Can I travel with the monitor?
Yes. The monitor weighs about a pound, fits in a suitcase, and should pass easily through airport security. Make sure to bring your Device Identification Card in case you are questioned by airport security. The monitor works via a SIM card just like a mobile phone. As long as there is adequate cellular coverage in the country you are travelling to, your MyCareLink monitor should work as normal.
