NOTE
For
safety
reasons,
no
smoking
should
be
allowed
in the
aircraft
while
oxygen
is
being
used.
When
ready
to
use
the
oxygen
system,
proceed
as
follows:
(1)
Select
mask
and
hose.
NOTE
The hose
provided
for
the
pilot
is
of
a
higher
flow
rate
than those for
the
passengers;
it is color-coded
with
an
orange
band
adjacent
to
the
plug-in
fitting.
The
passen-
ger
hoses
are
color-coded
with
a
green
band.
If
the
air-~
craft
owner
prefers,
he
may
provide
higher
flow
hoses
for
all
passengers.
In
any
case,
it is
recommended
that
the
pilot
use
the
larger
capacity
hose. The
pilot's
mask
is
equipped
with
a
microphone
to
facilitate
use
of
the
radio
while
using
oxygen.
*
An
adapter
cord
is
furnished
with
the
microphone-equipped
mask to mate the
mask
micro-
phone
lead
to
the
auxiliary
microphone
jack
located
under
the
left
side
of
the
instrument
panel.
To
connect
the
oxy-
gen
mask
microphone,
connect the
mask
lead
to the
adapter
cord and
plug
the
cord into
the
auxiliary
microphone
jack.
(In
aircraft
that
are
equipped
with the
optional
boom
micro-
phone,
it
will
be
necessary
to
disconnect
the boom
micro-
phone
lead
from
the
auxiliary
microphone
jack
so
that
the
adapter
cord from
the
oxygen
mask
microphone can
be
plugged
into the
jack.)
A
switch
is
incorporated
on
the
left
hand
control
wheel to
operate
the
microphone.
(2)
Attach
mask
to face
and
adjust
metallic
nose

(3)
Select
oxygen
outlet
located
nearest

you

When
the

at the
proper
rate
of flow
for
any
altitude
without
any
manual
adjustments.
(4)
Position

supply
control
knob
