Press and hold the Frequency Transfer Key for approximately three seconds or press the EMR Softkey if configured. The Emergency Channel will be inserted into the Active Frequency position and the previous Active Frequency, will become the Standby Frequency.

STUCK MIC

The GTR 200 helps protect you from a situation where the microphone may get stuck in the ON or Transmit position. If the microphone is keyed for longer than 35 seconds, the GTR 200 will return to the receive mode on the selected frequency.

A ???PILOT or COPILOT PTT KEY STUCK??? message will be displayed until the transmit key is released. The Alert will be displayed until the MIC is no longer stuck.

During a PILOT PTT KEY STUCK situation if one of the softkeys has been configured as PTT, transmit capability will be available through the PTT softkey after the 35 second time-out.

3D AUDIO

3D Audio is useful when multiple audio sources are present. By using different responses in each ear, 3D audio processing creates the illusion that each audio source is coming from a unique location or seat position.

Because this feature uses different signals for left and right channels, it requires wiring for stereo intercom and stereo headsets. If 3D audio is activated when mono headsets are in use, the listener will still hear all audio sources; however, there is no benefit from location separation.

During normal operation and with 3D Audio enabled, the listener hears the Active Frequency at the 12 o???clock position. If the Standby is selected for monitoring, the listener hears the Active at 11 o???clock and the Standby at the 1 o???clock position. Intercom positions are processed to sound like

GTR 200

their relative seat location. By default, the GTR 200 assumes the pilot sits in the left seat. Pilot seat location can be changed in configuration mode, see the GTR 200 Installation Manual for details.

3D Audio

Enabling/Disabling 3D Audio:

1)Press the MENU key.

2)Turn the LARGE Knob to highlight SETUP and press the SMALL Knob.

3)Turn the LARGE Knob to navigate to COM 3D AUDIO or ICS 3D AUDIO. Turn the SMALL Knob to toggle ON/OFF.
