EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER
DESCRIPTION
The emergency locator transmitter (ELT) is a self contained battery operated unit, located in the top left side of the aft fu-
selage. When the aircraft is subjected to excessive longitudinal forces, the ELT is automatically activated and transmits on
121.5 (VHF), 243.0 MHz (UHF) and 406.025 MHz. When the ELT is transmitting, an ELT ON (C) CAS message
is illuminated.
The flight deck ELT switch is normally set to ARM. The ON position is for system test, or to manually activate the ELT.
The RESET position resets the ELT.
An ELT buzzer is installed in the rear fuselage section near a venting cutout. It is installed so that the buzzer alarm will not
distract the flight crew, but will be audible during ground operations and servicing when the engines are not operating.
CABIN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
DESCRIPTION
The cabin communication system option provides a private automatic branch exchange switching network. This network
routes voice and data communications for up to nine optional active devices (handsets/FAXs/modems/data link, etc.) in the
airplane and provides two air-to-ground channels. The systems includes connections of basic telephone/telecomputing
equipment to UHF antenna and SATCOM links. If a data link device is installed on the airplane, the cabin communication
system has the capability to communicate with the data link device using an internal modem.
COMPONENTS AND OPERATION
The digital radio components consist of: one UHF antenna, a duplexer and one airborne radio telecommunication unit.The
digital handset is located in the flight compartment and has a backlit LCD display and telephone style keypad to dial calls
and select various options. A credit card reader (for optional billing) is built into the handset and a two-button increase/
decrease volume control (side of handset) is also installed.
Refer to the Magnastar C-2000 user guide CA1030 for description/function and operation of the system.

PC interfaces and is capable of full format and graphic printing of information from Central Aircraft
Information Maintenance System (CAIMS) and DATALINK.
COMPONENTS AND OPERATION
The printer can be used to print selected messages and weather data sent to it via the airborne data link system. The printer
