OPERATION
DIGITAL CLEARANCE RECORDER WITH
PLAYBACK CAPABILITY
The audio panel contains a digital clearance recorder
that plays back up to 2.5 minutes of COM signal record-
ing. Recorded COM audio is stored in separate memory
blocks. Audio from all of the selected COM radios are
recorded and can be played back. Anyone able to hear
the selected COM radios is able to hear the COM audio
playback.
Once the 2.5 minutes of recording time have been
reached, the recorder begins recording over the stored
memory blocks, starting from the oldest block. Powering
off the unit automatically clears all recorded blocks.
Figure 5-8 Playback
The PLAY key controls the playback function.
• Pressing PLAY once plays back the latest recorded
memory block, then returns to normal operation.
• Pressing PLAY during playback of a memory block
halts the playback of this block and plays back the
preceding recorded block. The PLAY key can be
used to backtrack through the recorded memory
blocks to reach and play back any desired block.
NOTE: Pressing the MKR/MUTE key during
playback halts playback and returns the recorder/
playback to normal operation.
During playback, the PLAY annunciator light blinks
approximately once per second. If a COM input signal is
detected during playback, playback is halted and the new
COM audio is recorded as the latest block.
NOTE: The recorder can be permanently dis-
abled by a Garmin-authorized service center.
NOTE: If the COM muting on receive option
is enabled, only the primary COM radio audio
reception is recorded by the digital clearance
recorder.

sionary mode for all displays. Reversionary mode opera-
