crew can focus on the radio. Passengers will always be able to talk to each
other.
To activate this function hold the COM 3 XMT button until the audio an-
nounces “Alternate Intercom Function,” when activated, and “Standard In-
tercom Function” when deactivated.” The alternate intercom mode is an-
nounced at power up, unless the power on announcement has been defeated.
Both the pilot and copilot audio panels can invoke the Alternate
Intercom Function, which applies to BOTH audio panels.
“Monitor” Function
This function turns the Monitor mode on and off.
When the Monitor mode is on, the audio from the COM that is selected for
reception only (only top LED illuminated) will be muted when the radio that
is selected to transmit becomes active.
This function is useful if you are copying weather from AWOS on COM 2,
but have clearance delivery tuned in on COM 1. With the monitor active, the
AWOS audio will be silenced when clearance delivery starts to speak.
To activate the Monitor Function press and hold AUX. The audio will an-
nounce “Monitor on,” when activated, and “Monitor off” when deactivated.
This function applies to each crewmember’s audio panel independently.
NOTE: This mode is NOT remembered through power cycles, to prevent
inadvertent blocking of desired audio on the next trip
.
“Music” Distribution Function
In the pilot’s audio panel, the Music function turns the music 1 source
on, or off, with accompanying audio announcement.
In the copilot’s audio panel, the Music Function has three modes for
the copilot and passenger distribution. To cycle Music distribution
modes, press and hold Mute button until the annunciation starts.
When “Music number one, all headsets” is selected, Music 1 (Bluetooth
source, or rear connector) will be distributed to the copilot and passenger headsets
and is independent of the intercom mode switch. Therefore, even in the CREW mode,
the passengers will hear Music 1, although though they will not hear the crew inter-
com or radios.
This mode allows you to use a single in-flight entertainment source. The music mut-
ing follow the selected mode.
When you press “Music” function again, you’ll hear, “Alternate music distribution.”
This function makes Music 2 dependent on the intercom mode.
In this state, Music 2 will be heard only when the intercom is in the CREW mode,
and only the passengers will hear it. Music 1 (Bluetooth, Rear Input, and Front Panel
Jack) will be provided to passengers’ headset in ISO and ALL intercom modes.
Press again, and you will hear “Standard Music Distribution.” In this mode, Music 2
becomes active, and will always be presented to the passengers. Music 1 is only
available to the copilot. The intercom mode switch will not have any affect on the
music distribution.
