The ACS 296 senses the incoming receive audios and displays the active status on the the front
panel. The active status is indicated by a glowing green LED. The intensity of the indicator is
controlled by a photo sensor located on the front of the ACS 296; as the ambient light conditions
change in the cockpit or cabin, so will the LED intensity.
