Pressing the INTR COM Key on either Audio Panel selects and deselects the
intercom on both Audio Panels. The annunciator is lit when the intercom is active.
The intercom connects the pilot and copilot together. Either the pilot or copilot may
select or deselect the intercom.
The CABIN Key initiates two way communication between the pilot or copilot and
the passengers in the cabin. The annunciator is lit when the cabin intercom is active
on either Audio Panel.
The MAN SQ Key allows either automatic or manual control of the intercom
squelch setting. Pressing the MAN SQ Key enables manual squelch control, indicated
by the MAN SQ annunciator.
During manual squelch operation, pressing the ICS Knob switches between volume
and squelch adjustment, lighting the associated annunciator beneath the knob. When
the MAN SQ annunciator is lit, the ICS Knob controls both volume and squelch. When
the MAN SQ annunciator is extinguished, the ICS Knob controls only volume.
pAssenger Address (pA) sYstem
A passenger address system is provided by pressing the PA Key to deliver messages
to the passengers. The message is heard by the other pilot on the headset only if the
INTR COM Key is enabled. PA messages are one way from the flight deck to the
passengers.
CleArAnCe reCorder And plAYer
NOTE: Pressing the play key on the pilot’s Audio Panel plays recorded audio
to the Pilot. Pressing the play key on the Copilot’s Audio Panel plays recorded
audio to the Copilot.
Recorded COM audio is stored in separate memory blocks. Once 2.5 minutes
of recording time have been reached, the recorder begins recording over the stored
memory blocks, starting from the oldest block.
The PLAY Key controls the play function. The PLAY annunciator flashes to indicate
when play is in progress. The PLAY annunciator turns off after playback is finished.
Pressing the PLAY Key once plays the latest recorded memory block and then
returns to normal operation. Pressing the PLAY Key again during play of a memory
block stops play. If a COM input signal is detected during play of a recorded memory
block, play is halted.
