7. Can I play my laptop movie audio?
a. If your laptop is compatible as Bluetooth A/V source (not all
are), yes. Just add the PMA8000D as a Bluetooth device as
you would a stereo speaker device. There are also Bluetooth
devices available (such as the Sony TMR-BT10A Bluetooth
Transmitter Adapter) to plug into the audio output jack that
will enable you to stream music to the audio panel. Note: lap-
top computers with spinning hard drives may fail to work
abut 7,500’, due to a loss of air pressure on the disc mecha-
nism.
8. Can the Bluetooth be played through Music 2?
a. No. However, you can engage Music Function, “Music 1, all
headsets.”
9. My music quality is very poor, and can only be heard in tele-
phone mode, what’s wrong?
a. Check your Smartphone, and be sure that it is paired with the
PMA8000D as a “speaker” or “wireless speaker” in A2DP
mode.
Bluetooth Telephone Operation
In a dual PMA8000D Installation, the pilot’s Bluetooth transceiver
services music and telephone for the pilot only. It is not possible to
share the phone connected to the pilot’s audio panel. If the pilot’s
cell phone does not provide sidetone on the Bluetooth connection,
the pilot will not hear himself on the telephone.
In order for the pilot to use the cell phone, the audio panel must be in
the ISO mode on the intercom to facilitate the call. The pilot will still
have complete access to the aircraft radios, and will transmit on the
selected com when he uses the radio push-to-talk.
The copilot panel’s Bluetooth transceiver will provide music and tele-
phone for the copilot and the passengers.
Warning:
United States FCC Regulations contained in 47 CFR § 22.925 contain
prohibition on airborne operation of cellular telephones. “Cellular
telephones installed in or carried aboard airplanes, balloons or any
other type of aircraft must not be operated while such aircraft are air-
borne (not touching the ground). When any aircraft leaves the ground,
all cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be turned off.”
