When traveling, the carrying case is for carry-on luggage only. The carrying case will not protect
the system if it is put through checked baggage.
For your convenience at security stations, there is a note on the bottom of the device stating that
it is medical equipment. It may be helpful to bring this manual along with you to help security
personnel understand the BiPAP Plus M Series device.
If you typically use a humidifier with your device, but leave the humidifier home when traveling,
make sure you attach the air outlet port to your device when you remove the humidifier from the
device. You need the port to connect the tubing directly to your device. Figure 7–3 illustrates how
to remove the humidifier from the device and attach the air outlet port.
