Radio – Radio will mute music, but intercom will not mute mu- sic. The PDA360EX always defaults to Mute ALL when turned on. In addition to the panel mute menu, a remote switch may be installed to allow the passengers local access to their Karaoke mode. When this switch is grounded, the menu choice is overridden.
