CAUTION!
When traveling, the optional carrying case is for carry-on luggage
only. The carrying case will not protect the System if it is put through
checked baggage.
For ease at security stations, there is a note on the bottom of the
REMstar LX stating that it is medical equipment. It may be helpful
to bring this manual along with you to help security personnel under-
stand the REMstar LX.
If you are traveling to a country with a line voltage different than the
one you are currently using, an international plug adapter may be
required to make your power cord compatible with the power outlets of
the country to which you are traveling.
If you need a plug adapter, you
will probably need to change
the voltage setting
(115 V or 230 V) and the fuses.
Change the voltage setting and
install the appropriate fuses into
the REMstar LX before traveling.
Contact your home care provider
to order fuses. (See the
instructions for changing the fuses
in the “Routine Maintenance”
section.)
Contact Respironics International Customer Service department at
1-800-345-6443 (in the U.S. and Canada) or 1-412-731-2100 for more
information.
