With your EverGo system and proper advance planning, you can enjoy

traveling within your community and beyond. Before you leave, make sure you

pack the following:

• Fully charged battery(s) (and extra batteries for a long trip)
• Power supply and AC power cord
• DC power cord

Also, be sure to take the telephone numbers of your home care provider and

physician in case of an emergency.

By Air

Note: Every airline has policies for travel with portable oxygen concentrators

such as your EverGo device. Some airlines do not permit their use while flying

on their aircraft. When you make your reservation, be sure to ask the airline

for their policy regarding use of your EverGo during flight.

When flying in the U.S. and abroad, commercial airlines may have unusual

requirements for oxygen concentrators. Before you fly, contact all of your

airlines on each of your connecting flights for permission to carry your EverGo

system on board. Be sure to ask about any documentation you may need to

bring with you.
Make sure your battery(s) is fully charged and that you have enough battery

power for the duration of your flight. If your airline allows you to connect to

its DC power source or other external automotive/marine 12 VDC batteries,

be sure to remove both internal batteries before connecting the EverGo. The

airline AC power source must not be used to operate the EverGo.
On the day of your flight, plan to arrive early. Airport security officers may need

extra time to clear your luggage and oxygen system. They may also ask you to

remove the carrying case from the EverGo device for inspection.

Note: DO NOT remove the EverGo carrying case until a security officer

specifically instructs you to do so.
