CHEROKEE SIX.3OO
The unit is equipped with a portable antenna to allow the locator to be removed from the
airplane in case of an emerpncy and used as a portable signal transmitter.
A pilot's remote switch, located on the left side panel, is provided to allow thc transmittcr
to be controlled from inside the cabin.
l.
On some models the pilot's remote switch has flrree positions and is placarded "ON,"
"AUTO/ARM," and "OFFIRESET." The switch is normally left in the
"AUTO/ARM" position. To turn the transmitter off, move the switch momentarily
to the "OFF/RESET" position. The aircraft master switch m.ust be "ON" to turn the
transmitter "OFF," To activate the transmitter for tests or other reasons, move the
switch upward to the e'ON" position and leave it in that position as long as
transmission is desired:
On other models the pilot's remote switch has two positions and is placarded
"ON/RESET" and "ARM (NORMAL POSITION)." Tlte switch is normally left in the
down or "ARM" position. To turn the transmitter off, move the switch to the
"ON/RESET" position for one second then return it to the "ARM' position. To
activate the transmitter for tests or other reasons, move the switch upward to the
"ON/RESET" position and leave it in that position as long as transmission is desired.
NOTE
If the switch has been placed in the "ON:' position for any
reason, the "OFF" position has to be selected before selecting
"ARM." lf "ARM" is selected directly from the "ON" position,
the unit will con.tinue to tran.srnit in the "ARM" position.
The locator should be checked during the ground check to make certain the unit has not
been accidentally activated. Check by tuning a radio receiver to 121.5 MHz. If there is an
oscillating sourrd, tlte locator may ltave been activated and should be turned off immcdiatcly.
Reset to the "ARM" position and check again to insure against outside interference.
NOTE
If for any reason a test transmission is necessary, the test
transmission .should be conducted only in the fint five minutes
of any hour and limited to three audio sweeps. If tests must be
made at any other time, the tests should be coordinated witlt the
nearest FAA tower or flight service station.
