2.6.1 Paring separate music and telephone devices
It is possible to use a different music source (iPad, iPod with Bluetooth adapter, Bluetooth enabled laptop,
etc) and telephone. However, the music source must be paired first, before the telephone, if the telephone
also has music streaming capability. Otherwise, the Smartphone will also take over the music streaming.
Only one can be a phone. If the telephone can provide both telephone and streaming music, when the
phone is connected, it will automatically disconnect the music device. If it is possible to turn off the music
streaming function on the telephone, then both the telephone and a separate Bluetooth® enabled music
device can be use at the same time.
If Bluetooth connections become unreliable or do not connect, you may need to reset the PAR100EX.
Turn the unit off, and hold the A1 & A2 buttons while turning the unit the unit back on. You should hear
a chime to indicate a successful Bluetooth reset.
NOTE
FCC Regulations (47 CFR 22.925) prohibit airborne operation of cellular phones;
Cellular telephones installed in or carried aboard airplanes, balloons or any other type of aircraft must not
be operated while such aircraft are airborne (not touching the ground). When any aircraft leaves the
ground, all cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be turned off. The use of cellular telephones
while aircraft is on the ground is subject to FAA regulations.
FAA Regulation 14 CFR 91.21(5) allows for use of portable electronic devices that the operator of the
aircraft has determined will not cause interference with the navigation or communication system of the
aircraft on which it is to be used.
PS Engineering, Inc. does not endorse using unapproved cellular telephone equipment in flight, and takes
no responsibility for the user’s action. PS Engineering does not guarantee compatibility with personal
cellular telephones. For a list of phones that have been tested, visit

2.6.2 Telephone sidetone
The PAR1000EX will provide cell phone sidetone (your side of the telephone conversation) in the factory
configuration. Some telephones do provide sidetone the PAR100EX can be configured to remove this side-
tone by placing the DIP switch in the proper configuration. See Figure 2-2 for locations.

2.6.3 "Swap" Mode
When a momentary, normally open, push-button switch is connected between pin 20 on the J2 connector
and aircraft ground, the user can switch between Com 1 and 2 by depressing this switch without having to
turn the mic selector switch. This yoke-mounted switch eliminates the need to remove your hands from
the yoke to change transceivers.
2.6.4 Backlighting
The PAR100EX has an automatic dimming of the pushbutton annunciation LEDs controlled by a photo-
cell. Control of the unit backlighting is through the aircraft avionics dimmer. For 12-Volt aircraft, connect
J2 Pins 6 and 7 to the aircraft dimmer bus, and pin 5 to ground.
As shipped from PS Engineering, the PAR100EX is ONLY compatible with 12 Volt DC systems. Contact
PS Engineering at 1.865.988.9800 or
[email protected] if 24V operation is desired. For 24-
volt backlighting systems, connect pin 7 to the aircraft dimmer, and pins 5 and 6 to ground.
