SYSTEM OPERATION

Multifunction Controls

The Pilot side volume knob controls the ON

and OFF function, the pilot’s intercom volume
plus manual and automatic squelch.

When pressed, manual squelch is selected and the MAN

SQ LED is ON indicating that squelch is adjusted manually.
When pressed again the MAN SQ LED turns OFF and squelch
is automatic.

The Copilot side volume knob controls the

Copilot and passenger intercom volume level.

The MKR/MUTE key selects marker audio

and “Smart Mutes” the marker signal. That is, the
marker tone is silenced, then waits for the next
marker tone. It also turns ON/OFF Music Muting, plus cancels
the COM audio playback.

The SPKR key turns the cabin speaker ON

and OFF. Pressing and holding for 2 seconds
selects PA mode. The SPKR key LED blinks
when PA is active.

Power ON/OFF

The GMA 347 may be powered ON and OFF with the

avionics master switch.

To control the ON and OFF function with the Pilot ICS

volume, rotate the knob clockwise out of the detent to turn
ON and counterclockwise into the detent to turn OFF.

During power-up, the unit undergoes a self-test, illuminating

all panel annunciator lights for two (2) seconds. Once the self-
test is complete, the unit is ready for use with the same keys
selected when the system was last powered OFF.

Voice Recorder

The voice recorder feature records all the audio heard on

any selected COM radio. Recording begins automatically
unless the external RECORDER OFF function is activated.
Playback is heard by anyone listening on the selected radios.
