Avoid using headphones/earphones/speaker at high volume.

Keep the volume at a moderate level.

Follow these tips to keep your HT-2 working well for a long time:

 Do not try to test Headsets, Headphones o microphones other than

Aviation high impedance.

 Clean your HT-2 with a soft lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.

 Do not expose the tester to sun, rain or moisture to avoid any malfunction.

 Clean the headset plugs before inserting them into the tester jack(s)

 Never force any connector into the jack(s)

 Remove the battery if the unit is not going to be used for a long period of
time.

The equipment is designed to operate in a sheltered environment as follows:

ENVIRONMENT TEMPERATURE RANGE HUMIDITY

HT- 2 Air & Ground Headset and Microphone Test Set

The HT-2 is a battery-powered tester capable of checking high impedance fixed

wing, rotary wing, ground crew, mechanic and pushback headsets. It also can test
high impedance aviation headphones, hand-held microphones and extension wires.

This tester is ideal for Flight Schools, Flight Operations, Ground Services companies,
Headset Sales Facilities, Calibration Labs, Avionics Shops and any Aircraft Service or
Repair Facility.

Features:

 Battery operation with low battery alert.

 Test microphones fidelity by amplifying its output, under normal speech

conditions, and applying the signal to the phones or the front panel speaker.

 Test headphones, using an external microphone or an internal 1 KHz sinusoidal

tone.

 Test mono and stereo headphones.

 Test PTT switches and extension wires.

Not having to push any PTT switch to activate the tester gives the advantage of
using both hands to find momentary interruptions in the wiring.

Accepts M642/4-1 (PJ-055B), M642/5-1 (PJ-068), M642/2-1 (PJ-051B) and U-174/U plugs.
