2.0 Fitting Your Headset
Wearing your headset properly is paramount to achieving both comfort and maximum
performance. First slightly loosen the hand adjustable knobs on the headband. The
headset should be placed on your head and slowly pulled down so that the ear cups are
properly positioned over each ear for maximum noise attenuation. Tighten the knurled
knobs when the headset feels correct. It should apply slight pressure on your head
without being 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 full flex microphone boon and a noise canceling electret
microphone. The boom can be rotated 360 degrees for left or right side use. Proper
placement of the electret microphone is critical in order to achieve clear
communications. The microphone should be placed at the corner of the mouth
approximately ¼’’ away from the lips.
2.2 Volume Controls (On Comm-Cord Splitter)
The PA-1761T is fitted with individual volume controls, located on one side of the
triangular splitter on the comm-cord. The other side contains the mono-selector switch.
When adjusting the volume controls, 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. 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 in “true stereo” in both ears.
