NOTE: For optimum microphone
performance, we recommend use of a
Microphone Muff Kit from Oregon
Aero (1-800-888-6910,
www.oregonaero.com ). This will not
only optimize VOX performance, but
will improve the overall clarity of all
your communications. You should
also keep the microphone out of a
direct wind. Moving your head through
an air stream may cause the
IntelliVox® to open momentarily. This
is normal. The IntelliVox® is designed
to work with normal aircraft cabin
noise levels (70 dB and above).
Therefore, it may not always
recognize speech and clip syllables in
a quiet area, such as in the hangar, or
without the engine running. This is
also normal.
Intercom Volume Control (7)
The small volume control knob
adjusts the loudness of the intercom
for the pilot and copilot. It has no
effect on selected radio levels, music
input levels or passengers' volume
level.
The larger, outer volume control
knob controls intercom volume for the
passengers. It has no effect on radio
or music levels.
Mono Headsets in Stereo
Installation
The pilot and copilot positions
work with stereo or mono headsets. If
a passenger’s monaural headset is
plugged in to a KMA 30 Stereo
installation, one channel will be
shorted and all passengers will lose
one channel unless they switch to the
“MONO” mode on the headset.
Intercom Modes (8)
The intercom has three modes,
ISO, ALL and CRW. The description
of the intercom mode function is valid
only when the unit is not in the "Split"
mode. In split mode, the pilot and
copilot intercom is controlled with the
Mute button.
The ICS button cycles through
the intercom modes, from top to
bottom and then back up.
ISO: The pilot is isolated from the
intercom and is connected only to the
aircraft radio system. He hears the
radios (and sidetone during radio
transmissions). The copilot and
passengers will hear the music
sources as configured by the audio
panel configuration Function keys.
See Smart Function Keys subsection
for more details.
While in ISO Mode, the pilot can
elect to hear music #1. First, be sure
that the ISO mode is selected. Then
press and hold the TEL button, then
hold the ICS mode button for more
than one second. The ICS indicator
will blink slowly to indicate music is
present in ISO.
ALL: All parties will hear the aircraft
radio and intercom. Crew will hear
Music 1, passengers can hear Music
1 or 2. The music mutes in
