3.8.1 Music in Pilot ISO mode (8)
If desired, the pilot can elect to hear Music #1, in the ISO mode. While the intercom is in ISO mode (no top arc lit),
push the ISOL and hold for one second. This mode will be indicated by the Pilot LED arc blinking slowly (once in
every 5 seconds). The pilot will now hear Music #1, and it will mute in accordance with the Mute mode as described
in §3.8.
3.9 Telephone Mode (5)
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 airborne (not touching the ground). When any aircraft leaves the ground, all
cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be turned off.”
The TEL mode serves as a full duplex interface for telephone systems such as portable cellular phones with earpiece
jacks (or Bluetooth connectivity (AMX240 only). When interfaced with an approved airborne telecommunications
system, the AMX240 can serve as a audio control and distribution center.
In intercom ALL mode, 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 capa-
bility on the other selected transceiver COM 1 or 2, simply by using their respective PTT switch.
In intercom ISO mode, when the AMX240 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. He will also have access to COM 1 or 2, and will transmit on
that radio using the PTT. All 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 modified for telephone sidetone.
Avidyne does not guarantee compatibility with personal cellular telephones.
