FreeStyle Comfort
Travel Information
The FreeStyle Comfort meets FAA guidelines for use
on-board commercial aircraft. Prior to any travel (airline,
train, cruise, etc.) you should:
• Ensure the concentrator is in good operation condition.
• Contact your carrier at least 48 hours prior to departure
to inform them you will be traveling with a FreeStyle
Comfort.
It is suggested to always carry extra batteries with you on
trips. For airline travel, please allow enough battery life
to account for ground time (preflight check in, security,
etc.) and layovers. Most airlines require that you have an
adequate number of fully charged battery packs to power
the device for at least 150% of the expected maximum trip
duration (flight times, ground time before and after the
flight, connections, and unexpected delays).
Note: If flying, it is recommended that extra batteries are
carried on in a secure carrying
FAA REGULATION
Spare batteries must be individually protected to prevent
short circuits by placement in the original retail packaging
or by otherwise insulating the terminals, e.g. by taping
over exposed terminals or placing each battery in a
separate plastic bag or protective pouch, and carried in
carry-on baggage only.

Battery Power
POC can be used on an aircraft per normal operating
procedures using Battery Power ONLY, when no external
power source is connected
External Power
On an airplane, if an electrical outlet is available, operable,
and its location is appropriate for use as a POC power
source, it may serve as a back up to POC batteries. In this
case, the following recommended procedure regarding the
transition from battery to aircraft electrical power must be
followed:
1. Turn POC On using Battery Power ONLY, when no
external power source is connected.
2. Enable Airplane Mode - Press and hold both Up and
Down buttons for 5 seconds until you hear a long beep
and see the Airplane symbol appear.
3. When the airplane symbol is displayed, plug in the POC.
Note: Due to aircraft limitations, the batteries do not
charge in Airplane Mode.
