COMMUNICATION AND NAVIGATION AUDIO
OPERATION
Pressing any of the communication (COM) or navigation (NAV, ADF,
DME, AUX, or MKR) audio selector buttons enables the associated
audio and the LED above the button is lit. Pressing the same audio
selector button again turns the audio for that channel and the LED
above the button off. The pilot and copilot can select and listen to more
than one communication or navigation audio at a given time.

arrows is illuminated.
To toggle the offside transmit selection indication, press the right side of
the SPLIT button three (3) times within one and a half (1 1/2) seconds.
When the mode is activated, the NAV 1 indicator blinks once. When the
mode is toggled off, the NAV 1 indicator blinks twice. This mode
remains in effect until changed by the user, including power cycles.

pressed, both pilots’ microphones are directly connected to the
COM 1.
The PUSH EMG/OFF (Power On and Emergency/Off) switch is a two
position switch. One position is On (implied) and the other position is
