OPERATING PROCEDURES
Plug headsets into the proper intercom jacks. When using
stereo headsets, put the stereo/mono switch in the mono
mode. Turn on the aircraft master switch and avionics master,
if so equipped.
Initially set the intercom volume control to the 11 o'clock
position and the squelch control to the 3 o'clock position. Turn
up each headset volume all the way and position your boom
mic 1/8" from your lips and at the corner of your mouth for
best results. Noise canceling mics will not operate correctly if
they are more than 1/8" from your mouth. While speaking
loudly, adjust the intercom volume control to a comfortable
listening level.
Squelch Control: The squelch control should be set as far clockwise as possible while still blocking the background noise. When adjusting
the squelch, be sure no one is talking. Re-adjust this setting in flight to compensate for different noise levels.
Note: If the squelch is set too high (counter-clockwise) your voice will be cut out unless you talk very loudly. If the squelch is set too low
(clockwise) the background noise will be heard occasionally.
