Interconnect plug
The headset interconnect plug connects the headset cable to a power
source. The power source can be an installed connector in the aircraft’s
control panel or an adapter cable connected to a portable battery pack.
The interconnect plug is designed for quick connection and removal. To
ensure correct pin alignment, the plug has a keyway.
Note:
The illustrations below show the insertion of the headset inter-
connect plug into the adapter cable. To insert the interconnect plug into
the aircraft control panel, the same procedure would be used.
To insert: rotate the plug until the keyway is aligned; then insert until it
locks in place.

Microphone placement
For good communication clarity and noise rejection, locate the micro-
phone housing so that it just brushes your lips.
