Narrative:
Improper aircraft confign. I have a pilot check (proficiency) coming up and we were discussing the rejected takeoff/automatic brake system. During this discussion the automatic brake switch was moved from the 'off' position to the '-3' position during the discussion. Landed in this confign. No light noted above rejected takeoff/automatic brake switch. Automatic brakes do work. When discussing a system never, ever, touch the switch!
