3.5Marker Beacon Operation

The Marker Beacon Receiver uses visual and audio indicators to alert you when the air- craft passes over a 75 MHz transmitter.

The audio from the Marker Beacon Receiver can be heard by selecting the "MKR" push- button switch.

A three-position switch is used to set the receiver sensitivity and to test the indicator lamps. Use "HIGH" sensitivity initially. This allows you to hear the outer marker beacon about a mile out. Then select the “LOW” sensitivity to give you a more accurate location of the Marker. When used only for approach markers, many pilots choose to leave the switch in the low sensitivity position.

The momentary down switch position is labeled "T/M" (Test/Mute) and illuminates all three lamps simultaneously to assure they are in working order.

The “T/M” position is also a Marker Beacon “Mute” function. Pushing this switch while receiving a marker beacon signal will cause the audio to be temporarily silenced. No ac- tion is required to restore the audio in time for the next beacon.

3.6Telephone Operation (if equipped with approved system)

Each intercom position has a "hook switch." The pilot's hook switch is the "TEL" mode on the mic selector, the others are individual switches mounted adjacent to the headset jacks.
