NOTE
When smoke or fumes are present, the mask can be set to provide
positive pressure to prevent smoke or fumes from infiltrating the
mask and to provide airflow to clear the goggles. Push the
N-100% control tab in toward the mask to the 100% position and
turn the EMERGENCY control knob to the EMERGENCY position.
After donning the goggles, open the goggle vent on the bridge of
the mask by pulling the slide fully downward.
CAUTION
Use of 100% oxygen and/or the EMERGENCY pressurized
breathing function will significantly decrease the duration of
available oxygen.
A flow indicator (blinker) into the oxygen tubing signals the proper flow.
Depending on the specific airplane configuration, refer to the mask manufacturer's
documentation available on the
Four permanently-connected passenger constant-flow type masks that cover the
nose and mouth are installed in two containers on the cabin ceiling. The opening
of these containers and the deployment of the masks are controlled:
-
by the pilot, when the OXYGEN switch is set to ON and the PASSENGER
OXYGEN switch is set to DEPLOY,
-
or automatically at a cabin altitude between 13,000 ft and 14,000 ft with the
OXYGEN switch set to ON.
Oxygen flow to the passenger masks is obtained when the passenger pulls on the
lanyard to release the connected pin. The green bag on the oxygen mask inflates
when oxygen flow is obtained.
WARNING
Smoking is strictly prohibited when the oxygen system is in use.
Before using oxygen, remove any trace of oil, grease, soap and other
fatty substances (including lipstick, make-up, etc.) on the user's face.
