Intercom Operation 

IntelliVox

® VOX-Squelch 

No adjustment of the 

IntelliVox

® squelch control is necessary. There 

is no field adjustment. Through three individual signal processors, the 
ambient noise appearing in all six microphones is constantly being 
sampled. Non-voice signals are blocked. When someone speaks, only 
their microphone circuit opens, placing their voice on the intercom. 

The system is designed to block continuous tones, therefore people 
humming or whistling in monotone may be blocked after a few mo-
ments. 

For consistent performance, any headset microphone 

must

 be placed 

within 

¼-inch 

of your lips, preferably against them. (ref: 

RTCA/DO-

214, 1.3.1.1 (a

)). It is important to have the microphone element par-

allel to your mouth, and not twisted inside the cover.

Note: For optimum microphone performance, we recommend 
use of a Microphone Muff Kit from Oregon Aero (1-800-888-
6910). This will not only optimize VOX performance, but will 
improve the overall clarity of 

all

 your communications.
