E - 13 ANR

Fitting Instructions

Properly fitting Flightcom's E-13 ANR headset to each user's head is crucial to proper
performance. The headpad should fit comfortably on top of the head without a gap
or space between the head and headpad. The headset should be centered on the
head and the ear seals should comfortably cover the ears without being placed too
far forward on the jawbone or face.
• The mic boom may be worn on the left or right side of the head.
When switching between right and left dress, rotate the mic
boom in an upward direction as shown in the diagram.
Rotating the mic boom in the wrong direction may damage
the boom or wiring.
• The mic should be no more than 1/8" from mouth to ensure
clarity and peak performance of the noise canceling mic.
• To increase the size of the headset, slide the domes in a
downward direction. To decrease the size of the headset,
slide the domes in an upward direction.
• Volume control is provided for each ear dome.

Installation

• Insert the headset plug into your aircraft comm panel jack.
• Volume controls are located on each ear dome. Adjust to the desired volume level
on each dome. Note: the ear dome volume control does not affect the volume of
auxiliary listening or cellphone devices.
• Reduce volume on aircraft interphone system before engaging the ANR circuit.
Aircraft interphone volume can be adjusted to a comfortable level after the ANR
circuit has been activated.

Battery Box

The battery box uses two AA batteries to supply power to the headset's ANR circuit.
The battery box also contains additional ports for cellphone and auxiliary listening
devices.

Power On

To turn the ANR power on, depress the "power" button located on the top of the
battery box for two to three seconds. The ANR power will be active immediately,
while simultaneously checking the battery voltage. The battery check first illuminates
the bottom yellow LED and then gradually builds through the green LEDs. The
number of green LEDs lit will be proportionate to the remaining battery life. Four
LED lights indicate full battery voltage capacity. As the battery voltage decreases,
so does the number of LEDs lit. If the yellow LED is continuously illuminated, the
batteries will need to be replaced. If the batteries are not replaced, the unit will
automatically shut off when voltage has dropped below 1.2V.
