the cell. This ply forms a floating baffle, which is free to move between the front and rear panels depending on the gas volume in each chamber.

WARNING: The MSV971 is configured with a manual inflation system and will not automatically inflate when immersed in water.

2.4.3Normal manual inflation by carbon dioxide gas (CO2), fully inflates the rear chamber. The front chamber may be inflated by mouth only, and provides for redundancy in an event where the rear chamber becomes damaged or requires topping up.

2.4.4When inflated, the cell forms a yoke around the back of the user's neck, extending into two lobes down the user's chest.

2.4.5A cell anchor strip is permanently attached to the rear panel of the inflatable cell to permit attachment of the cell to the protective container by means of an interlocking (Dutch style) speed lacing loop system.
