AUDIO PANEL AND CNS
4.6 AUDIO PANELS PREFLIGHT PROCEDURE
If the flight crew is using headsets that have a high/low switch or volume control knob, verify that
NOTE:
the switch is in the high position and the volume control on the headsets are at max volume setting. On
single-pilot flights, verify that all other headsets are not connected to avoid excess noise in the audio
system.
When the MAN SQ Key is pressed, the flight crew is now able to set the ICS squelch manually. If
NOTE:
manual squelch is set to full open (SQ annunciated and the small knob turned counterclockwise) background
noise is heard in the ICS system as well as during COM transmissions.
After powering up the G1000 system the following steps aid the flight crew in maximizing the use of the Audio
Panels as well as prevent flight crew induced issues. These preflight procedures should be performed each time a
flight crew boards the aircraft to insure awareness of all audio levels in the Audio Panels and radios.

Independent radio volume adjustments made using the PFD controls affect only the audio output for each
radio selected for adjustment. Radio volume adjustment affects both crew positions equally for each radio that
is adjusted. Turning the master volume control located on either Audio Panel affects only the audio heard in the
corresponding crew position headset. Thus, radio volume adjustments may be overridden by each crew position
independently using the master volume control on the Audio Panel for the respective crew position. The master
volume control for each Audio Panel affects all other system audio output for the pilot or copilot headset.
