Contact JAC for return authorization, and for any questions regarding this warranty and how it applies to your unit(s). JAC is
the final arbiter concerning warranty issues.
2.4 Installation Procedures
WARNING: Loud noise can cause hearing damage. Set the headset volume to minimum before
conducting tests, and slowly increase the volume to a comfortable listening level.
CAUTION: The power input circuitry of the unit may be damaged if the installation does not conform to the
wiring instructions in this manual.
2.4.1 Installation Limitations
Those installing the eqJAC, on or in a specific type or class of aircraft, must determine that the aircraft installation
conditions meet standards. The eqJAC may be installed only by following the applicable airworthiness requirements.
2.4.2 Cabling and Wiring
The eqJAC plugs directly into a standard aircraft audio system headset connector. All wires to said connector shall be
selected in accordance with the original aircraft manufacturer’s maintenance instructions, or AC43.13-1B Change 1,
Paragraphs 11-76 through 11-78. Unshielded wire types shall qualify to MIL-W-22759 as specified in AC43.13-1B
Change 1, Paragraphs 11-85, 11-86, and listed in Table 11-11. Follow the Connector Map in Appendix A of this
manual.

2.4.3 Mechanical Installation
The eqJAC-001 is mounted via insertion into a U-92A/U Jack. It requires no direct cooling.
2.4.4 Post Installation Checks
Do not attach this unit until the following conditions are met:
a) Ensure that the batteries are new or fully charged
2.4.4.1 Power on Checks.
Power up the aircraft’s systems and confirm normal operation of all functions of the eqJAC. Refer to
Section 3 (Operation) for specific operational details.
a) Begin with a headset attached. Confirm correct operation for both Mic and phones output. Do not proceed
until the headsets are functioning correctly.
b) Unusual buzzes, hums or other background audio are symptomatic of multiple grounds, or noisy external
systems such as blowers or pumps sharing wiring with the audio system.
2.5 Installation Kit
The eqJAC-001 does not require an installation kit.
2.6 Installation Drawings
The drawings and documents required for Installation can be found in Appendix A of this manual.

SECTION 3 – OPERATION
3.1 Introduction
This section contains the operating instructions for the eqJAC-001.
3.2 Controls and Annunciators
3.2.1 Power On Annunciator
When the eqJAC-001 is connected to an aircraft intercom system and the internal batteries are charged, the Power
On Annunciator (green) will illuminate.
Note:If the eqJAC-001 internal batteries are allowed to fully discharge, the Power On light will be dark, and
there will be a complete loss of phones audio in the attached headset. If this happens, the headset should be
unplugged from the eqJAC-001 and plugged directly into the aircraft audio system.

3.2.2 Notch Center Frequency Control (NOTCH FREQ)
The Notch Center Frequency control is a rotary control that
allows the user to adjust the center position of the filtered
frequencies. The legend (NOTCH FREQ) to the left of the
control indicates the adjustment range (from 2 to 5 kHz).
Rotating the control clockwise (cw) will increase the
selected notch frequency, and rotating counterclockwise
(ccw) will decrease the notch frequency.
3.3 Operation
3.3.1 Microphone Operation
The eqJAC-001 functions when the Mic Bias from the Intercom System is detected, and allows the MIC INPUT audio
to be routed directly to the MIC OUTPUT.
3.3.2 Phone Operation
The eqJAC-001 PHONE INPUT has unity gain to the PHONE OUTPUT with the exception of the filtered frequencies.
3.4 Batteries
The eqJAC-001 requires four AA batteries. JAC recommends 2000 mAh (or higher) NiMH or alkaline batteries to
obtain the typical battery life.
Removal of the batteries WILL NOT change any internal configuration of the unit.
3.4.1 Inserting or Replacing the Batteries
To replace the batteries, remove
the battery cover by pressing
the battery lid release towards
the logo, lifting the lower end of
the cover, and then gently lifting
the lid up and away from the
body to release the two tabs
from the retaining slots.
The four batteries are located in
a compartment below the
cover.
Remove the batteries and insert
fully charged batteries,
matching the polarity marked
on the battery holder.

3.4.2 Battery Life
The operating duration of the eqJAC-001 with fully charged batteries before battery replacement isrequired is
typically >10hours @ rated audio level. Battery life depends on the following factors:
Charge capacity of the batteries installed:
The higher the capacity of the batteries, typically specified as 2000 to 2400 mAh (milliamp-hours), the longer the
battery life.
The type of batteries installed and the operating temperature:
During low temperature operation, rechargeable batteries will lose capacity. When operating in low temperatures
use alkaline batteries for a longer battery life.
The phones volume level and usage rate:
The lower the volume level and the less often audio is output to the phones, the longer the battery life.
3.4.3 Battery Cautions and Warnings
CAUTION: Follow these guidelines to prolong battery life and minimize the risk of unit malfunction.
Do not leave rechargeable batteries uncharged for long periods of time.
Do not leave rechargeable batteries charging for extended periods (more than 48 hours)
To ensure that the unit functions correctly, insert the new batteries with the positive and negative poles aligned
as indicated in the battery compartment.
When replacing the batteries, use only new or fully charged batteries.
Do not mix old and new batteries as this can cause battery leakage and/or damage to the unit.
Do not mix battery types.
WARNING:Follow these guidelines to prolong battery life, and minimize the risk of fire, chemical
burns, electrolyte leaks and/or injury.
FOLLOW the manufacturer's instructions for care and disposal of batteries.
DO NOT use sharp objects to remove the batteries.
DO NOT disassemble, puncture, burn or in any other way damage the batteries.
DO NOT let children handle the batteries.
USE ONLY recommended replacement batteries.
