[Note: gentle music fades in. A female voice reads out the following passage.]
Before we take off, your captain asks that you familiarise yourself with our safety procedures and equipment.

[Note: music fades away.]

Lets look first at the safety features immediately around your seat.

[Note: the animation changes to show a "fasten seatbelt" sign.]

Whenever the sign is on, fasten your seatbelt securely. Insert the metal tag into the buckle and tighten by pulling on the loose end. We'll provide extension seatbelts for infants.

When seated we recommend you keep your seatbelt securely fastened even when the sign is off, but to undo the belt, simply lift up the metal flap on the buckle and pull apart.

[Note: the animation changes to show an oxygen mask coming down.]

If the cabin air system should fail, oxygen masks will be released from the panel just above your seat. Stay in your seat and pull the mask towards you to open your oxygen supply. Place it over your mouth and nose as quickly as possible and adjust the band to secure it. Then breath normally. Do make sure your own mask is correctly fitted before helping anyone else.

[Note: the animation changes to show the member of cabin crew wearing a lifejacket.]

Your lifejacket is either beside or underneath your seat. To use it, take it out of the container and place it over your head. Pass the tapes around your waist and tie them securely in a double bow at your side. Inflate your lifejacket when you leave the aircraft. We'll supply life cots for babies and lifejackets for infants.

In the unlikely event of the aircraft having to make an emergency landing, you'll be told to take this protective brace position which is shown on your safety card. High-heeled shoes must be taken off as they may tear the evacuation slide.

[Note: gentle music fades in.]

We will now explain how to leave the aircraft in an emergency.

[Note: music fades away.]

Move quickly to the closest usable exit leaving your hand baggage behind. Emergency lighting at floor level will help you find your way to the exits. These are clearly signed. Your crew will now point out the exits nearest to you.

[Note: the animation changes to show the aircraft door positions.]

The doors are opened by moving the handle in the direction of the red arrow. Opening the doors automatically inflates the evacuation slides. The slide can also be inflated by pulling this handle. Jump onto the slide and move away from the aircraft. If the aircraft has landed on water these slides detach to form rafts.

As you leave the aircraft, inflate your lifejacket by pulling the red tag. If necessary, blow into this mouthpiece to top up the air. A light will come on automatically on contact with water and there's a whistle for attracting attention. [Note: a whistle can be heard.]

[Note: gentle music fades in and the animation changes to show a "no smoking" sign and a "no electronic equipment" sign.]

We'd like to remind you that smoking is not permitted onboard this flight and that portable electronic equipment may interfere with the aircraft systems. Games and word processing equipment must be switched off for take off and landing, and mobile phones for the duration of the flight.

Always make sure your hand baggage isn't blocking the aisles or exits. It should be put under the seat infront of you or in an overhead locker, but place items in the locker carefully as they may fall and injure someone.

As we prepare for take off please make sure that your tray table is put away, your seat is upright and your armrest is down. Please stow your handset, individual video screen and leg rest if you have them.

Finally take a look at the safety card in the seat pocket in front of you. If you have any questions please ask your crew. We hope you have a relaxed and enjoyable flight.
