excessive force and securely remain in
place. The Cigarette Lighter Adapter comes with a slide switch pre-adjusted to the narrow
position. This will fit most automobile cigarette lighter sockets. If the Cigarette Lighter
Adapter is loose in the socket, adjust the switch to the "wide" position.
4. Ensure that the automobile power socket is adequately fused for the Inogen One® G2
power requirements (minimum 15 Amp).
WARNING The tip of the Cigarette Adapter Plug becomes HOT when in use. Do not touch
! C
the tip immediately after removal from an auto cigarette lighter socket.
CAUTION Ensure the automobile power socket is clean of cigarette ash and the adapter
plug fits properly, otherwise overheating may occur.
CAUTION Do not use the Universal Power Supply with a cigarette plug splitter or with
an extension cable. This may cause overheating of the DC power input cable.
CAUTION
Do not jump start the automobile with the Universal Power Supply connected.
This may lead to voltage spikes which could shut down and/or damage the
Universal Power Supply.
CAUTION When powering the Inogen One® G2 in an automobile ensure the engine is
running. Operating the device without the engine running may drain the car
battery.
Traveling By Air
The FAA allows the Inogen One® G2 onboard all U.S. aircraft, here are a few points to make air
travel easy.
Planning your Flight
When flying with the Inogen One® G2, you must inform the airline that you will be using your
Inogen One® G2 onboard the aircraft. You must also keep a signed statement from
your physician with you that includes:
• Your ability to see/hear alarms and appropriately respond.
• When oxygen use is necessary (all or a portion of the trip).
• Maximum flow rate corresponding to the pressure in the cabin under normal operating
conditions.

• A new statement will not be necessary each time you fly, but the statement should be
available during every flight.
• Some airlines may equip their aircraft with onboard electrical power. You may have an
opportunity to request a seat with a power port which can be used to power your Inogen One®
G2. However, availability varies by airline, type of aircraft and class of service. You should check
with your airlines for availability and always plan on having sufficient battery power for the
duration of your flight, plus a conservative estimate of unanticipated delays.
• Because aircraft use different power port configurations, your Universal Power Supply is
equipped for use with two separate DC power adapters – a commonly used cigarette lighter
adapter, and a less common four-pin adapter (sold separately). Since it is difficult to determine
which type of power supply your aircraft will have, it's a good idea to keep both adapters
available when flying.
Before your Flight
Here are some things to keep in mind the day your flight departs:
• Ensure your Inogen One® G2 is clean, in good condition and free from damage or other signs
of excessive wear or abuse.
• Bring enough charged batteries with you to power your Inogen One® G2 for the duration of
the flight plus a conservative estimate of unanticipated delays.
• Regional/Commuter airlines do not offer onboard electrical power. If your travel plans call for
flights on regional airlines, you will need sufficient battery power for the duration of the flight,
plus a conservative estimate of unanticipated delays.
CAUTION
Airlines may not be equipped to provide backup oxygen.
• Arrive at the airport early. Airport security screening personnel may require extra time to
inspect your Inogen One® G2.
• While waiting to board your flight, you may be able to conserve battery power by using the
Universal Power Supply to power your Inogen One® G2 from an electrical outlet in the airport
terminal if available.
• You should inform the airline you will be using your Inogen One® G2. Have your physician
letter with you and ready for inspection if requested.
