3.0 AUX Music Input Jack
The same 3.5mm cell/satellite phone jack can be used as an AUX music input. Plug in
your favorite music source and you’ll hear true stereo music in your headset.
3.1 Taking Care of Your Headset
To insure the full life of your headset, keep it clean and free of dust and dirt. Clean your
headsets with non-alcohol wipes or a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild soap.
Never use alcohol. Plastic parts dry out or fray when exposed to alcohol based products.
Headband, ear cups, ear seals and cords can be lightly cleaned but one should be
careful around the microphone and speakers on the headset.
A. Mic Windscreen : PILOT recommends periodically replacing the microphone
windscreen if necessary. The foam microphone windscreen helps eliminates the
popping “P”s and “T”s and annoying breath puffs when you’re communicating
with the headset. The foam microphone windscreen also helps protect the
microphone from moisture and other elements that may cause damage to the
electronics.
B. Ear Cushions: Ear seals also need periodic replacing. Depending on how much
you fly, temperature (extreme heat or cold) also influences the life span of your
ear seals. We have several types of ear seals on our headsets. Generally PVC,
foam and silicone gel style ear seals can be wiped off with mild soap and water.
Do not submerge the ear seals in water. All three types of ear seals have vent
holes and water would enter the ear seal’s vent holes thus ruining the ear seal.
C. Communication Cord: Take care of your communication cord. Wires in the cord
can break if abused. Always disconnect them by disconnecting the plugs, not by
pulling the cords. Pulling on the cord instead of the plugs is a major cause of
headset repairs – it causes wire breaks and static.
3.2 FAQs
Some potential problems you may encounter are listed below along with the possible
solution.
Problem: Audio is heard in only one ear
Solution: Check Mono/Stereo selector for proper setting.
Problem: Communication, but the ANR system is not working
Solution: Make sure the headset is turned on. Check LED. Check to make sure the
battery is fresh.
Problem: “Motor boating” or low rumbling sound with headset turned on in a quiet
environment
Solution: This could be caused by a small pressure change - possibly caused by
opening a cabin door or by turning your head and causing a leak between your ear
headset and the ear seal. Check your ear seals for wear. Possibly the headsets were
stored improperly and the cushions were squeezed into an abnormal shape. A low
battery can also cause this problem.
