                                           STEPS OF PERFORMANCE


                  A. Take out the casualty's CANA autoinjector. The CANA autoinjector
                  can be distinguished from the Mark I by its clear plastic packaging.
                  CANA is not for use as self-aid.  If you know who you are and where
                  you are, you most likely do not need CANA.

                                 00 NOT USE YOUR O'gN CANA ON THE CASUALTY.


                  S. Tear open protective plastic packet by pulling apart the split end
                  of the autoinjector.
