Please read it carefully before using the equipment so that you can take full advantage of its capabilities. [. . . ] Pressing the ICS button again disables this crew intercom function. 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. For optimum microphone performance, UPS Aviation Technologies recommends installation of a Microphone Muff Kit from Oregon Aero (1-800-888-6910). They may also listen to Entertainment 1. Passengers can continue to communicate with themselves without interrupting the Crew and also may listen to Entertainment 2. 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.
