A LL : All parties will hear the aircraft radio and intercom. Crew and passengers will hear selected music.
During any radio or intercom communications, the music volume automatically decreases. The music vol-
ume 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 Music 1. Passengers can continue to communicate with themselves without
interrupting the Crew and may listen to music as configured.
3.8 Telephone Mode
3.8.1 Bluetooth Telephone Connection
Before the PAR200 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” when the
phone detects the “PAR200” on the list of available devices.
When the PAR200 is paired with the Bluetooth device, the letters “BT” appears in the display.
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 phones are associated with the PAR200 at the same time, only
the first phone will transfer audio to the panel.
If the Bluetooth connection fails to reconnect, or becomes unreliable for any reason, you can reset all
connections by turning off the PAR200, holding the N1 and N2 buttons down, and turning the unit back
on. This clears out all paired devices.
PS Engineering recommends this clearing process if you’re having difficulties interfacing the PAR200
audio panel to your Bluetooth phone or device.
3.8.2 Telephone (TEL) Operation
When the Bluetooth-enabled phone receives an incoming call, the PAR200 will play a ring tone. Answer
the call from your telephone handset. The PAR200 exits the telephone mode automatically when the
cellular phone hangs up.
In TELEPHONE mode, the pilot microphone and headphones are connected to the cell phone. The pilot
PTT will switch the pilot mic to the selected com transceiver, and allow continued aircraft
communications to continue.
The copilot will also be able to transmit on the other selected radio with his PTT as well.
Entering the TEL mode connects the telephone to the users as follows:
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.
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 PAR200 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.
