Place the foam windscreen in mild soapy water. Rinse and make sure the
windscreen is fully air dried before reattaching to the microphone.

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. We recommend storing your
head gear in a headset case and keeping the cords free of obstruction to reduce
wear and tear on your headset.
4.0 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: ANR works but no communications
Solution: Check the headset and intercom volume controls to see if they are set too low.
Problem: Whistling, squealing or cricket sound
Solution: Check to see that the outer foam pad in still in-place in the center of the ear
seal. If the foam pad is missing, check your headset case to see if it has come loose. If
not, contact PILOT.
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.
