Warranty & Service
In order for the factory warranty to be valid, the installations in a certified air-
craft must be accomplished by an FAA-(or other ICAO agency) certified avi-
onics shop and authorized PS Engineering dealer. If the unit is being installed
by a non-certified individual in an experimental aircraft, a factory-made inter-
com harness must be used for the warranty to be valid.
PS Engineering, Inc. warrants this product to be free from defect in material
and workmanship for a period of three (3) years from the date of installation as
recorded in aircraft logbook and/or on FAA Form 337. During the first twelve
(12) months of the three-year warranty period, PS Engineering, Inc., at its op-
tion, will send a replacement unit at our expense if the unit should be deter-
mined to be defective after consultation with a factory technician. For the re-
maining twenty-four (24) months of the three-year warranty period, the unit
must be returned to PS Engineering, Inc., or an authorized warranty service
facility, for no-cost repair.
All transportation charges for returning the defective units are the responsibil-
ity of the purchaser. All domestic transportation charges for returning the ex-
change or repaired unit to the purchaser will be borne by PS Engineering, Inc.
The risk of loss or damage to the product is borne by the party making the ship-
ment, unless the purchaser requests a specific method of shipment. In this case,
the purchaser assumes the risk of loss.
This warranty is not transferable. Any implied warranties expire at the expira-
tion date of this warranty. PS Engineering SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. This warranty does not
cover a defect that has resulted from improper handling, storage or preserva-
tion, or unreasonable use or maintenance as determined by us. This warranty is
void if there is any attempt to dissemble this product without factory authoriza-
tion. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights, which may vary from state to state. Some states do not allow the exclu-
sion of limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limita-
tion or exclusions may not apply to you.
All items repaired or replaced under this warranty are warranted for the re-
mainder of the original warranty period. PS Engineering, Inc. reserves the
rights to make modifications or improvements to the product without obliga-
tion to perform like modifications or improvements to previously manufactured
products.

tion. Call PS Engineering, Inc. at (865) 988-9800 before you return any unit.

located immediately above the Com 2 transmitter pushbutton turns green. This
guarantees that the pilot will always hear the audio from the transceiver se-
lected for transmit.
The PMA8000 “remembers” the receiver selection, so that when switching
transmitters from C
OM 1 to C OM 2, if C OM 2 audio was previously selected,
C OM 1 audio will continue to be heard. This eliminates the pilot having to
switch Com 1 audio back on, after changing transmitters.
When switching from C
OM 1 to C OM 2 while Com 2 was not previously se-
lected, C OM 1 audio will be switched off. In essence, switching the mic selec-
tor will not override prior selection of COM receiver audio.
In normal (not split) modes, the PMA8000 gives priority to the pilot’s radio
Push-To-Talk (PTT). If the copilot it transmitting, and the pilot presses his
PTT, the pilot’s microphone will be heard over the selected com transmitter.
In TEL mode, the pilot microphone and headphones are connected to the cell
phone. The pilot PTT will switch the pilot mic to the selected com transceiver,
and allow continued aircraft communications to continue.
The copilot will also be able to transmit on the other selected radio with his
PTT as well.
Split Mode
The split mode can be activated at any time by pressing
the C
OM 1 and C OM 2 XMT buttons at the same time.
This places the pilot on C OM 1 and the Copilot on C OM 2.
Pilot on C OM 2 and Copilot on C OM 1 is not possible.
NOTE: Due to the nature of VHF communications signals, and the size
constraints in general aviation aircraft, it is probable that there will be
some bleed-over in the Split mode, particularly on adjacent frequencies.
PS Engineering makes no warranty about the suitability of Split Mode in
all aircraft conditions.
Note: Split Mode does not turn off Nav, ADF, or AUX selected audio to pilot.
However, the copilot will only hear the selected communications receiver.
Swap Mode (Switch from Com 1 to Com 2 remotely)
With a yoke mounted, momentary switch, the pilot can change from the current
Com transceiver to the other by depressing this switch. To cancel "Swap
Mode," the pilot may either press the yoke mounted switch again, or select a
different Com with the XMT buttons.
Audio Selector (4)
Navigation receiver audio is selected through five momentary, push-button,
backlit switches. You will always hear the audio from the selected transceiver.
