music. The chime volume is not related to the music volume.
Note: Since it is possible to turn the volume completely off, you may need to turn the volume up if you
don’t hear music when you expect to.
It will take about 10 seconds to go from minimum to maximum volume.
NOTE: Increasing the volume to max level has the potential of increasing undesired noises that could
be coming from music sources. It’s preferred to leave this volume factory set a mid-range and use
your music source to increase the gain.
3.11 Bluetooth® interface
The PMA8000C has a Bluetooth interface. The audio panel is always “discoverable,” so you just need to
search for the PMA8000C from your Bluetooth-equipped phone or music source. The default access code is
0000, if needed. Once the PMA8000C has been “paired” with your Bluetooth device, the TEL distribution
will act as described in § 3.4.
Calls are answered or made from the telephone handset. You can disconnect from the handset.
3.11.1 Pairing and unpairing Bluetooth devices
The PMA8000C can be paired with up to eight individual devices. When that number is exceeded, one de-
vice will be automatically un-paired to allow the new device. The device eliminate will be selected at ran-
dom by the Bluetooth module. Hint, if your old phone is not recognized by the PMA8000C, you may simply
need to re-pair.
3.11.1.1 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, the music source must be paired first, before the telephone, if the telephone
also has music streaming capability. Otherwise, the Smartphone will also take over the music streaming.
Note: iPhones will probably take control over other music devices. In Droid you may select music or phone
only. With Blackberry, you may have to manually select the PMA8000C as audio source for each call.
If the PMA8000C fails to connect to multiple sources, you may need to reset the connection mode. To reset
the Bluetooth pairing scheme, turn off the audio panel, and turn back on while holding the NAV 2 and
ADF buttons. Hold the buttons until you hear a chime in the pilot‘s headset.
3.11.1.2 Changing access codes
If desired, you can change the 4-digit code needed to pair your device. Hold the button shown in the fol-
lowing table, and turn the PMA8000C on. You will hear a tone indicating that the code was changed.
Hold button on power up Pairing Code
COM 3 0000 (default)
NAV 1 1234
NAV 2 1111
3.11.2 Bluetooth Telephone Mode
When a Bluetooth-enabled telephone is paired and connected with the PMA8000C, the audio panel will
serve as a connection to the aircraft occupants. You can make and answer calls from the telephone handset
When the handset is active, the audio will be routed to the passengers and crew as follows:
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.
