>>unsubscriber in the vacuum receptacle to the rear. Activate by pressing the
>>blue button.
>>
>>The controls for System B are located on the opposite side. The red release

>>up or down by pressing the blue manual release button. The opening is
>>self-adjusting. To secure after use, press the green button, which

>>its storage position.
>>
>>You may log off if the green exit light is on over the evaporator. If the
>>red light is illuminated, one of the Cin-Eliminator requirements has not
>>been properly implemented. Press the "List Guy" call button on the right of
>>the evaporator. He will secure all facilities from his control panel.
>>
>>To use the Auto-Unsub, first undress and place all your clothes in the
>>clothes rack. Put on the Velcro(TM) slippers located in the cabinet
>>immediately below. Enter the shower, taking the entire kit with you. On the
>>control panel to your upper right upon entering you will see a "shower seal"
>>button. Press to activate. A green light will then be illuminated
>>immediately below. On the intensity knob, select the desired setting. Now

>>
>>The Auto-Unsub will automatically go off after three minutes unless you
>>activate the "Manual off" override switch by flipping it up. When you are
>>ready to leave, press the blue "Shower seal" release button. The door will
>>open and you may leave. Please remove the Velcro(TM) slippers and place them
>>in their container.
>>
>>If you prefer the ultrasonic log-off mode, press the indicated blue button.
>>When the twin panels open, pull forward by rings A & B. The knob to the
>>left, just below the blue light, has three settings, low, medium or high.
>>For normal use, the medium setting is suggested.
>>
>>After these settings have been made, you can activate the device by
>>switching to the "ON" position the clearly marked red switch. If during the

>>off" override switch in the "OFF" position. You may now make the change and
