User Manual
Important
Please read these instructions in full before use. There are some user settings that
may require pre-setting before use. Damage may be caused if you do not set the
headset for your radio.
The MicroAvionics PM100 headset has been designed for high noise environments and
offers state of the art electronic noise filtering coupled together with an extremely high
quality noise cancelling microphone. You will be able to hear and transmit clear
signals even in the harshest environment.
The headset can be worn under a MicroAvionics EN966 certified aviation helmet. Our
helmets come in four sizes. We always recommend you use our helmet.
The headsets have been designed to produce high quality music. The radio volume
should be kept high and the headset volume should be low. If you inadvertently set the
headset volume high then you will hear a small amount of bleed through side tone in
your headset, thus we recommend a low headset volume setting to cancel this out.
PM 100 Headset
The PM100 headset is designed to work with most radios. The headset can easily be user
configured to work with most radios without the need of opening up the headset to adjust the
electronics. The user simply adjusts the position of some hidden DIP switches to configure
the headset for the radio type (e.g. Airband to PMR radio).
You can connect a single auxiliary input lead to the headset, or buy a remote splitter box
which enables you to connect up to 5 remote cables to the headset.
The headset has a side tone. Side tone enables the user to hear them self talk whilst
transmitting. This stops the user from shouting and enables the receiving party to hear you
easily without distortion. There is a built in muting circuit safety feature. If you are listening to
music, telephone or second radio and the MASTER radio receives a signal the other devices
will mute. This gives priority to the master radio for safety reasons.
