Basic Operation
Basic On, Off and Channel selection of the MLC is achieved by activating magnetic sensors inside the
unit using a Magnetic Key Controller (MKC) (supplied).
7.1
Turn MLC On
To turn an MLC on, momentarily bring the MKC
in line with the ‘On’ sensor on the unit’s top
panel (figure 5).
If the unit is already on, holding the MKC to the
On sensor for 2 seconds puts the unit in
Communication Mode (see later section)
7.2
Turn MLC Off
To turn an MLC off, momentarily bring the MKC
in line with the ‘Off’ sensor on the unit’s top
panel (figure 6).
If the unit is already off, bringing the MKC in line
with the ‘Off’ sensor, displays the battery status
(useful for a quick check without having to turn
the unit on)
The Off sensor is also used to put the MLC into
software update mode (see later section)
7.3
Select MLC Channel
Channels may be selected without a VHF radio.
With the unit switched on, momentarily bring the
MKC in line with the ‘Click’ sensor on the unit’s
top panel (figure 7) 3, 5 or 7 times within a 5
second period (just as the pilot would do via
VHF).
As each ‘click’ is detected the ‘Status’ LED will
light and, after the 5 second period, the selected
channel will be activated. (See later section for
defaults)
