Telephone Mode (9)
The TEL mode serves as a full duplex interface for telephone systems such as AirCell or portable cellular
phones with earpiece jacks. When interfaced with an approved airborne telecommunications system, the
PMA8000-SR can serve as a audio control and distribution center.
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 PMA8000-SR 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 cellphone uses an intercom circuit, all stations on that circuit will lose intercom
capability when the cellphone is in use.
PS Engineering does not guarantee compatibility with personal cellular telephones.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio Operation (10)
Primary operation of the SIRIUS satellite radio module is through the portable remote control, PN 051-
880-0150. This device must be pointed at the PMA8000 front panel to control the satellite function.
The Remote has the following functions:
o SIRIUS Mode Module on/off (does NOT affect audio
panel/intercom/marker beacon operation)
o Direct channel selection
o Volume control
o SIRIUS Radio mute
o Next/last channel
o Next/last category
o Channel store and recall for favorite channels
o “Query” button to playback channel in use
o “Scan” button that allows the user to sample channels in order
NOTE: The Satellite Radio audio follows the same muting rules, and
will be muted automatically unless the Karaoke mode is enabled.
To turn the Satellite Radio on, press the On/Off button. A voice will say,
“Power on.”. The satellite radio will begin to play on the last used channel.
To turn the SIRIUS radio off, press the button again. This will be indicated
by two beeps.
To change the channel, simply press the digits (0 through 9). As soon as
the first digit is pressed, the audio will beep indicating a button has been
pressed. If another digit is not pressed within two seconds, the SIRIUS will
change to the new channel, and announce “Channel, followed by the selected channel number.
When selecting the channel directly, you may either press “enter” to accept the change immediately. If no
“enter” is pressed, the radio will change channels approximately 2 seconds after the last digit.
The NEXT CH and PREV CH buttons move to the next higher (or lower) channel number, and will say
the channel number.
The NEXT CAT and PREV CAT buttons will change to the first channel in the next higher (or lower)
category, such as from Pop to Rock, Country, Hip-Hop, R&B, Dance, Jazz, Classical, Latin, News, Sports,
Entertainment and back to Pop.
