4.0 Fail-Safe Feature
The PA-400ST intercom is equipped with a Fail-Safe feature. This means if your batteries fail, you will still
be able to hear ATC transmission - but the level of volume will be reduced. If this should occur, you can
connect the auxiliary power cord, supplied with your intercom, to the cigarette lighter jack in the aircraft.
4.1 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 PTT’s microphone plug to its’ Y-adapter. The Y-adapter would plug directly into the
aircraft.
