If the passengers always want to hear the source in Music 1, input through the rear connector, regardless of
the intercom mode (ISO/ALL/CRW), select “Music 1 all headsets.”
3.7.2
Music in Pilot ISO mode
If desired, the pilot can elect to hear Music #1, in the ISO mode. Pressing the MUSIC button will add music
to the pilot headset.
This mode will be indicated by the ICS ISO LED blinking slowly (once in every 5 seconds). The pilot will
now hear Music #1, and it will mute in accordance with the Mute mode.
3.8
Bluetooth® Telephone Mode
Warning:
United States FCC Regulations contained in 47 CFR § 22.925 contain prohibition on airborne operation of
cellular telephones. “Cellular telephones installed in or carried aboard airplanes, balloons or any other type
of aircraft must not be operated while such aircraft are airborne (not touching the ground). When any air-
craft leaves the ground, all cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be turned off.”
The telephone mode serves as a full duplex interface for telephone systems such as cellular phones with
Bluetooth® connectivity. When interfaced with an approved airborne telecommunications system, the
PMA8000G can serve as an audio control and distribution center.
When the PMA8000G detects a Bluetooth® telephone call, the PLAY button will
blink to indicate the signal. Pressing the PLAY button will pick up the call. While
on a call, pressing PLAY again will end the phone call.
3.8.1
Bluetooth Telephone users
The individual connected to the telephone depends upon the intercom mode select-
ed.
In ALL intercom mode, all crew and passengers will be heard on the phone when they speak. All will hear
selected audio. Com audio is automatically heard in the headsets.
In CREW mode, the pilot and copilot are connected to the telephone. The pilot and copilot will have
transmit capability on the other selected transceiver Com 1 or 2, simply by using their respective PTT
switch.
In ISO intercom mode, when the PMA8000G is in the TEL mode, the pilot position is in the "Phone
Booth." Only the pilot will hear the telephone, and only he will be heard. He will also have access to Com 1
or 2, and will transmit on that radio using the PTT. All selected audio is provided.
NOTE
Because the cell phone uses an intercom circuit, all stations on that circuit will lose intercom capability
when the cell phone is in use. Intercom conversations will still be present if the cell phone provides
sidetone, or if the audio panel is modified for telephone sidetone.
PS Engineering does not guarantee compatibility with personal cellular telephones.

3.8.2
Cellular telephone sidetone
As shipped from PS Engineering, the PMA8000G provides cellular telephone sidetone (the user’s voice fed
back to the headset).
3.9
flightmate®
The flightmate® is an audio storage system with three features, radio playback, stored
audio playback for a checklist or reminders, and four audio messages can be triggered
by external triggers, and acknowledged if desired.
