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.
3.9 Music Inputs
The PAR200 has two independent music inputs at the rear connector. The PAR200 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 PAR200 is also Music 1.

NOTE:
All music devices should be turned off for take off, 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 interfer-
ence with the navigation or communication system of the aircraft on which it is to be used.”

3.10 Music Muting (9)
There are two SoftMute™ muting circuits. The front panel "Mute" button has four modes, and
controls the Mute function for music 1. Music 2 muting is controlled by an external switch, and
has two modes, mute on and mute off.
The SoftMute™ circuit will cut the music out whenever there is conversation on the radio, the
intercom, or both, depending on the “Mute” mode selected. When that conversation stops, the
music returns to the previous level comfortably, over a second or so.
