Message #1 is designed to only play when the trigger is valid, and 
stop when removed, such as an autopilot disconnect alert. It will not 
stop when the PLAY or remote acknowledge button is pushed. 

flightmate® messages 

The flightmate “scratchpad” recording offers 2 ½ minutes of record-
ing time for checklists or other messages. To start recording, press 
and hold the flightmate “PLAY” button. A chime tone indicates the 
start of the recording. This recording can be played by pressing the 
PLAY button until the recording starts to playback.  

Radio Playback 

The radio recording portion is a continuous  loop recorder, (last  mes-
sage received  will be the first heard), the recorder has 45 seconds of 
recording time, or up to eight messages. There are no buttons to press 
to  start  recording.  The  system  automatically  begins  to  record  the  in-
stant the radio selected for transmit becomes active. Only the pilot and 
copilot will hear the playback audio. 

To  play  back  the  last  recorded  message,  you  quickly  press  PLAY. 
You  must  wait  for  the  message  to  stop  playing  before  accessing  the 
prior message. To cancel the  playback, quickly press the PLAY but-
ton  again.  The  next  time  the  button  is  pressed,  the  next  earlier  mes-
sage  will  be  heard.  If  the  radio  becomes  active  while  a  message  is 
playing,  the  message  playback  will  stop.  The  new  audio  will  not  be 
stored. 

Messages are lost when a different radio is selected for transmit. 

The playback will stop whenever there is more incoming selected com 
audio, and the message can be replayed from the beginning. 

Note: 

an 

external  playback  button  may  also  be  installed  in  a  convenient  loca-
tion. 

Bluetooth Connection 

1.  Turn on the PMA8000G. 
2.  From your Bluetooth enabled device, search for other devices, 

and select the PMA8000G.  

3.  The PMA8000G should connect automatically. The Bluetooth 

symbol will light up. 

You can now make and receive calls with the audio directed through 
the audio panel, and stream music as Music input 1.  

The PMA8000G can be paired with up to eight individual devices. 
When that number is exceeded, one device will be automatically un-
paired to allow the new device. The device eliminated will be selected 
at random by the Bluetooth module. 

Hint, if your old phone is not
