3.7.1.1
3.7.2 Mono headsets in Stereo Installation
The pilot and copilot positions work with stereo or mono headsets. All passenger headsets are connected
in parallel. Therefore, if a monaural headset is plugged in to a PAR100EX Stereo installation, one chan-
nel will be shorted. Although no damage to the unit will occur, passengers with stereo headsets will only
hear in one ear, unless they switch to the “MONO” mode on their headset.
3.7.3 Intercom Modes (8)
The “ICS” pushbutton switch on the left side of the panel provides the selection
of the three intercom modes.
This button cycles through the intercom modes, from left to right, then right to
left as: ISO, ALL CRW and CRW, ALL, ISO. An LED behind the text shows
which mode is currently active.
I SO : The pilot is isolated from the intercom and is connected only to the aircraft
radio system. He will hear the aircraft radio reception (and sidetone during radio transmissions). Copilot
will hear passengers’ intercom and entertainment, while passengers will hear copilot intercom and enter-
tainment. Neither will hear aircraft radio receptions or pilot transmissions.
When the audio panel is put into the “Split Mode” (pilot on COM 1, copilot on COM 2), the intercom
automatically enters the ISO mode to prevent confusion with two intercom conversations. The intercom
can be changed to the CRW or ALL mode if desired.
A LL : All parties will hear the aircraft radio and intercom. Crew and passengers will hear selected enter-
tainment. During any radio or intercom communications, the music volume automatically decreases. The
music volume increases gradually back to the original level after communications have been completed.
C REW : Pilot and copilot are connected on one intercom channel and have exclusive access to the aircraft
radios. They may also listen to Entertainment 1. Passengers can continue to communicate with themselves
without interrupting the Crew and may listen to entertainment as configured.
3.8 Telephone Mode
3.8.1 Bluetooth Telephone Connection
Before the PAR100EX can be used in TELEPHONE mode with a
wireless Bluetooth connection, the unit must be associated with a
specific phone.
Activate the “seek device” function on the cell phone, and then enter the access code “0000” when the
phone detects the “PAR100EX” on the list of available devices.
When the PAR100EX is paired with the Bluetooth device, the letters “BT” appears in the display.
This process will be necessary for any phone to be used, and only one cell phone can be associated with
the audio panel at a time. If the additional phones are associated with the PAR100EX at the same time,
only the first phone will transfer audio to the panel.
If the Bluetooth connection fails to reconnect, or becomes unreliable for any reason, you can reset all
connections by turning off the PAR100EX, holding the A1 and A2 buttons down, and turning the unit
back on. This clears out all paired devices.
