-

2. Fully Charged Batteries
Before you leave, charge all batteries and bring extras. Every one of our machines, including the NT-02 and NT-08G, supports additional battery packs for extended use. This is especially important for longer car rides or full-day events.
Pro Tip: Keep an extra battery in your travel bag and one in your car. Always have backup power.
3. Power Adapters & Chargers
Carry both AC and DC power cords. All five machines support car charging (DC power), which means you can recharge while driving to your destination.
Travel tip for oxygen machine users: Label your cords clearly and pack them in a small, zippered pouch to avoid tangling.
4. Carrying Case or Backpack
Protect your concentrator and stay hands-free. Most models like the NT-06 and NT-08G come with ergonomic carrying bags or backpacks. Choose one that has space for cables, spare filters, and accessories.
5. Extra Filters and Accessories
Dust and pollen can affect oxygen machine performance. Include spare filters in your kit—especially if you're visiting new environments or going outdoors. The NT-06 includes 3 replacement filters and an 8-stage filtration system for high purity.
6. User Manual or Quick Guide
Even if you know your machine well, having the manual on hand is helpful in case of troubleshooting. Machines like the NT-05 and NT-02 have smart panels, but keeping instructions nearby gives extra confidence.
7. Remote Control (If Applicable)
Some units, like the NT-06, come with remote controls for added convenience. This is great if you're using the concentrator while resting in the car or at a picnic.
8. Water & Hydration Supplies
Oxygen therapy can cause dry throat or nasal passages. Stay hydrated with bottled water, and pack a small lip balm or saline spray to stay comfortable.
9. Comfort Items
Lightweight jackets, a hat, or a cooling towel can help regulate body temperature while you’re out. Stay cool and shaded, especially during peak hours.
10. Service Contact Information
In case of emergency or if you experience technical issues, always keep Oxygenvip’s customer service number in your phone or wallet. Our support team is available nationwide with service centers ready to assist you.
