2.0 Fitting Your Headset
Wearing your headset properly is paramount in achieving both comfort and the best performance possible.
The headset should be placed on your head and slowly pulled down so that each ear cup is properly
positioned over the ears.
It should apply slight pressure on your head without being to snug. You may need to make your final
adjustments in a high noise environment and with the ANR electronics turned on.
2.1 Microphone Placement
Your headset comes with a fully flexible microphone boom and a noise canceling electret microphone. The
boom can be rotated 360 degrees for left or right side use. Proper placement of the microphone is critical in
order to achieve clear communications. The microphone should be positioned at the corner of your mouth
approximately ¼” away from your lips.
2.2 Volume Control (On Comm-Cord Splitter)
The PA-1771T is fitted with two individual volume controls, one each for the right and left side of the
headsets. The volume control is located on one side of the triangular splitter on the comm-cord. The other
side contains the mono-selector switch. When adjusting the volume control the pilot-in-command should
adjust their volume control first with the audio system turned on and the ANR system turned off. Then turn
the ANR back on and adjust the individual sides of the headset.
2.3 Mono/Stereo Selector (On Comm-Cord Splitter)
Your headset comes standard with a Mono/Stereo selector switch which is located on one side of the
triangular splitter. “M” indicates the mono position while “S” indicates the stereo position. The volume control
is on the reverse side. It should be noted that if you are using a monaural intercom and your headset is set
in the stereo position, you will only hear through one speaker of your headset. With a stereo intercom you
will hear true stereo in both ears.
