(from the manual): 1) The MH EDS-O2D2 will produce a two second Red light and a two-=20 second series of beeps sound to indicate that the oxygen flow from the tank has stopped. This typically means that the oxygen =20 supply is depleted; the supply line has been pinched closed, is plugged up or has come off; or the valve has failed to open. 2) The MH EDS-O2D2 will produce a visible Red light (2 flashes) and =20 audible (2 beep) Apnea alarm to indicate that the pressure drop indicating breathing has not occurred within the past 45 =20= seconds. This typically occurs for the following reasons: (1) The user has quit breathing for 45 seconds or the cannula/face =20 mask is improperly worn. (2) The outlet tube from the MH EDS-O2D2 to the mask or cannula has become disconnected. (3) The =20 outlet tubing has become pinched closed or is plugged off. The apnea alarm can be used as a =93put-your-oxygen-on=94 alarm = once =20 you get to the preset D mode altitude (D5 or D10).

I inherited my system with the Legacy and it warns me when I start =20 breathing through my mouth instead of the cannula. It certainly =20 would help detect a low tank or stopped flow. On a number of flights =20= where I am busy with flying I've heard the warning and it has helped =20 prevent problems. I agree these units are great.
