3.2 Power and Fail Safe (1)
Unit power is turned on and off by pushing the volume knob (1). There is a built in delay to prevent acci-
dental shut off while adjusting the intercom volume in turbulent conditions. In the
OFF or "EMG" position,
the pilot headset is connected directly to Com 1 as well as unswitched input #1. This allows communication
capability regardless of unit condition. Any time power is removed or turned
OFF , the audio selector will
revert to fail-safe mode.
The power switch controls all audio selector panel functions, intercom and marker beacon receiver. All
transceiver and receiver selections will be remembered and return to the last state when turned on.
