TEL (Duplex) Function for Cell Phones
Audio streams selected by the intercom mode are provided to the TEL output, and audio from TEL is pre-
sented to the headset. This allows a telephone-like audio interface.
The TEL mode in the KMA 30 is compatible with many cellular telephones with hands-free headset inter-
faces. The front panel 3/32” utility jack can be used as the interface to the Cell Phone, or a jack can be
installed somewhere on the aircraft panel. The wired interface jack is connected with the KMA 30 as
shown: A patch cord (3/32” to 3/32”) is available from Bendix/King under P/N 425-006-7026.

2.4.9.1 Cell phone Sidetone
As shipped from Bendix/King, the KMA 30 does provide cellular telephone sidetone (the user’s voice fed

sidetone can be disabled if desired by pressing the TEL and ADF buttons for more than one second.

2.4.10 Public Address Mode
By pressing the Mute and SPR pushbuttons at the same time, the KMA 30 will be placed into public ad-
dress (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 discrete 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
