Prior to any flight verify proper
FSG 90F(X)
functions by means of a short
communications test. It has to be taken into account that with a faulty antenna or
cable this COM test may absolutely turn out positive at the airfield or in short distance
to the ground station. But at distances of 2 to 6 miles a faulty antenna and/or cable
will cause communication breakdown!
•
Push-to-Talk keys may stick occasionally. Therefore, observe while transmitting the
transmit (TX) symbol at the
FSG 90F(X)
display. This TX symbol must disappear
when releasing the PTT key. After 2 minutes continuous TX the built-in transmit time
out timer disables the transmitter in order to avoid continuous channel blocking.
Then, the whole display warns by continuous flashing. Refer to appropriate hints in
this manual.
•
Replace blown fuse only against correct type with specified nominal value.
Investigate the cause.
