Quick reference PMA8000B Operation
This pull-out section covers advanced operation of the PMA8000B.
Split Mode
The Split mode puts the pilot on COM 1, while
the copilot can use COM 2 independently. To
enter the split mode, press both the COM 1 and
COM 2 XMT buttons at the same time. To exit,
press the desired COM 1 or COM 2 XMT but-
ton.
When you activate the Split mode, the intercom
is inhibited to avoid confusion with multiple conversations.
To
reactivate the intercom, press the Mute button.
Note: Split Mode does not turn off Nav, ADF, or Aux selected audio
to pilot. However, the copilot will only hear the selected com receiver
and unswitched inputs.
Telephone Operation
When the TEL button is active, the cellular telephone is added to the
intercom loop, and who is connected to the phone depends on the in-
tercom mode.
You can answer a call by pushing the TEL button while it is ringing.
Calls can be answered from 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 extin-
guish after a few moments.
Some cellular telephones do not provide sidetone (where you hear
yourself speak). You can have the PMA8000B provide sidetone by
holding both the TEL and ADF buttons at the same time, for more
than one second.
