Headsets (merged)

Presumably that’s because in order for it to detect when it’s connected to a radio/intercom, the electronics would need to be permanently powered to know when to fully turn on.

That is easy enough. Many years ago I designed a product which released fire doors to auto close upon “hearing” a fire alarm. It used about 10 microamps. And years before that I designed an underwater device which listened to a coded audio signal; that had to run for several years and the job was achieved by having an ultra low power timer (under 1 µA) which turned on the main circuit for 1 second every few mins.

I find life is good with an in-ear Clarity Aloft headset that has no batteries and does not need noise cancellation. It’s a bit delicate but you do figure out how to use it and don’t have to worry about Auto-anything. The sound quality is also better than other headsets I’ve used.

With those on aircraft power it’s easier. “If you have power use it.” No batteries to run down.

I would deal with that by not putting on the headset

Because you may not want to turn on noise cancelation automatically when power on. E.g. I never turn on noise cancelation before starting the engine.

To understand you correctly, you have a post-2015 (BT Gen 2) LEMO headset cable with Auto-On switch, it’s set to On and the headset doesn’t turn on with ship’s power?

Yes; I can see this now. Thanks.

@Peter see my post #45.
