PM3000 Pilot Guide & User Manual
the option to listen to music during flight. During intercom or aircraft radio
reception, this music will automatically mute to allow communications
without distraction. When the activity ceases, the Soft Mute™ circuit
gradually returns the music to the original listening volume. By depressing
the “Mute” control (located on the Squelch knob) once, it is possible to
have the music remain at a constant level, regardless of any ICS or radio
traffic.
During various phases of flight, the degree of importance of the aircraft
radio will vary. Because the "ISO" mode connects the pilot directly to the
aircraft radio, select the "ISO" mode when the pilot must have top priority
on radio transmissions.
Both pilot and copilot have transmit capabilities over the radio. The
PM3000 only allows the voice of the person who presses their PTT to be
transmitted over the aircraft radio. If both pilot and copilot press the PTT at
the same time, the copilot will override. When either pilot or co-pilot
presses PTT, all other microphones are disabled. The pilot can regain prior-
ity by switching the unit off.
Approval Basis
The PM3000, part number 11931(A) or 11932 is FAA-approved under
TSO-C50c, and RTCA, Inc. DO-214. Due to the fact that there is no TSO
for the recorder function in the 11933 and 11934, these units are not fully
TSO-approved. It is the responsibility of the installer to determine the ap-
proval basis for these units.
