Please read it carefully before using the equipment so that you can take full advantage of its capabilities. This chapter is divided into five sections covering the basic operating areas. [. . . ] 1. 5. 1 Split Mode ICS In split mode, the pilot and copilot are usually isolated from each other on the intercom while simultaneously using their respective radios. Depressing the ICS button in Split Mode will activate VOX intercom between the pilot and copilot positions. 1. 6 Intercom Operation 1. 6. 1 IntelliVox® VOX-Squelch No adjustment of the IntelliVox® squelch control is necessary. Through individual signal processors, the ambient noise appearing in all six microphones is constantly being sampled. 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 moments. For consistent performance, any headset microphone must be placed within ¼inch of your lips, preferably against them. It is also a good idea to keep the microphone out of a direct wind path. Moving your head through a vent air stream may cause the IntelliVox® to open momentarily. The IntelliVox® is designed to work with normal aircraft cabin noise levels (70 dB and above). Therefore, it may not recognize speech and clip syllables in a quiet cabin, such as in the hangar, or without the engine running. Anytime the SL15-CD is in either the COM 1/COM 2, COM 2/COM 1 ("Split Mode"), the pilot and copilot intercom is controlled with the ICS button. The passengers will maintain intercommunications, but never hear aircraft radios.

The CD-15 remote CD player is usually installed as Music 1, and feeds the pilot and copilot positions. The music volume control affects the CD-15 music level only in the pilot and copilot positions. While in the ISO (Isolate) mode, the copilot will hear Entertainment 1 while the four passengers will hear Entertainment #2. In normal operation, whenever a person speaks, or if the aircraft radio becomes active, the music will automatically mute and then will gradually return to the original listening level when the intercom or radio conversation ceases. [. . . ] The White lamp, labeled "I, " is the Inner marker and has a 3000-Hertz 'dot' tone. The audio from the Marker Beacon Receiver can be heard by selecting the "MKR" push-button switch. To adjust the volume level, there is a service adjustment located on the top of the unit. A three-position switch is used to set the receiver sensitivity and to test the indicator lamps. [. . . ]
