FCC Regulation 47 CFR § 22.925
Prohibition on airborne operation of cellular telephones

be operated while such aircraft are airborne (not touching the ground). When any aircraft leaves the
ground, all cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be turned off.
PS Engineering, Inc. does not endorse using unapproved cellular telephone equipment in flight, and takes
no responsibility for the user’s action.

2.4.11 Public Address Mode
By pressing the Mute and SPR pushbuttons at the same time, the PMA8000BT will be placed into public
address (PA) mode. In this mode, the pilot will be talking over the cockpit speaker when he presses his
PTT switch. Copilot will still continue on the selected COM radio.
When the Digital Output is enabled, J2 Pin 19 will go low when in PA mode, providing a logic level that
can be used to incorporate a speaker-switching scheme. This 50 mA circuit (10Ω Z) can control a switch-
ing means such as a relay that would transfer the speaker output amplifier from the cockpit speaker to
drive another cabin speaker. If the PA mode is used with a microphone in proximity to an active coc kpit
speaker, feedback might result.
To
enable
the PA Digital Output located at the rear connector, the internal configuration jumper, J4,
MUST be placed across both pins in the header. This jumper is shipped as open from the factory.
