2.4.12 PA Mute (J2, Pin 12)
Pin 12 of J2 is a TTL logic output that is pulled low during PTT operation. This serves as an input to ex-
ternal public address system to prevent feedback during transmissions.

Pin 18 of the J2 connector is pulled to ground whenever the AUX button is depressed. This serves as a
control line for external devices, such as an entertainment system that the pilot wishes to control.
This pin can also be used to control passenger Karaoke Mode, by connecting to pin 13 of the J2, or as a
PA cockpit/cabin speaker relay control.
NOTE
J2, Pin 18 should NOT be used if the AUX is going to be used to switch DME or auxiliary audio.
2.5 Intercom wiring
See Appendix C and D for intercom connection configurations. It is critical to the proper operation of this
system to have this connector wiring made in accordance with these diagrams. Use 2- and 3-conductor,
MIL-spec cable as shown. Connect the shields at the audio panel end only, and tie to the audio low i nputs
