20. Air should not be free-owing from the Smart Reg when the ON/OFF Knob is in the ON posion

unless the Purge Buon is pressed. If air is free-owing, refer to Secon 13.6 on Page 46.

21. Press the Purge Buon to conrm Nomad is on and funconing properly and to conrm water does

not come out of the Mouthpiece or exhaust vents. Air should ow out of the mouthpiece when the

user presses the Purge Buon. If water is coming out of the Smart Reg, refer to Secon 13.4 on

Page 45 for instrucons on clearing Nomad of water. If air is not owing, refer to Secon 14.5 on

Page 51.

Do NOT operate Nomad for more than 20 seconds while out of the water.

22. Place your lips over the outside of the Mouthpiece.

23. Exhale and cauously inhale from the Smart Reg to conrm that Nomad is funconing properly.

Air should ow from the mouthpiece into the user’s mouth upon gentle inhalaon. If air is not owing,

refer to Secon 14.5 on Page 51. Air should easily vent out of the Smart Reg upon exhalaon.
