FEATURES AND OPERATION

The Garmin GMA 240 is a headphones only audio control panel. Pushbutton

keys control audio selection of COM, NAV, telephone (TEL), and intercom.

Two AUX inputs are available for additional avionics or audio devices.

LED annunciators indicate when a key function is selected. Annunciator

brightness is adjusted automatically by photocell dimming. LED-illuminated

key brightness is adjusted by the radio dimming bus control.

In case power is interrupted or the unit is turned off, a fail-safe circuit

connects the Pilot’s headset, microphone, and PTT directly to COM 1 and the

fail-safe alert audio, such as an autopilot disconnect tone.

In addition to radio squelch circuitry, MASQ

(Master Avionics Squelch)

processing further reduces ambient noise from the avionics inputs.

Upon installation, the unit may be conﬁgured in various ways depending

on the aircraft type and the needs of the Pilot. See the conﬁguration list at the

end of this manual. Contact a Garmin-authorized service center for details

and assistance in altering the conﬁguration settings.

MICROPHONES

The GMA 240 Audio Panel can accept up to four (4) microphone inputs,

allowing for a two-person crew and up to two (2) passenger intercom

stations in the aircraft. A push-to-talk (PTT) switch must be pressed to

transmit on a selected Transceiver. The passengers cannot transmit over the

active COM radio, even if equipped with a PTT switch.

Each microphone input has a dedicated VOX circuit to ensure that only

the active microphone is heard when squelch is broken.

MONO/STEREO HEADSETS

The unit can accommodate up to four (4) headsets (Pilot, Copilot and up

to two (2) passengers). The use of stereo headsets is highly recommended.

If monaural headsets are plugged into stereo jacks, power supply fuses may

be damaged.

When wired correctly, the use of a monaural headset in a stereo jack

shorts the right headset channel to ground. Anyone listening on a monaural

headset hears only the left channel in both ears. If a monaural headset is

used at one of the passenger positions, anyone else listening on a stereo

headset hears audio in the left ear only, unless their headset has a mono/

stereo switch set to mono.

POWER ON/OFF

The GMA 240 may be powered ON and OFF with the avionics master

switch. The unit may also be turned ON and OFF with the Pilot ICS Volume

Knob. Rotate the knob clockwise out of the detent to turn ON. Rotate the

knob counterclockwise into the detent to turn OFF.

During power-up, the unit undergoes a self-test, illuminating all panel

annunciator lights for about two (2) seconds. Once the self-test is complete,

the unit is ready for use with the same keys selected as when the system was

last powered OFF.

TRANSCEIVERS

Pressing

COM1 MIC

COM2 MIC

Key selects the transmitter and receiver

audio for the selected transceiver source. The active COM audio is always

heard on the Pilot headphones. Audio level is controlled by the selected

COM radio volume control.

Either audio source can be selected independently by pressing the

COM1

COM2

receiver keys. When selected this way, they remain active as audio

sources regardless of which transceiver has been selected for microphone

use.

190-00917-00 Rev. A

Garmin GMA 240 Pilot’s Guide

GMA 240 Audio Panel

When a microphone is keyed, the active transceiver’s MIC key LED blinks

approximately once per second indicating the PTT is pressed.

RECEIVERS

Pressing the

NAV1

NAV2

AUX1

, or

AUX2

Key selects the receiver audio

for the selected source. Each audio source can be selected independently by

pressing the appropriate

receiver keys. They remain active as audio sources

until deselected.

Press the MON MUTE Key to mute all monitored receiver audio when

the active transceiver is receiving audio.

INTERCOM

The GMA 240 includes a four-position intercom system (ICS) with

electronic cabin noise de-emphasis and two stereo music inputs. Two

volume controls, one for the Pilot and one for a combined Copilot/passenger

control, set intercom audio level. Music volume is controlled by pulling

the right side (Copilot/passenger) volume control knob and turning it for

the desired audio level.

ICS squelch is adjusted by turning the Pilot side and Copilot/passenger

side

knob. Turning either knob clockwise increases the squelch threshold

level, turning counterclockwise decreases the level.

The intercom system provides two modes of isolation, PILOT and ALL,

controlled by pressing the PILOT ISO Key. In Pilot mode, (PILOT ISO

annunciator is illuminated) the Pilot is isolated from all other occupants of

the aircraft. In ALL mode, (PILOT ISO annunciator is off) everyone hears

all occupants of the aircraft.

The unit can also be conﬁgured for Crew Isolation in place of Pilot

Isolation. When conﬁgured for Crew Isolation, the Pilot and Copilot can

communicate with each other while the passengers are able to communicate

only with each other. In ALL mode, there is no isolation and every occupant

can communicate with every other occupant.

ICS Isolation Modes & Telephone Distribution

TELEPHONE

The GMA 240 provides a full-duplex telephone interface. Press the

TEL Key to activate telephone operation. When the telephone is active,

operation depends on the ICS mode. See the ICS Isolation Modes &

Telephone Distribution table. Telephone communication is much like using

the intercom, allowing both parties to talk at once.

ENTERTAINMENT INPUTS

The GMA 240 provides two stereo entertainment inputs; MUSIC 1 and

MUSIC 2. A MUSIC 1/TEL jack is also located on the GMA 240 front panel.

The MUSIC 1/TEL jack can accept music or telephone sources.

The MUSIC 1 and MUSIC 2 rear inputs may be wired to either a stereo

phone jack in a convenient place, or to an audio device in a ﬁxed mount

(e.g. a GPSMAP 396 dock or a CD player). These inputs are compatible

with popular portable entertainment devices such as MP3 and CD players.

The headphone outputs of these devices are plugged into the MUSIC 1 or

MUSIC 2 jacks.

Press the MUSIC Key to enable the selected music input to be heard.

Press again to disable music audio.

Press the MUSIC 1-2 Key to select either the MUSIC 1 or MUSIC 2 input.

Annunciators above the key indicate which music source is selected.

Either music source may be selected. The selected source is heard by

all unless intercom isolation removes the audio. A music source plugged

into the GMA 240 front panel MUSIC 1 jack will bypass the MUSIC 1 rear

input.

MUSIC is soft-muted under certain conditions. Soft-muting refers to the

temporary reduction of music volume and a gradual return to its original

level. This muting occurs during alerts (unless conﬁgured otherwise),

during selected radio reception if the RADIO Key is selected, during

intercom operation if the ICS Key is selected, and any time the TEL Key is

selected.
