the System
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.
Security Stations For convenience at security stations,
there
is a
note
on the
bottom
of the
REMstar
Plus stating
that
it is medical equipment. It may be helpful to bring this
manual along
with
you to help security personnel understand the
REMstar
Plus.
Checking the
Power
Cord
If
you are traveling to a country
with
a line
voltage different than the one you are currently
using,
a different power cord or an interna-
tional
plug
adapter
may be required to make
your power cord compatible
with
the power
outlets of the country to
which
you are
traveling.
Contact your
home
care provider
for
additional information.
