3.0 PTT / Y-Adapter Set-Up
Up to 2 portable PTT switches can be used with this unit. The Pilot and Co-Pilot can connect a portable PTT
switch by connecting the portable PTT to the microphone jack in the Y-adapter. The Y-adapter plugs directly
into the aircraft microphone jack. The PTT is used to transmit over the radio to the ATC. The PTT can also
be connected in the conventional way in series with your headset and intercom jacks.
3.1 Battery Power
We recommend using one 9V alkaline battery to operate your intercom. The intercom can operate on one
battery for approximately 25-30 hours of maintenance free use. We recommend that you keep a log of when
your battery was installed so that you have a good idea when it should be replaced.
3.2 Expansion Module
The Expansion Module is included in the PA-200TE. The intercom can be converted to a 4-place intercom.
It includes the expansion box and cord that plugs directly into the jack labeled Passengers on the intercom.
3.3 Warranty Service
If your unit requires service we recommend you send it directly to Pilot Communications USA so the repair
or replacement can be expedited. Please remember you are sending an electronic component and package
the unit appropriately. We recommend FedEx or US Priority Mail. Please ship prepaid and enclose $12.00
for shipping & handling.
