Only the pilot will hear the telephone, and only he will be heard. He will also have access to Com 1 or 2, and
will transmit on that radio using the PTT. All selected audio is provided to the pilot. Pilot will
not
have
telephone sidetone in Isolate mode.
NOTE
Because the cell phone uses an intercom circuit, all stations on that circuit will lose intercom capability when
the cell phone is in use.
WARNING
Federal Communications Commission regulation 47 CFR 22.925 prohibits the use of 800MHz Cellular hand-
sets in any aircraft that is airborne. Violation of this rule could result in suspension of service and/or a fine.
3.10 Music Inputs
The PAR200A has two
independent
music inputs at the rear connector. The PAR200A also has the ability to
receive streaming music from a Bluetooth-enabled device. If both inputs are active, both will be heard in the
headset at the same time, there is not any prioritization.
Music #1 will be normally heard by the pilot and copilot positions ONLY. Music 2 is ONLY available to the
two passenger positions.
Music #1 can also be distributed to the passengers using the rear connector control (See § 2.7.1.1). The
streamed music in the PAR200A is also Music 1.

command of an aircraft allow the operation of, any portable electronic device on any of the following U.S.-registered
civil aircraft. . .
“(b) (5) Any other portable electronic device that the operator of the aircraft has determined will not cause interference
with the navigation or communication system of the aircraft on which it is to be used.”

3.10.1 Music Muting (9)
There are two SoftMute™ muting circuits. The front panel "Mute" button has four modes, and con-
trols the Mute function for music 1. Music 2 muting is controlled by an external switch, and has two
modes, mute on and mute off.
The SoftMute™ circuit will cut the music out whenever there is conversation on the radio, the in-
tercom, or both, depending on the “Mute” mode selected. When that conversation stops, the music
returns to the previous level comfortably, over a second or so.
The Music 1 mute functions are controlled through sequential pushes of the Mute button, with LED indication
