8.2. BOARDING AND IN FLIGHT INFORMATION
8.2.1. Carry-on baggage
Your Zen-O™ POC is an assistive device. In this case, carriers shall not, in implementing
their carry-on baggage policy, count the Zen-O™ POC toward a limit on carry-on items
brought into the cabin by a qualifi ed individual with a disability.
IMPORTANT: A bag with additional batteries that is required to power the Zen-O™ POC
during the fl ight could also be considered an assistive device. However, there are re-
strictions on the Watt Hour (Wh) rating of the battery which is limited to 100Wh per bat-
EN
tery. For your Zen-O™ POC, the Watt Hour (Wh) rating is less than 100Wh per battery
maximum, therefore no limitation will be imposed.
8.2.2. Zen-O™ POC as Checked Baggage
Your Zen-O™ POC may be carried on aircraft as a carry-on or as checked baggage. How-
ever, 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™ POC
In order for a Zen-O™ POC to work e ciently, the air/intake vents must not be blocked
during use. Therefore, the area around the Zen-O™ 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™ POC output is insu -
cient. Second, when the temperature of the Zen-O™ POC internal components increases
to a certain limit because the Zen-O™ POC is still trying to dispense oxygen, the Zen-O™
POC will automatically shut down to prevent overheating of the Zen-O™ POC and you will
be alerted by warning lights and/or audible alerts.
Placement of Zen-O™ - Onboard an aircraft the Zen-O™ POC should be placed under-
neath the seat in front of you so that you or the fl ight attendant can see the warning lights
and/or hear the audible warning. Placement directly under your seat and placement in a
closed compartment would prohibit you from seeing the warning lights, as well as pos-
sibly 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™ POC On Board
an Aircraft
Exit Row Seating - The FAA prohibits passengers that use any assistive device including
Zen-O™ from occupying an exit seat.
