Adjust the radios and intercom volume for a comfortable listening level.
Most general aviation headsets today have built-in vol-
ume controls; therefore, volume also can be further ad-
justed at the individual headset.
Intercom Modes (8)
The “ICS” pushbutton switch on the lower left side of
the panel provides the selection of the three intercom
modes. The description of the intercom mode function is valid only when the
unit is not in the "Split" mode.
This button cycles through the intercom modes, from left to right, then right
to left as: ISO, ALL CRW and CRW, ALL, ISO. A green LED behind the
text shows which mode is currently active.
I
SO : The pilot is isolated from the intercom and is connected only to the air-
craft radio system. He will hear the aircraft radio reception (and sidetone
during radio transmissions). Copilot will hear passengers’ intercom and en-
tertainment, while passengers will hear copilot intercom and entertainment.
Neither will hear aircraft radio receptions or pilot transmissions.
A
LL : All parties will hear the aircraft radio and intercom. Crew and passen-
gers will hear selected entertainment. During any radio or intercom commu-
nications, the music volume automatically decreases. The music volume
increases gradually back to the original level after communications have
been completed.
C
REW : Pilot and copilot are connected on one intercom channel and have
exclusive access to the aircraft radios. They may also listen to Entertainment
1. Passengers can continue to communicate with themselves without inter-
rupting the Crew and may listen to entertainment #2.
Mono headsets in Stereo Installation
The pilot and copilot positions work with stereo or mono headsets. All pas-
senger headsets are connected in parallel. Therefore, if a monaural headset is
plugged in to a PAR200A Stereo installation, one channel will be shorted.
Although no damage to the unit will occur, passengers with stereo headsets
will only hear in one ear, unless they switch to the “MONO” mode on their
headset.
Bluetooth® Telephone Connection
Before the PAR200A can be used in TELEPHONE mode with a wireless
Bluetooth connection, the unit must be associated with a specific phone.
Activate the “seek device” function on the cell phone, and then enter the
access code “0000” (if necessary) when the phone detects the “PAR200A”
on the list of available devices.
This process will be necessary for any phone to be used, and only one cell
phone can be associated with the audio panel at a time. If the additional
