Headsets that can use aircraft power (6 pin, 7 pin and 5 pin XLR) will automatically
turn on when the aircraft power is present. A switch inside the control module
battery compartment can configure this feature based on user preference.
The automatic shuto feature in your ProFlight Series 2 detects when the
headset is not in use and shuts it o after several minutes to preserve battery
power. The exact time it takes to shut o varies and can range between 6 and
45 minutes of inactivity.
Yes. As long as the headset is turned on, audio can be played through the
Bluetooth connection. However, Bluetooth audio will not play when the
headset has less than two hours of battery life left in the headset (on
Bluetooth-equipped models).
This is dependent upon aircraft type desired plug location and overall
system setup preferences. It could take as few as 30 minutes or several
hours to install. The system consists of just six soldered wires: two audio, two
microphone, a ground and a power wire. Installing near the existing phone
and mic jacks facilitates the installation as four of the six wires can be
installed directly to the back of the existing jacks. This also allows existing
jacks to be used with conventional aviation headsets. The cost of the
installation depends on the hourly rate of the avionics professional you
select to perform the job.
Installed/Aircraft-powered versions of the ProFlight Series 2 contain a
feature we call flexible power circuitry. Headsets with the flexible power
circuitry can be seamlessly switched between aircraft power and batteries.
This allows users to retain the flexibility and additional options of using
batteries or an optional adapter cable. The adapter cable is useful if you fly
in other aircraft without an aircraft-powered connector, or if you want to
disconnect from the aircraft and enjoy a quiet flight with active noise
reduction. Because batteries take up to 70% of the control module space,
the modules were designed to have the same size.
No. These versions of the ProFlight Series 2 do not require batteries for any
function when connected to the aircraft. However, if you keep batteries in
the module, you will be able to seamlessly continue use of the headset
when it is disconnected from the aircraft power. For example, you could
make a private phone call with the Bluetooth® version of the headset by
disconnecting from the panel. It also gives you the capability to use a small
adapter cable to fly in other aircraft instead of purchasing a new cable with
di erent connectors.
Yes. The lights can be dimmed by pressing the on/o button twice quickly.
You can reset the lights to normal mode by pressing the on/o button
twice quickly. The headset defaults to normal setting when the headset is
powered o .
