Boarding And In-Flight Information - GCE Zen-O RS-00500 Manual De Usuario

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 qualified individual with a disability.
IMPORTANT: A bag with additional batteries that is required to power the Zen-O™ POC during
the flight could also be considered an assistive device. However, there are restrictions on the Watt
EN
Hour (Wh) rating of the battery which is limited to 100Wh per battery. 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. However,
spare lithium batteries are prohibited from being carried in checked baggage on an air-
craft.
8.2.3. Considerations Regarding Placement and Stowage of your Zen-O™ POC
In order for a Zen-O™ POC to work efficiently, the air/intake vents must not be blocked dur-
ing 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 insufficient. 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 underneath
the seat in front of you so that you or the flight 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 possibly prohib-
iting you from hearing audible warnings. Other placement locations may be acceptable as
deemed acceptable by the flight 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.
Stowage during Aircraft Movement - During movement on the surface (pushback from the
gate and taxi), take-off, and landing, the Zen-O™ 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
