The flow indicator will remain black. The flow indicator will momentarily show a yellow cross. 60 To check the crew oxygen 1) Mask unstowed , NORMAL/100% switch - 100%. 2) RESET/TEST slide lever - push down and hold. 3) Observe a momentary yellow cross (FLOW INDICATOR) 4) EMERGENCY/TEST selector - rotate clockwise. 1) Mask stowed , NORMAL/100% switch - 100%. 2) RESET/TEST slide lever - push down and hold. 3) Observe a momentary yellow cross (FLOW INDICATOR) 4)EMERGENCY/TEST selector - push and hold. 5) Observe a constant yellow cross (FLOW INDICATOR) 1) Mask stowed , NORMAL/100% switch - NORMAL. 2) RESET/TEST slide lever - push down and hold

3) Observe a constant yellow cross (FLOW INDICATOR) 4) EMERGENCY/TEST selector - push and hold. 5) Observe a momentary yellow cross (FLOW INDICATOR) 61 The passenger oxygen mask stowage units are activated Automatically by a barometric pressure switch when the cabin altitude is 14,000 Feet or when the PASS OXYGEN switch on the overhead panel is positioned to NORMAL. Automatically by a barometric pressure switch when the cabin altitude is 10,000 Feet or when the PASS OXYGEN switch on the overhead panel is positioned to ON. Automatically by a barometric pressure switch when the cabin altitude is 14,000 Feet, or when the PASS OXYGEN switch on the overhead panel is positioned to ON. 62 Crew oxygen system pressure is correctly indicated when The battery switch is on.
