from the cabin. The optional HM-127
REMOTE-CONTROL MI-
CROPHONE is required for intercom operation.
Connect an optional HM-127 as described on p. 35.
Transmitting is impossible during intercom operation.
The received signal is muted during intercom operation.

The HM-127 power is automatically turned ON, even if the power
is OFF.
w Push and hold [LO/DX•IC•SCR] again to call up.
The transceiver and microphone emit call beeps.
e Push and hold the PTT switch and speak at a normal voice
level into the microphone.

play, respectively.

(transmit and receive) are interrupted. If the transceiver is
in transmit condition, the intercom function is not avail-
able.
When a DSC call is received, “DSC received” appears
and the last received DSC message is displayed after the
intercom use is finished.
When a WX alert is received, “WX ALT” flashes and a
beep sounds. The WX alert sounds after the intercom use
is finished.
