PILOT mode
isolates the pilot from everyone else and dedicates the aircraft radios to the
pilot exclusively.
The copilot and passengers share communication between themselves but
cannot communicate with the pilot or hear the aircraft radios.
CREW mode
places the pilot and copilot on a common ICS communication channel.
The passengers are on their own intercom channel and can communicate with each other, but
cannot communicate with the crew or hear the aircraft radios.
ALL mode
allows full intercom communication between everyone plugged in to the GMA
340.
Aircraft radios are heard by all.
MUSIC 1 and MUSIC 2
stereo entertainment inputs are affected by the intercom mode
selected.
The following table summarizes the ICS operation for the different modes supported by the
GMA 340:
MUSIC 1 is normally muted during ICS activity.
However an installation option is available to disable
ICS MUTE.
Then muting of MUSIC 1 will not occur due to ICS activity.
A panel mounted switch may be
installed for this function.
The MUSIC 1 mute trip level is adjustable by the installing agency.
Mono/Stereo Headset
The use of stereo headsets is highly recommended.
If monaural headsets are plugged into stereo jacks that do not have a switch
installed, the unit will not be damaged.
If the pilot uses a monaural headset in a stereo jack, no audio will be heard
during failsafe operation.
When using a monaural headset the pilot’s jack must
be equipped with a stereo/mono switch and it must be set to the ‘mono’ position
for proper failsafe operation.
A person listening on a monaural headset will hear only the left channel from the GMA 340 in both ears.
If
a monaural headset is used at one of the passenger positions, any other passenger listening on a stereo headset
will hear audio in their left ear only, unless their headset has a stereo/mono switch and it is set for mono.
