This pilots guide provides operating instructions for the KMA 30 Audio Panel. Please read it carefully before using the equipment so that you can take full advantage of its capabilities. This guide is divided into operating sections such as Transceiver Selection, Audio Selector, Intercom, and Marker Beacon Receiver, and special func- tions.

tion. When a com is selected for receive, it will stay selected until manually deselected, even if you select, and then deselect its transmitter. Unless the audio panel is in “split” mode, the KMA 30 gives priority to the pilot’s radio Push-To-Talk (PTT). If the MONITOR function is activated (see pg 16 for more details), the au- dio from this radio will be muted when the primary radio (selected for trans- mit) is receiving a signal.

From your Bluetooth enabled device, search for other devices, and select the KMA 30. 3. If an access code is required, enter “0000” to connect to the KMA 30, unless this is changed (see FAQ #2) You can now make and receive calls with the audio directed through the audio panel, and stream music to Music input 1.

6. My Smartphone didn’t reconnect, what do I do? a. It is most likely that the KMA 30 dropped the pairing either be- cause of added pair that exceeded the limit, or because of some corruption in the stored information. Simply un-pair by delet- ing the KMA 30 in your Bluetooth phone, and re-pairing with the audio panel.

Recorder Playback The internal recorder is always storing the audio from the radio selected for transmit. To play back the last incoming audio, hold the RCV (top) button on the radio selected to transmit for one second, and release. The playback will start. Playback stops if the radio becomes active, but the new incoming message will not be re- corded.
