Do a search (I'm too lazy this morning) in the DIR forum on "necklace" and you'll come up with a great thread with a number of different ways to configure a necklace. They all have in common that the material of the necklace is elastic, and that it will pull away from the regulator under enough tension.
As already said, the clip on the primary is to secure it when it is not being used. It is not clipped off while you are breathing off it, although I can easily breathe off mine with it clipped if need be.
