General 
The cockpit voice recorder system has an internal BITE circuit that lets you monitor and do a test of system operation. A TEST switch on the control panel lets you manually start the system 
test. BITE Operation The recorder does an automatic test at power up. It also does 
continuous monitoring while in normal operation. When a failure happens, the BITE stores the failure in memory and turns on the BITE indicator. 
You use BITE to do a test of all the recorder circuitry. When you push the control panel TEST switch, BITE makes a test tone. The recorder stores this test tone on each channel. BITE then monitors the stored tone to make sure it has the correct frequency and amplitude. 
System Test 
When the voice recorder has power, you can start the test.

comes on for a short time.
