Notes

•

For use with a stereo intercom, connect the left and right channels

to their respective positions. If your intercom provides a monaural

audio signal, connect pins 3 & 4 together to the tip of the existing

phone jack.

•

Do not use excessive force or bend the installed connector.

This may damage or break internal solder joints.

•

If the boom microphone works on radio transmit but not through

the intercom, check pin 6. It may be incorrectly wired to the PTT

segment of the microphone jack.

•

The wires connecting pins 3 & 4 and pins 5 & 6 are shielded,

twisted pairs with a shield termination exiting with a black/white

wire for each pair. Connect shields to existing audio wiring shields

or to audio ground, if existing wiring is not shielded.

•

The Bose aircraft panel connector cannot be installed to an audio

system using transformer-coupled audio outputs. Call the Bose

Aviation Headset Department for details: 800-287-0611.

•

Connecting power directly to pins 5 or 6 will result in damage to

the microphone.

•

The wire guage is 22 AWG.

Adhesives approved for use with this connector are:

•

VTCS-6 Vibratite

• Three Bond 1401

Do not let cyanoacrylate-based adhesives, flux remover, or other

caustic compounds contact the connector body. These chemicals

cause irreparable damage to the connector.
