Travel Tips
Airlines often have specific information about using oxygen while aboard a flight. Call them ahead of time to eliminate travel stress. Charge your device before your trip and bring extra batteries for peace of mind. Pack your DC Power Cord, that plugs into your automobile, to charge your device on the go.
