In ALL intercom mode, all crew and passengers will be heard on the phone when they speak. Com and
other selected radio audio is also heard in the headsets. If the pilot or copilot pushes the radio PTT, their
microphone will be transferred to the selected Com radio. The telephone party will not hear ATC commu-
nications, and vice versa. Passengers will not have telephone sidetone and will not hear the ringer.
In CREW mode, only the pilot and copilot are connected to the telephone. Passengers will not hear the
telephone. The pilot and copilot will also have transmit capability on the other selected transceiver.
In ISO intercom mode, when the PAR200A is in the TEL mode, the pilot position is in the "Phone Booth."
Only the pilot will hear the telephone, and only he will be heard. He will also have access to Com 1 or 2,
and will transmit on that radio using the PTT. All selected audio is provided to the pilot. Pilot will not have
telephone sidetone in Isolate mode.
NOTE
Because the cell-phone uses an intercom circuit, all stations on that circuit will lose intercom capability
when the cell phone is in use.
WARNING
Federal Communications Commission regulation 47 CFR 22.925 prohibits the use of 800MHz Cellular
handsets in any aircraft that is airborne. Violation of this rule could result in suspension of service and/or a
fine.
3.10 Music Inputs
The PAR200A has two independent music inputs at the rear connector. The PAR200A also has the ability
to receive streaming music from a Bluetooth-enabled device. If both inputs are active, both will be heard in
the headset at the same time, there is not any prioritization.
Music #1 will be normally heard by the pilot and copilot positions ONLY. Music 2 is ONLY available to
the two passenger positions.
Music #1 can also be distributed to the passengers using the rear connector control (See § 2.7.1.1). The
streamed music in the PAR200A is also Music 1.

NOTE:
All music devices should be turned off for takeoff, landing, or any critical phase of flight. FAA Regulation 14 CFR
91.21 restricts the use of portable electronic devices.
§91.21 “(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, no person may operate, nor may any operator or pilot in
command of an aircraft allow the operation of, any portable electronic device on any of the following U.S.-registered
civil aircraft. . .
“(b)(5) Any other portable electronic device 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.”
