3.12 Bluetooth® interface
The PMA8000BTi has a Bluetooth interface. The audio panel is always “discoverable,” so you just need to
search for the PMA8000BT from your Bluetooth-equipped phone or music source. The default access code
is 0000, if needed. Once the PMA8000BTi has been “paired” with your Bluetooth device, the TEL distribu-
tion will act as described in § 3.4.
You can answer a call by pushing the TEL button while it is ringing. Calls can be answered from either the
telephone handset or the audio panel. You can disconnect from either the handset or the audio panel. When
a call is disconnected or dropped, the TEL button indicator will extinguish after a few moments.
3.12.1 Pairing and unpairing Bluetooth devices
The PMA8000BTi can be paired with up to eight individual devices. When that number is exceeded, one
device will be automatically un-paired to allow the new device. The device eliminate will be selected at
random by the Bluetooth module. Hint, if your old phone is not recognized by the PMA8000BTi, you may
simply need to re-pair.
3.12.1.1 Bluetooth Reset
If the Bluetooth stops responding to paired devices, it may be because of corrupted device data. Simply
reset the Bluetooth system as follows:
1. Power off audio panel
2. Put the pilot’s headset on
3. Hold down NAV2 and MKR buttons at the same time
4. Turn ON the audio panel, and continue to hold down the two buttons for at least 5 seconds or there
is a "ding" sound in headset, if you do not hear this chime start over.
5. Audio panel is re-initiation complete
6. Remove PMA8000BTi device from your smart phone
7. Search for Bluetooth devices from your smart phone
8. Select PMA8000BTi
9. If password is required try 0000
10. Once paired stream music and place phone call
3.12.1.2 Paring separate music and telephone devices
3.13 It is possible to use a different music source (iPad, iPod with Blue-
tooth adapter, Bluetooth enabled laptop, etc) and telephone. However,
the music source must be paired first, before the telephone, if the tele-
phone also has music streaming capability. Otherwise, the
Smartphone will also take over the music streaming. Internal Recorder
and playback
The PMA8000BTi comes equipped with an internal recorder. This digital system stores the last incoming
audio from the radio you have selected for transmit. It can store as many of 8 incoming messages, and up to
45 seconds of audio. The pilot and copilot hear the playback. It is also possible to modify the unit to ex-
clude the copilot from the playback, and annunciation playback. Contact PS Engineering, for more details.
Recording is automatic. To play back the last recorded message, press and hold the COM Receive pushbut-
ton associated with the selected radio transmitter for about one (1) second. You can either wait for the mes-
sage to finish playing before accessing the prior message, or cancel the current playback and step back-
ward. To cancel the playback, press and hold the COM receive playback button for two seconds (2). The
next time the button is pressed for one (1) second, the next earlier message will be heard.
The playback
will stop whenever there is more incoming selected com audio, and the message can be replayed
from the beginning by pressing the selected Com Receive button again for 1 second.
