Pairing and unpairing Bluetooth devices
The PMA450 can be paired with up to eight individual devices. When that
number is exceeded, the PMA450 will randomly drop a device to allow the
new device to be added.
Hint, if your old phone is not recognized by the PMA450, you may need to
reset from the Bluetooth menu.
Pairing separate music and telephone devices
It is possible to use a different music source (iPad, iPod with Bluetooth
adapter, Bluetooth enabled laptop, etc) and telephone. However, only one
music source can be streaming at a time.
Bluetooth® Telephone Mode
The PMA450 serves as a full duplex interface for telephone systems such as
portable cellular phones with Bluetooth connectivity.
Warning:
United States FCC Regulations contained in 47 CFR § 22.925 currently con-
tain prohibition on airborne operation of cellular telephones. “Cellular tele-
phones 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 aircraft leaves the ground, all cellular telephones on
board that aircraft must be turned off.”
When the Bluetooth-enabled cell phone rings, an incoming call menu opens,
showing caller ID, and the call can be answered by pushing the top line-
select button.
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 trans-
ceiver Com 1 or 2, simply by using their respective PTT switch.
In ISO intercom mode, when the PMA450 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. There will not be telephone sidetone in ISO. The pilot
will also have access to Com 1 or 2, and will transmit on that radio using the
PTT. All other selected audio is provided.
