Page 4: Theory Of Operation
THEORY OF OPERATION The AMCVIS-D (p/n 500.7045) provides up to five personnel with a two way intercom capability. All headset station ports have common capabilities. The AMCVIS-D provides the five users with the ability to simultaneously monitor two, 2-way radios---connected to the AMCVIS---and to transmit on one of them. -
