tive, and the passengers never hear aircraft radios. Press TEL and AUX
buttons to activate Function A, and you will hear “Alternate Intercom
Function.” Press these buttons again to exit, and you will hear “Standard
Intercom Function.”
Function B activates a Monitor Mode. In this case, the audio from the
COM radio that is selected for transmit will mute the other COM audio
when it is active. Fro example, if COM 1 is selected to transmit to ATC,
but COM 2 is receiving weather information; the ATC will mute the
audio from the weather while ATC is transmitting. In Monitor mode, the
RCV COM indicator will blink every few seconds as a status indication.
Monitor mode is set to off when the unit is turned off.
Function C controls music distribution, and has three states; Standard
Music Distribution, Alternate Music Distribution and Music 1 All
Headsets.
Music 1 (the Bluetooth device or the Music 1 input on the rear connec-
tor) can be distributed to all headsets depending on intercom mode.
In Standard Music Distribution, Music 1 is provided to the crew, and
Music 2 is independently provided to the passengers.
In Alternate Music Distribution, Music 1 is provided to everybody in the
ALL intercom mode, and Music 2 becomes active, for the passengers
only, when the intercom is in the CREW mode. The front panel jack is
also available to the passengers in the ISO and ALL intercom modes.
“Smart” Front Panel Jack
When music 1 is actively playing through the rear panel input, the front
jack automatically becomes an advisory audio input, and is NOT muted
by radio or intercom conversations. This is useful for connecting port-
able traffic or terrain alert devices. If Music 1 is not active, the mute
mode should be deselected.
