The DC/DC converter is the system that recharges the auxiliary battery. If the
auxiliary battery is not being recharged, it will discharge during flight and air-
craft instruments and essential systems will eventually become inoperative.
CAUTION: The system controller is powered by a DC/DC converter/aux bat-
tery. Also motor power will eventually be lost when aux battery is discharged.

In the case of power lever communication failure, the power setting can't

munication loss. The pilot has to evaluate the situation and assess whether
there's enough power available to sustain level flight or return to base.
Expect the following caution message to appear:
