7.37 FIRE EXTINGUISHER (PORTABLE)*
A portable fire extinguisher is mounted to the floor of the baggage
compartment directly behind the flight control console between the seats.
The extinguisher is suitable for use on liquid or electrical fires. It is operated
by aiming the nozzle at the base of the fire and squeezing the trigger grip.
Releasing the trigger automatically stops further discharge of the extinguishing
agent. Read the instructions on the nameplate and become familiar with
the unit before an emergency situation. The dry powder type extinguisher is
fully discharged in about 10 seconds, while the Halon 1211 type is discharged
in 15 to 20 seconds.
WARNING
The concentrated agent from extinguishers
using Halon 1211 or the by-products when
applied to a fire are toxic when inhaled.
Ventilate the cabin as soon as possible after fire
is extinguishd to remove smoke or fumes.
7.39 INTERCOM SYSTEM*
An optional intercom system is available. This system provides for
normal conversation between pilot and passenger. The system consists of a
headset with a boom microphone, with volume and tone controls mounted
in the instrument panel.
The communication between the pilot and the passenger is voice
activated when the system is turned on.
Radio communication between the pilot and/or the passenger and a
radio facility is initiated through push-to-transmit switches mounted on the
control wheels. A priority override feature allows either the pilot or
passenger to preempt the conversation between pilot and passenger to
respond to radio communication. Voice communication from a radio
facility is audible through the headset.
