PREPARING THE HEADSET FOR USE
Connecting the headset to the aircraft
The Bose
®
A20
®
Aviation Headset can be configured to either plug into aircraft
power or rely entirely on battery power.
Using the 6-pin plug
A single 6-pin plug inserted into the 6-pin connector provides the headset with
aircraft power and intercom audio.
If your headset is aircraft-powered, a 6-pin connector must be installed and
mounted to an aircraft panel. See “Mounting the aircraft panel connector” on
page 31.
Note: An adapter is available from Bose to convert a 6-pin connector to a dual
G/A or U174 plug for additional connection flexibility.
To connect the headset
1. Align the 6-pin plug to the connector keyway by matching the narrow bar
on the plug to the slot on the connector.
2. Firmly press the plug into the connector jack.
To disconnect the headset
1. Pull back on the sleeve near the end of the 6-pin plug.
2. Gently continue pulling back to remove the plug from the connector.
CAUTION: Do not pull the connector out without first pulling back the sleeve.
Forcing the connector out will damage the cable and/or the aircraft instrument panel.
