Operating the NavTalk Pilot from the Aircraft
Adapter
For the NavTalk Pilot to operate in the air cellular
mode, it must be connected to the aircraft adapter cord
installed in your aircraft. Connection to the adapter
automatically switches the unit from ground based
cellular operation to air cellular operation. Air cellular
will function only when the unit is connected to the
adapter in the aircraft.
To connect the NavTalk Pilot to the aircraft
adapter:
1. Locate the aircraft adapter cord. It should be stored
on the two hooks at the bottom of NavTalk Pilot
Cradle Assembly. (Upper right figure)
2. Connect the plug end of the cord into the slot at
the bottom of the NavTalk Pilot. The plug is
indexed to fit only one way. (Lower right figure)
Press the springs on each side of the plug to fit it
into the base of the unit. Press the springs again to
remove the plug.
3. Turn on power to the aircraft and then turn on the
NavTalk Pilot as explained on page 15 to check for
proper connection. When the unit is operating from
aircraft power the ‘Power Status’ icon will appear as
an airplane symbol ( ). For additional
information about ‘Power Status’ icons see page 19.
The Navtalk Pilot is designed to operate in the hand
while connected to the adapter cord, allowing proper
viewing of the screen and access to controls. However,
when not in use or when operation of the controls is not
required, it can be placed in the cradle for easy access when
needed (see page 14). The Adapter Cord must be
connected to the unit for air cellular operation and when
connected to the adapter the unit cannot be used for
ground based cellular communication. Mic gain and
volume controls for use in the air cellular mode are
independent of the same functions when the unit is used in
the battery mode or in a vehicular adapter configuration.
Thus readjustment of these features is not necessary. Refer
to pages 16 and 128 for setting of mic and speaker volume.
