Smart Function Key (SFK) Configuration
Secondary functions give the PMA8000BT some special capabilities.
“Intercom” allows the passengers and crew to converse, in ALL in-
tercom mode, without distracting the crew from radio duties. The pas-
senger microphones are cut out from the crew when the radio is ac-
tive, and the passengers never hear aircraft radios. Press and hold the
TEL button until the audio annunciation starts (about 1 second) to
activate the function, and you will hear “Alternate Intercom Func-
tion.” Hold the button again to exit, and you will hear “Standard Inter-
com Function.”
“Monitor” activates Monitor Mode. In this mode, the audio from the
COM radio that is selected for transmit will mute the other COM au-
dio when it is active. For example, if COM 1 is selected to transmit to
ATC, but COM 2 is receiving weather information; the ATC will
mute the audio from the weather while ATC is transmitting. In Moni-
tor mode, the RCV COM indicator will blink every few seconds as a
status indication. Monitor mode is set off when the unit is turned off.
“Music” controls music distribution, and has three states; Standard
Music Distribution, Alternate Music Distribution and Music 1 All
Headsets.
Music 1 (the Bluetooth device or the Music 1 input on the rear con-
nector) can be distributed to all headsets depending on intercom
mode.
In Standard Music Distribution, Music 1 is provided to the crew, and
Music 2 is independently provided to the passengers.
In Alternate Music Distribution, Music 1 is provided to everybody in
