155
Description of Flight Deck Oxygen Mask
1 - Red Grips
Squeezing the (red) Right Hand Side grip unlocks the two-flap door and authorizes harness inflation.
2 - EMERGENCY pressure selector
This selector creates an overpressure, which eliminates condensation and prevents smoke, smell, or ashes from entering the mask.
Pressing this knob generates an overpressure for a few seconds.
Turning the knob in the direction of the arrow, generates a permanent overpressure.
Note: Overpressure supply is automatically started, when cabin altitude exceeds 30,000 feet. 3 - N/100% Selector
100% the mask delivers 100% oxygen ON DEMAND. The system is locked in this position when selected. When pressed the lever is released.
N- An air and oxygen supply will be given with the selector in Normal position (the content of which varies with cabin altitude).
Emergency & 100%- CONTINUOUS FLOW
Above 35,000 ft the air inlet is closed to give a 100% oxygen supply
156
To access oxygen masks, open cover then carry out the following actions.
1. Take the mask by squeezing the red grip and keep the red grip pressed.
2. Remove the mask. The harness inflates,
3. Don the mask (harness inflated).
4. Release the red grips. The harness deflates and maintains the mask.

All controls levers are on the inboard side of the seats. Opposite seat controls have the same functions.
158
The cabin's fixed oxygen system supplies oxygen to the occupants (passengers and Cabin Crew), in case of cabin depressurization.
Each chemical oxygen unit is made up of a solid-state chemical generator. Each generator feeds a group of 3 or 4 masks. Flexible supply hoses connect the masks to the chemical generators. The temperature of the generators reaches 180o F during Oxygen flow. Therefore, the smell of burning or smoke may be associated with the normal operation of the chemical generators.
159
Generators and mask are installed in containers above the passenger seats (PSU) in the cabin, in the lavatories (ceiling) and at each Cabin Crew station. The chemical generators are activated when the mask is pulled down. Pulling one mask down causes all the masks in that unit to drop and oxygen flows to all masks.
A green in-line indicator is visible in the transparent oxygen hose whenever oxygen is flowing to the mask. Oxygen flows for minimum 15 minutes and cannot be shut off.
All "PROHIBITION OF PED" and "FASTEN SEAT BELT" signs come on automatically if the cabin altitude should exceed 11,300 ft. or if the cabin oxygen system is deployed. A taped emergency message is broadcast over the PA system when the oxygen system is activated.
160
The chemical reaction used for Oxygen generation creates heat. Therefore, the smell of burning or smoke may be associated with the normal operation of the chemical generators.
ONCE ACTIVATED, OXYGEN GENERATION CANNOT BE STOPPED.
DO NOT RESTORE AN OXYGEN MASK, IF THE OXYGEN GENERATOR IS STARTED IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE SMELL OF BURNING OR FUMES
161
This continuous flow mask provides oxygen due to the loss of cabin pressurization during an emergency descent. It is made up of the following components:
1. Face piece
2. Reservoir bag
3. Elastic head strap
4. Flexible supply hose with Oxygen flow indicator

On some aircraft the oxygen flow indicator is located at the base of the reservoir bag.
165
Drop Down of the Oxygen Mask
The oxygen mask in the cabin may be dropped down in three ways:
1. Automatically, at a cabin altitude of approximately 14,000 ft.
2. Electrically, by using the switch (MASK MAN ON) on the pilot’s overhead panel.
3. Manually, by inserting the MRT or any pointed object in the access hole.
166

INTERPHONE POLICY
Cabin Crew should not hold the handset upside-down during announcements. Used upside-down the sensitivity of the handset is the least. The output level as well as the effect of the noise-cancelling feature is reduced.
Announcements can be hardly heard in the cabin or may be impossible to understand.
Do not stretch the handset cord over 2 meters (80 inches). This may cause damage to the cord supports at both ends of the cord and will lead to handset malfunction.
In order to avoid problems with broken housings, place the handset on the support bracket and push it gently to "click" it into its correct position. This way the handset will stay in its position under normal conditions.
If not placed correctly in the support bracket, the handset may fall out of its cradle, onto the cabin floor, and will be damaged.
