3.7 Telephone Mode
The Com 3 mode can serve as a full duplex interface for telephone systems such as AirCell or portable cel-
lular phones with earpiece jacks, if the installation is correctly configured. When interfaced with an ap-
proved airborne telecommunications system, the PMA7000B can serve as a audio control and distribution
center. Each intercom position has a "hook switch." The pilot's hook switch is the "Com 3" button on the
audio panel, the others are discrete switches mounted adjacent to the headset jacks. When Com 3 is active
in the duplex mode, the TX button will blink about twice as fast as the normal transmit rate.
When the intercom is in ALL mode, the pilot can speak on the phone only if the Com 3 is selected for
transmit (Com 3 Xmt button activated). If any passenger places his or her switch into the “off-hook”
position all passengers will also be heard on the phone. All will hear selected audio. Com 1 audio is auto-
matically heard in the headsets. The pilot and copilot will have transmit capability on the other selected
transceiver Com 1 or 2, simply by using their respective PTT switch.
In CREW mode, the pilot and copilot are may use the telephone, with their respective hook switch (the
pilot selects Com 3 on the Xmt selector). Any passenger who places their switch into the off-hook position
will also have access to the phone, and all four passengers will hear the conversation.
In ISO intercom mode, when the PMA7000B is in the Com 3 mode, the pilot position is in the "Phone
Booth." Only the pilot will hear the telephone, and only he will be heard. He will also have access to Com 1
or 2, and will transmit on that radio using the PTT. All selected audio is provided. If any other passenger
goes “off hook” they will hear the phone.
Note: Because the cellphone uses an intercom circuit, all stations on that circuit will lose
intercom capability when the cellphone is in use.
3.8 Marker Beacon Operation (If present)
The optional Marker Beacon Receiver uses visual and audio indicators to alert you when the aircraft passes
over a 75 MHz transmitter.
