8.2.2. Zen-Olite™ POC as Checked Baggage

Your Zen-Olite™ POC may be carried on aircraft as a carry-on or as checked baggage.

However, spare lithium batteries are prohibited from being carried in checked baggage

on an aircraft.

8.2.3. Considerations Regarding Placement and Stowage of your Zen-Olite™ POC

In order for a Zen-Olite™ POC to work eﬃ ciently, the air/intake vents must not be blocked

during use. Therefore, the area around the Zen-Olite™ POC should be clear of blankets,

coats, and other pieces of carry-on baggage that may block the air/intake vents. If the

air/intake vents are blocked, two things will occur. First, you will be alerted by warning

lights and/or audible alerts that the oxygen concentration in the Zen-Olite™ POC output

is insuﬃ cient. Second, when the temperature of the Zen-Olite™ POC internal compo-

nents increases to a certain limit because the Zen-Olite™ POC is still trying to dispense

oxygen, the Zen-Olite™ POC will automatically shut down to prevent overheating of the

Zen-Olite™ POC and you will be alerted by warning lights and/or audible alerts.

Placement of Zen-Olite™ - Onboard an aircraft the Zen-Olite™ POC should be placed

underneath the seat in front of you so that you or the ﬂ ight attendant can see the warn-

ing lights and/or hear the audible warning. Placement directly under your seat and place-

ment in a closed compartment would prohibit you from seeing the warning lights, as well

as possibly prohibiting you from hearing audible warnings. Other placement locations

may be acceptable as deemed acceptable by the ﬂ ight attendant.

8.2.4. Seating Restrictions for Passengers who Plan to use a Zen-Olite™ POC On

Board an Aircraft

Exit Row Seating - The FAA prohibits passengers that use any assistive device including

Zen-Olite™ from occupying an exit seat.

Stowage during Aircraft Movement - During movement on the surface (pushback from

the gate and taxi), take-oﬀ , and landing, the Zen-Olite™ POC must be stowed properly

and in such a manner that it does not restrict passenger access to any exit or the aisle in

the passenger compartment. Additional seating restrictions may be necessary to comply

with these FAA safety rules. For example:

1. Some seats on an aircraft, such as bulkhead seats, may or may not have approved

stowage space to accommodate a Zen-Olite™ POC during movement on the surface,

take-oﬀ , and landing. Therefore, the Zen-Olite™ POC may not be able to be stowed

properly during these phases of ﬂ ight if the Zen-Olite™ user occupies those seats. In

this case, a seating restriction may apply
