  • 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 PMA8000D is in Fail-Safe mode. In this mode, the crewmember’s headset is connected to COM 1 for transmit and receive.

  • Page 3: Audio Selector

    Receiver selection will stay selected until manually deselected, even if you select, and then deselect its trans- mitter. The PMA8000D gives priority to the pilot’s audio panel radio Push-To-Talk (PTT) if both panels have selected the same transmitter. Transmitter selection...

  • Page 6: Marker Beacon Operation

    Bluetooth ® Telephone In a dual PMA8000D Installation, the pilot’s Bluetooth transceiver services music and telephone for the pilot only. It is not possible to share the phone connected to the pilot’s audio panel. If the pilot’s cell phone does not pro- vide sidetone on the Bluetooth connection, the pilot will not hear himself on the telephone.

  • Page 7: Bluetooth Connection

    This can happen automatically, or by prompting the user to accept the connection again. The PMA8000D will always look for paired devices when it is turned on, and connect with the first one that allows connection.
  • Page 8 My Smartphone didn’t reconnect, what do I do? It is most likely that the PMA8000D dropped the pairing either because of added pair that exceeded the limit, or because of some corruption in the stored information. Simply un-pair by deleting the PMA8000D in your Bluetooth phone, and re- pairing with the audio panel.

  • Page 9: Bluetooth Telephone Operation

    Can I play my laptop movie audio? If your laptop is compatible as Bluetooth A/V source (not all are), yes. Just add the PMA8000D 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.

Smart Function Keys (SFK) Configuration These secondary functions give the PMA8000D some special capa- bilities. “Intercom” Alternate Intercom mode allows the passengers and crew to converse, in ALL intercom mode, without distracting the crew from radio duties.
  • Page 12 The front panel jack is also available to the passengers in the ISO and ALL intercom modes. The PMA8000D will announce the Alternate Intercom and Music distribution functions at unit power up. To defeat the announcement at power up, hold the COM 3 and AUX buttons for about two seconds.
