Audio Selector (4); Telephone (Tel) (9) - Honeywell Bendix/King KMA 30 Manual

switched off. In essence, switching the mic selector will not override prior selection of COM receiver au-
dio.
In normal (not split) modes, the KMA 30 gives priority to the pilot's radio Push-To-Talk (PTT). If the
copilot it transmitting, and the pilot presses his PTT, the pilot's microphone will be heard over the se-
lected com transmitter.
In TEL mode, the pilot microphone and headphones are connected to the cell phone. The pilot PTT will
switch the pilot mic to the selected com transceiver, and allow continued aircraft communications to con-
tinue. (See Section 3.4 —TEL—for more details)
The copilot will also be able to transmit on the other selected radio with his PTT as well.
3.2.1.1 Split Mode
The split mode can be activated at any time by pressing the C
time. This places the pilot on C
Pilot on C 2 and Copilot on C
OM
Due to the nature of VHF communications signals, and the size constraints in general aviation aircraft, it
is probable that there will be some bleed-over in the Split mode, particularly on adjacent frequencies.
Bendix/King makes no warranty about the suitability of Split Mode in all aircraft conditions.
When the split mode is activated, the intercom between the pilot and copilot is inhibited, although the
passengers can still talk among themselves. The crew intercom can be reactivated if desired by pressing
the "Mute" button. The indicator LED in the Mute button will be green when the intercom is off (muted),
and turn off to indicate that the intercom is not muted, and the crew can speak to each other.
3.2.1.2 Swap Mode (Switch from Com 1 to Com 2 remotely)
With a yoke mounted, normally open momentary switch, the pilot can change from the current Com
transceiver to the other by depressing this switch. To cancel "Swap Mode," the pilot may either press the
yoke mounted switch again, or select a different Com with the XMT buttons.
3.2.1.3 Monitor Mode
The KMA 30 is equipped with a Monitor function, which allows a secondary com radio audio to be muted
by the primary radio (selected for transmit). See

3.3 Audio Selector (4)

Communication audio from the other radio, not selected for transmit, can be heard by pressing the associ-
ated RCV button. You will always hear the audio from the selected transceiver.
Navigation receiver audio is selected through five momentary, push-button, backlit switches.
The users can identify which receivers are selected by noting which green switch LEDs are lit. Navigation
aid audio push buttons are labeled Nav 1, Nav 2, MKR (Marker), ADF and AUX (auxiliary). DME au-
dio (if present) will come through when the AUX button is selected. When one of these buttons is pressed,
the mode is active, and the LED will illuminate. Press the switch again and it will be "off" and remove
that receiver from the audio output.
In SPLIT mode, only the pilot will hear selected navigation audio.

3.4 Telephone (TEL) (9)

The TEL mode serves as a full duplex interface and distribution for telephone systems such as AirCell or
portable cellular phones with earpiece jacks. Pressing the TEL button activates the telephone mode.
This connects the telephone to the users as follows:
In ALL intercom mode, all crew and passengers will be heard on the phone when they speak. Com and
other selected radio audio is also heard in the headsets. If the pilot or copilot pushes the radio PTT, their
