Rotate the left small knob (5) fully counter‑clockwise to power off; rotate it clockwise past the click to turn the unit on.

When activated, COM1 is dedicated to the pilot and COM2 to the copilot, allowing both to transmit simultaneously on separate radios.

How are intercom modes selected?

Press the PILOT or CREW buttons; an LED indicates the active mode, and pressing the button again deactivates it.

Is MUSIC1 muted during intercom activity?

Yes, MUSIC1 is normally muted when the intercom system is active, though an installation option can disable this mute function.
