CESSNA SECTION 7
MODEL 182T AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION
The overhead speaker is located in the center overhead console.
Volume and output for this speaker is controlled through the audio
panel.
Each control wheel contains a miniature push-to-talk switch. This
switch allows the pilot or front passenger to transmit on the Com
radios using remote mics.
Each station of the airplane is wired for aviation-style headsets.
Mic and headphone jacks are located on each respective arm rest
and allow for communications between passengers and pilot. The
system is wired so that microphones are all voice-activated.
Additional wiring provisions inside the audio panel ensure that only
the pilot or front passenger can transmit through the com radios.
NOTE
To ensure audibility and clarity when transmitting with the
handheld microphone, always hold it as closely as possible
to the lips, then key the microphone and speak directly into
it. Avoid covering opening on back side of microphone for
optimum noise canceling.
AUXILIARY AUDIO INPUT JACK
An auxiliary audio input jack is located on the right hand side of
the pedestal. It allows entertainment audio devices such as
cassette players and compact disc players to play music through all
of the aircraft's headsets. For a more complete description and
operating instructions, refer to the Supplements, Section 9.
POWER CONVERTER
A power converter located in the tail of the aircraft reduces the
aircraft's 28 VDC power to 12 VDC. This converter provides up to
10 amps of power to operate portable devices such as notebook
computers and audio players. A single power output connector is
located on the pedestel cover. For a more complete description and
operating instructions, refer to the Supplements, Section 9.
