Cellular phone
When a cellular telephone is connected to this jack using an adapter cord (PS
Part Number 425-006-7026), the PMA8000B audio panel will connect the
intercom to the cell phone when the “TEL” button is pressed (9). When the
TEL mode is off, the telephone ringer audio will be heard if it is present on
the telephone’s output (ringer may be muted by radio and intercom).
Audio Advisory Input
The front jack can be used as a priority advisory input for auxiliary systems
such as a GPS terrain advisory or portable traffic watch system. To prevent
radio or intercom from muting this input, press the “Mute” button.
NOTE: The front jack is no substitute for the certified installation of alerts
such as the GPS waypoint or autopilot tones. These still must be hard wired
into the back by your installer.
“Smart Jack” Function
When the PMA8000B has an audio signal on music #1 from the rear connec-
tor, the front panel jack automatically becomes a Priority Advisory input,
and is heard in the crew headphones, and this input will NOT be muted by
radio or intercom., if the Music 1 audio is actively playing.
Music Input
When used as a music input, the front panel jack music are treated as Music
#1. Using the Music function button, it can be distributed to all users, de-
pending on the intercom mode.
Smart Function Keys
(SFK)
With voice feedback, the configuration process is self-directed. These func-
tions are non-essential and non-required and as such are only an accessory
capability. Note: annunciations will be stopped by any audio received on the
com radio selected for transmit.
Looking at the front panel you’ll notice that the TEL, AUX, Mute and SPR
buttons have “Function” assignments.
To use these function keys Intercom, Monitor, and Music – press and
hold the desired function key until the audio annunciation of the mode be-
gins. NOTE: SFK are not available in the split mode.
There are three special functions. “Intercom” function is related to the in-
tercom audio distribution, and allows the crew to mute passengers’ intercom
feed when radios are active.
