Narrative:
I was handling all the communication - the captain was flying. He had just bought a new headset. In cruise I told him 'I am off, I'll give the PA.' while I gave a short PA, the captain was working on exchanging parts from 1 headset to another and lost communication with center. The company had to SELCAL us (about :15 min later).
