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.
2.1 Microphone Placement
Your headset comes with a full flexible “memory” 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
electret microphone is critical in order to achieve clear communications. The microphone should be placed
at the corner of the mouth approximately 1/4” away from the lips.
2.2 Volume Control
The PA-2170BLU is fitted with two individual volume controls, one each for the right and left side of the
headsets. The volume controls are located on the comm-cord after the inline BlulLnk adapter. When
adjusting the volume control the pilot-in-command should adjust their volume control first with the audio
system turned on. Please remember that you may be dealing with 3 volume controls - radio, intercom and
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 true stereo in both ears.
2.4 Bluetooth Cell Phone/Music Connectivity
The PA-2170BLU is equipped with our Pilot BluLink adapter. Please see BluLink Manual for details and
instructions on how to use.
2.5 Silicone Gel Ear Seals
Your headset is fitted with our proprietary silicone gel ear seals. The new design eliminates 30% of the
weight of normal silicone ear seals and provides superior noise attenuation.
2.6 Sheepskin Head Pad
The PA-2170BLU features a soft, upgraded, breathable genuine sheepskin head pad.
2.7 Soft Padded Headset Case
We provide you with a custom padded headset case to protect your headset. You should treat your headset
like you would treat any other electronic product of value. Keep it clean, and keep it out of extreme
temperatures (hot or cold). Take care of your headset for best and long lasting results.
