PDA360EX Pilot Guide
When the Bluetooth-enabled cell phone rings, an incoming call menu
opens, showing caller ID, and the call can be answered by pushing the
top line-select button.
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 se-
lected transceiver Com 1 or 2, simply by using their respective PTT
switch.
In ISO intercom mode, when the PDA360EX is in the TEL mode,
the pilot position is in the "Phone Booth." Only the pilot will hear the
telephone, and only he will be heard. There will not be telephone
sidetone in ISO. The pilot will also have access to Com 1 or 2, and
will transmit on that radio using the PTT. All other selected audio is
provided.
NOTE
Because the cell phone uses an intercom circuit, all stations on
that circuit will lose intercom capability when the cell phone is in
use. Intercom conversations will still be present if the cell phone
provides sidetone, or if the audio panel is configured for tele-
phone sidetone.
PS Engineering does not guarantee compatibility with personal
cellular telephones.
Cellular telephone sidetone
Some cell phones do provide sidetone,
and when combined with audio panel
sidetone audio distortion may occur. In
PDA360EX Telephone sidetone can be
enabled or disabled on the Telephone
menu which is active when a call is in
progress.
Internal Recorder and playback
The PDA360EX comes equipped with an internal recorder. This digi-
tal system stores the last incoming audio from the radio you have se-
lected for transmit. It can store as many of 8 incoming messages, and
up to 45 seconds of audio. The pilot and copilot hear the playback.
Recording is automatic.
