Page 2: Power Switch (1) (Emg-Fail Safe Operation)
When the unit is turned off, either by pressing the volume control, or if the breaker is pulled removing power, the PMA8000BTi is in Fail-Safe mode. In this mode, the pilot’s headset is connected to COM 1 for transmit and re- ceive, and connected to unswitched input #1 for priority audio alerts. -
Page 3: Audio Selector
Intercom Operation IntelliVox® VOX-Squelch IntelliVox® is PS Engineering’s proprietary intercom squelch control. Through the use of digital processors, each microphone is monitored, and opens instantly when human speech is detected. This results in seamless con- versations aboard the airplane for crew and passengers, without syllable clip- ping or fatigue-inducing noise. -
Page 4: Intercom Volume Control
The pilot and copilot positions work with mono headsets. However, the In- telliAudio feature will not function. If a monaural headset is plugged in to a PMA8000BTi Stereo installation, one channel will be shorted and all passengers will lose one channel unless they switch to the “MONO”... -

Page 7: Bluetooth Connection
This can happen automatically, or by prompting the user to accept the connection again. The PMA8000BTi will always look for paired devices when it is turned on, and connect with the first one that allows connection. - Page 8 Can I play my laptop movie audio? If your laptop is compatible as Bluetooth A/V source (not all are), yes. Just add the PMA8000BTi as a Bluetooth device as you would a stereo speaker device. There are also Bluetooth devices available (such as the Sony TMR-BT10A Bluetooth Transmitter Adapter) to plug into the audio output jack that will enable you to stream music to the audio panel.

My music quality is very poor, and can only be heard in TEL mode, what’s wrong? Check your Smartphone, and be sure that it is paired with the PMA8000BTi as a “speaker” or “wireless speaker” in A2DP mode. Split Mode The Split mode puts the pilot on COM 1, while the copilot can use COM 2 independently. - Page 10 Some cellular telephones provide sidetone (where you hear yourself speak). If necessary, you can turn off the PMA8000BTi provided side- tone by holding both the TEL and ADF buttons at the same time, for more than one second. Music Muting Music source #1 (front panel jack and Music 1 input) has four muting modes, which are announced in the headset as they are activated.

“Smart Jack” Function When the PMA8000BTi has an audio signal on music #1 from the rear con- nector, the front panel jack automatically becomes a Priority Advisory input, and is heard in the crew headphones, and this input will NOT be muted by radio or intercom., if the Music 1 audio is actively playing. -
Page 16: Smart Function Keys (Sfk)
“Music” function controls how music is distributed in your airplane. There are two music sources available to the PMA8000BTi, in addition to the Bluetooth stream. Music 1 input can be either on the front jack, or the Music 1 input at the rear connector (Pins 23 and 24, J2). -

Alternate Music distribution modes are announced at power up, unless the power on announcement has been defeated. Power on announcement If the Intercom or Music Distribution is changed from the factory default, R2 March. 2016 PMA8000BTi Pilot Guide 202-890-0722 Page 17... -
Page 18: Music Muting
MUTE button LED is OFF. Annunciation is "Mute off." When the PMA8000BTi is turned on, it always begins in “Mute on” mode. The passengers’ intercom also has a SoftMute™ circuit. If the passengers hear the radio, or talk on the intercom, the music will mute. If the audio panel is in CREW mode, then the radio reception will not affect the passen- ger music. - Page 19 SPR LEDs will blink while the audio panel is in PA mode. The copilot can use the selected com while the pilot will be heard over the speaker. To exit push Mute and SPR again. This mode is also reset when power is cycled.
