Hungarian term or phrase: fogyasztó (NOT "customer")
The context is a fictional story (written recently) about an airplane in the 1970s - so it might not be technically accurate.
The guys in the cockpit are going through a technical checklist, making sure various parts of the plane are working, before takeoff. One of the items is:
Első panel fogyasztói.
To which the answer is:
Bekapcsolva.
Clearly this is not fogyasztó in the sense of customer/consumer. I think it may be some kind of electrical connector.
Anyone?
