Brief History of Airfone and Raytheon
Verizon Airfone Inc., Raytheon Company, and Teledyne Controls have
joined forces to deliver the MagnaStar® C-2000 Digital Airborne
Telephone, a General Aviation telephony product of unparalleled
quality and features.
Verizon Airfone is the industry leader and premier provider of in-flight
telephony services for the commercial aviation market. Since 1984,
Airfone has pioneered numerous communications first and innovative
developments, including: the Seatfone™ System, QuickConnect call-
ing, data/fax calling, the all new digital Airfone® Service and ground-
to-air calling, as well as other features and services.
The MagnaStar® digital airborne telephone is the most advanced and
most popular digital airborne telephone system available for business
aircraft. MagnaStar systems have been installed in all types of aircraft
from a Beechcraft Bonanza to a Boeing 747. The MagnaStar system
offers a wide selection of installation components, as witnessed by this
manual. This airborne phone system utilizes Airfone’s advanced terres-
trial communications network, and is backed by what has come to be
known as the best customer support in the business.
In late 1996 Teledyne Controls – Business and Commuter Avionics
licensed from Raytheon Company (formerly Magnavox Electronic
Systems Company and now Raytheon Company) the exclusive market-
ing, sales and customer support rights to the MagnaStar airborne tele-
phone product line for business aircraft. The MagnaStar system utilizes
Airfone’s communications network for its inflight communications
service. Raytheon will continue to manufacture and repair MagnaStar

Introduction
Congratulations on your selection of the MagnaStar® C-2000 Digital
Airborne Telephone. The MagnaStar system is designed to provide
years of quality service and reliability onboard your aircraft.
Installation by an authorized Dealer will ensure proper cabling
and integration with other onboard avionics and related systems.
With proper care, your new digital airborne telephone will provide
years of clear, high quality airborne communications now and
well into the future.
General Information about
your new Digital Airborne Telephone
For your convenience and ease of use, the MagnaStar® C-2000 Digital
Airborne Telephone has been engineered to operate in much the
same fashion as a regular, ground-based telephone. The steps required
to place calls and access its features do, however, differ. For this
reason it is recommended that you carefully study the step-by-step
instructions provided on the following pages.
(Your Dealer has pre-programmed certain call billing and other
operational preferences into your system. Your flight crew should
be familiar with these customizations).

How the System Works
The MagnaStar® C-2000 Digital Airborne Telephone provides the
general aviation marketplace – business, governmental and private
aircraft – with access to advanced telephony services previously
available only onboard commercial aircraft.
The MagnaStar system was specifically designed to provide this capa-
bility onboard these aircraft, where weight, size, and pressurization
considerations are extremely demanding. As a result, the system can
be used to place and receive voice calls, send data transmissions via
modem as well as send and receive facsimile transmission, all from
the comfort of your aircraft cabin.
A central radio processor onboard each MagnaStar-equipped aircraft
coordinates and controls the cabin telephone handsets for all voice
calls, data calls and in-cabin intercom functions. The system links
with the Airfone Ground Station Network for channel selection and
call hand-off operations.
During flight, the MagnaStar system continually scans and monitors
ground-based radio cells for the best usable communications channel.
The availability of a channel is indicated on the handset’s LCD display.
When a call is initiated, the system searches for the ideal channel and
connects the calling and receiving parties. The system will accommo-
date multiple handsets and two independent air-to-ground voice, fax, or
data calls may be placed on the system simultaneously. Digital tech-
nology ensures reliable, clear connections at all times.
All operations are performed using the system handset. Each
handset features adjustable volume with push-button controls
and a telephone-style keypad with two additional keys, “+”
and “End Call.”
The keypad is used to dial calls and select various options as
described later in this manual. The handset’s LCD display presents
useful information and “menu”-style selections thereby prompting
users through the operating steps so that separate instructions
are seldom required.
The handset also features a credit card reader which allows
optional billing of calls to individual user accounts.

II. Using Your MagnaStar® Digital
Airborne Telephone
MagnaStar C-2000 Digital Airborne Telephone System
Operating Instructions
A. Introduction
All normal operations of the MagnaStar C-2000 Digital Airborne
Telephone System are performed using the system’s handset(s).
Each handset has a display and a telephone-style keypad with two
additional keys, “+” and “End Call.” The keypad is used to dial calls
and select various options as described later in this manual. Information
is provided to the user through a Backlit LCD display 10 characters
wide and up to 13 lines long. While the display prompts the user at
each step, the user does not have to wait for the prompts to proceed
with the call sequence. A credit card reader is built into the handset
to allow optional billing of calls to individual user accounts. A two-
button volume control on the side of the handset increases or decreases
the sound level to suit the user. The following sections provide detailed
operating instructions.
NOTE: The standard MagnaStar handset has a hook switch which is activated
by a magnet in the holder. Removing the handset from the holder establish-
es “off-hook” conditions and makes it available for use. Returning the
handset to the holder establishes “on-hook” conditions. Optional handset
installations, including custom holders and portable handsets which do
not provide this hook switch function. To place these handsets “off-hook,”
press “+.” To put these handsets back “on-hook,” press “+.” The standard
MagnaStar handset may be operated as an optional handset installation
by pressing “+” while still in the holder to cause it to go “off-hook.” This
mode provides access to the MagnaStar off-hook features without removing
the handset from the holder, thus providing data calls without the removal
of the handset.
In all procedures of this Users Guide, words shown in parentheses ( )
are associated with the respective digital handset key presses.

C3. Placing a Call with the Cockpit Headset Interface Panel
(C.H.I.P.)
The C.H.I.P is intended to allow the cockpit crew to place or receive
phone calls through their existing audio control panel. It may also be
mounted in the cabin and used with a headset and mic as an alternative
to a handset. The C.H.I.P. functions like a WH-10 analog phone with
the addition of a few pushbuttons.
The Hook Switch pushbutton is used to take the headset “On-Hook”
and “Off-Hook.”
The Flash Hook pushbutton has two functions. A short flash places
a call on hold and allows the user to conference another call. A long
flash will end your call and back you up to the main menu to allow
another call.
The Volume pushbuttons adjust the headset volume.
NOTE: For programming see Section VI, B18 (CDBR-2 and Remote Set Up).
C4. Placing a Voice Call Using a Credit Card
Normally all calls made with the MagnaStar C-2000 are automatically
charged to the aircraft’s billing account. If desired, a call may be
charged to a personal credit card instead. Calls made using a personal
credit card will be billed at commercial rates.
Place the handset off-hook. Choose “1” (Voice), then
enter “0” + Area Code + Number. At the “bong” tone,
slide your credit card through the handset slot with
the magnetic stripe facing inward.

The air traveler has the option to store and use one credit card number
for the entire flight and does not require the re-entry of the card
number for each call. The system must first be configured for credit
mode (see Section VI, B3). The software default value is direct billing
mode.
With Direct Billing disabled for the aircraft, this feature allows a user
to swipe a card which causes all calls made from any location on the
aircraft (except the handset(s) configured as a Cockpit Station) to be
billed to this credit card account. Calls made from Cockpit Station(s)
will be billed to the aircraft account.
The user activates this feature by taking the handset off-hook and
pressing “9” (Setup) - “8” (Credit) - “1” (Enter Aircraft Credit Card
Number), and then sliding the credit card through the handset card
reader slot. Your call will be routed to an Airfone Operator.
The user can manually clear the stored credit card number by taking
the handset off-hook and pressing “9” (Setup) - “8” (Credit) - “2”
(Clear Aircraft Credit Card Number). The credit card number is
also erased once power is removed from the ARTU for more than
30 seconds. To enable this feature follow these directions.
NOTE 1: All direct dialed calls made on the “Cockpit” Station handset(s) will
be billed to the aircraft account number regardless of the system call
billing mode.
NOTE 2: The C-2000 system accepts all major credit cards.
NOTE 3: The Aircraft Credit Card Number Options bills all calls (except those
calls from handsets configures as “Cockpit”) to the entered credit card.
C6. Placing a Call On Hold
A call may be placed on hold at any time by pressing “+” (Put Call
on Hold). The party on hold will hear silence. To return to the call,

NOTE 2: If an inplane number is assigned to a CDBR-2 FAX port, its activity can
be monitored from any digital handset in the Aircraft.
NOTE 3: Periodically pressing the “+” key will extend the time period for viewing
this menu.
NOTE 4: Refer to section VI, B19 for CAS Set-Up for Call In Progress Indication.
D2. Remote Answer
When a phone in the aircraft is ringing, (Inplane, Air/Ground, or
SATCOM), the air traveler can answer the call by taking a non-ringing
handset off hook and pressing “9” (Setup). At this point the menu
option “Remote Answer->9” will be highlighted indicating that
another phone is currently ringing in the aircraft. Press “9” (Remote
Answer) to connect to the incoming call.

E. Facsimile Calls (Using PC or Fax)
If you wish to have your fax machine or PC/Modem dial telephone
numbers, you must make certain that your equipment dials using
tones (DTMF) and the RJ-11 cord must be connected prior to
initiating a call.
It is highly recommended that a 4-prong RJ-11 cord be used for
fax and modem connections. Some fax/modem equipment uses
additional signaling that can be utilized by the C-2000 system to
provide enhanced performance. The 4-prong connector enables
access to that signaling.
The MagnaStar C-2000 and the Airfone system provide connections
for Group 3 facsimile equipment. Please note that not all manufactur-
ers comply with Group 3 equipment specifications.
In order to optimize fax performance when sending or receiving a fax:
• Both the airborne and ground fax equipment should have Error
Correction Mode (ECM) enabled, if supported by the particular
models being used.
• Limiting the number of pages sent at any one time will help ensure
complete transmission without interruption.

E1. Facsimile Calls Using a C-2000 Handset
Sending a Fax
1. Plug fax machine or PC into Handset.
2. If using a fax machine, insert document into the feeder.
3. Take handset off hook and verify dial tone.
NOTE: Some fax machines do not support a dialing capability.
In this case, the call must be dialed from the C-2000 handset.
In some instances, the airborne party may wish to dial a voice call to
the ground fax machine’s number prior to sending the fax. To switch
the voice mode call to fax mode, press “+” (Put Call on Hold) fol-
lowed by “3” (Fax) after the conversation is completed.
4. Establish a fax mode call by pressing “3” (Fax) on either the C-2000
handset, the PC, or the fax machine.
NOTE: It is not necessary to press “3” (Fax) if this C-2000 handset has been
configured as a Fax Station (See Section VI, B5). If the handset has been
configured as a PC station, the “3” (Fax) does not have to be entered
at the handset, but it must be entered from the PC or fax machine. The
C-2000 system uses the “3” (Fax) to distinguish a fax call from a data call.
5. On the fax machine or PC enter phone # and press “Start/Transmit.”
6. After the fax call is connected, the handset may be placed in its
holder.
7. At the completion of the call, press “End Call” to terminate the
connection.
NOTE 1: The airborne fax machine should be configured with its redial function off.
NOTE 2: As an alternative, the RJ-11 cord may be connected to a remote RJ-11
jack if one is provided for that handset.

Receiving a Fax
When receiving uplink faxes through the C-2000 handset, participation
of both air and ground parties are required. Two methods of accom-
plishing this are manual and poll receiving.
a. Manual Receive Operation. This method of receiving a fax is to
first establish voice communication and then switch the call over
to fax mode. Most fax machines have a 40 second “time out” on
attempting to establish a communication link with another fax
machine, i.e., the fax machine will quit trying to transmit and dis-
connect after 40 seconds if it is unable to establish initial communi-
cations with another fax machine. Therefore, some synchronization
is required between the airborne and ground parties to give the two
fax machines enough time to establish communications with each
other. To send a fax through manual receive operation the ground
party must answer the initial fax call from the aircraft.
1. The ground party calls the handset that the airborne fax machine
is connected to.
2. The airborne party answers the voice call using the C-2000 hand-
set, which is connected to the fax machine.
3. On the C-2000 handset, inform the ground party
that you are going to put the call on hold to
Air-Ground
switch to fax mode. Put the call on hold by
pressing “+” (Put Call on Hold) then immediate-
ly switch to fax mode by pressing “3” (Fax).

4. If the airborne fax machine has a handset take
the fax machine handset off-hook (either by lift-
ing its attached telephone handset or switching
the RJ-11 hook switch to the off-hook mode).

b. Polling Receive Operation. Polling operation is a mode that allows
the fax machines to automatically negotiate a reversal in the direc-
tion of transmission. Many fax machines support polling in some
fashion but each manufacturer defines their own polling method
which may not be compatible with equipment from other manufac-
turers. If “Restricted Polling” is used, where a Passcode is required
for the answering fax to respond, both fax machines must have the
same Passcode entered.
1. If it has been established that the air and ground fax machines
are compatible for polling, the ground party enables polling on
the ground fax (if required by that model), and the airborne fax
machine is configured for “Receive Polled” mode (or similar,
as described in the manual of the on-board fax machine).
2. The ground party inserts the document to be sent in the feeder,
and calls the aircraft, via Airfone.
3. The airborne party returns the call by pressing “1” (Voice),
immediately switches the call to fax mode by pressing “+”
(Put Call on Hold) followed by “3” (Fax).
4. The airborne party presses “Start” on the fax machine.
5. At the completion of the fax transmittal press “End Call” to
terminate the connection. The connection will be terminated
automatically if the ground machine hangs up first.
E2. Facsimile Calls Using a CDBR-2 Data Station
Connect PC or fax machine to the CDBR-2’s Remote RJ-11 port.
The port must be strapped for PC or Fax, via switch or hard wired.
The Data Station must be configured for Fax (either via a switch
or hard wired).
Sending a Fax
1. If using a fax machine, insert document to be sent in the feeder.
2. Establish the fax call using the PC or fax machine, and transmit
the fax.
NOTE: If the RJ-11 jack you are using is hard wired for “Fax” the service
indicator (“3” for Fax) should not precede the phone number. If the
RJ-11 jack is hard wired for “PC” a prefix of “3” is needed before
the dialed phone number.

Receiving a Fax with Direct Aircraft Dialing
The fax machine in the air should be set to answer automatically.
1. The ground party calls 1-888 aircall number assigned to the airborne
fax machine.
2. The airborne fax answers and receives.
E3. Receiving a Fax via the CPI
To receive an incoming fax via the CPI you must use a handset that
has Aircraft Alerting enabled. It will also be required to have an
Inplane number assigned to the Fax Port to allow the call to be trans-
ferred.
There are two methods of accomplishing this, Call Forwarding or Call
Transfer. Call Forwarding must be established before the incoming fax
call is received. Please see Section I, C2 “Call Forwarding” for more
information.
For the Call Transfer feature, the user must make an Inplane
Conference call to the Fax port’s Inplane Number.
NOTE 1: The fax machine in the aircraft should be set to answer automatically.
NOTE 2: CDBR-2 ports configured for Fax, Modem, or PC are never alerted for
incoming calls to the Aircraft Terminal ID (which is used for incoming
GroundCell calls).
The procedure is as follows:
1. Using the fax machine on the ground, the ground party calls the
Cell Phone Number.
2. The user in the aircraft answers the incoming call at any ringing
handset.
3. The user in the aircraft presses “+” (Put Call on Hold).
4. The user in the aircraft presses “2” (Inplane) followed by the Fax
Port’s Inplane Number.
5. The fax machine in the aircraft answers.
6. The user in the aircraft presses “+” (add call to conference).
7. The user in the aircraft puts the handset on-hook.
NOTE: Call Forwarding and Call Transferring a fax call will require the fax
machine to be connected to a CDBR-2 analog port (J5 or J6) strapped
for “FAX.” Call Forwarded handsets are automatically unforwarded on
ARTU power down.

F. Data Calls
The MagnaStar C-2000 and the Verizon Airfone system provide
connections for data modems.
The modem software should be configured to dial with DTMF tones.
F1. Data Calls Using a C-2000 Handset
1. Connect the Modem or PC’s RJ-11 cord into the RJ-11 jack on
the handset.
NOTE: As an alternative, the RJ-11 cord may be connected to a remote RJ-11 jack
if one is provided for that handset.
2. The airborne Modem should be configured with its “Redial”
function off.
3. Place the handset off-hook, press “4” (Modem) on the C-2000
handset and command your modem to dial.
NOTE: It is not necessary to press “4” (Modem) if this C-2000 handset has been
configured as a modem station; see Section VI, B5. If the handset has been
configured as a PC station, the “4” (Modem) does not have to be entered
at the C-2000 handset, but it must be entered from the communications
software. The C-2000 system uses the “4” to distinguish a data call from
a fax call.
4. After the modem call is connected, the handset may be placed back
in its holder.
5. At the completion of the call, press “End Call” to terminate the
connection. The connection will be terminated automatically if
the ground party hangs up first.

F2. Data Calls Using a CDBR-2 Data Station
1. Connect the Modem or PC’s RJ-11 cord into the Data Station RJ-11
jack. The Data Station must be configured for Modem (either via a
switch or hard wired).
2. Instruct the PC to dial the desired phone number.
NOTE 1: The service indicator (“4” for Modem) should not precede the number.
NOTE 2: If using a PC which will also be used to place fax calls, the Data Station
may be configured for PC (either via a switch or hardwired). In this case,
the service indicator (“4” for Modem) must precede the number.
NOTE 3: Ground-to-Air 4800 bps/9600 bps Modem calls are not currently
supported.
Baud Rate and Link Selection Dialing Prefixes
The following dialing prefix capabilities have been added as part of
software version 4.0A to facilitate the configuration of a specific
data/voice call. These prefixes will override any configurations/factory
default values which were previously programmed.

NOTE 2: Both Baud Rate and Link Selection prefixes can be utilized for the same
call (order sequence does not matter)
NOTE 3: The Link Selection prefixes can be used for all call types (i.e. Voice, Fax,
Modem and TDD).
G. Telecommunication Device for
the Deaf (TDD)
Place the handset off-hook. If your TDD has a RJ-11 cord, connect the
cord into the RJ-11 jack on the handset. Press “5” (TDD) and dial the
telephone number from either the handset or the TDD unit.
NOTE 1: For a ground-to-air TDD call, a delay greater than 20 seconds is needed
after the dialed number. This is necessary to bypass the voice prompts,
otherwise the ground modem will disconnect the call.
NOTE 2: It is not necessary to press “5” (TDD) if this handset has been config-
ured as a TDD station. To set the station mode refer to Section VI, B5.
If you want the TDD unit to be acoustically coupled, make certain that
no RJ-11 cord is connected prior to dialing the telephone number from
the handset. When prompted, press “+” (To Use TDD Acoustic
Coupler) to indicate your desire to use the TDD acoustic coupler.

H. Ground-to-Air Calls
The ground-to-air calling feature allows the air traveler to be “called”
while in-flight by a party on the ground. Once called, the air traveler
may accept the call immediately or save the calling number to be re-
dialed at a later time.
There are three types of aircall numbers: station (number assigned to
each handset), aircraft (number assigned to the aircraft), and personal
(number assigned to individual customers via Airfone Cards). The dif-
ference between them is the handset activation process. Calls to any
aircall number are initiated from the ground in the same manner.

IV. SATCOM Service
Nearly all of the features offered with MagnaStar digital handset are
available with the SATCOM service connection. The MagnaStar
C-2000 Digital Airborne Telephone system connects to Inmarsat
Satellite equipment (SATCOM) to provide complete telephony service
from your cabin telecommunications system, the C-2000 system.
All of the communications capabilities of the C-2000 system are
available for your use (subject to possible limitations of the SATCOM
equipment) following the same steps as previously described within
this Users Guide.
NOTE: The analog “Handset Mode” interface refers to the WH-10 handset inter-
face of SATCOM equipment. The “PBX Mode” interface, offered by some
SATCOM system providers, allows you to utilize more of the telephony
services of the MagnaStar C-2000 System (e.g. Credit card billing and
expanded range of Terminal IDs).
A. Service
For an aircraft configured with both the MagnaStar C-2000 and a SAT-
COM system, the C-2000 allows selection of either communications
link (Air-Ground or SATCOM) as the default link. See Section VI, D1
for default link setup. The default link selected is highlighted on the
“Services” handset screen.
B. Placing a Voice Call
To place a voice call using the SATCOM default communications link,
place the handset off-hook. Choose “1” (Voice), then enter “00” +
Country Code + City Code + Number. Because international telephone
numbers vary in the number of digits, pressing “+” (OK) after the
number has been entered will send it immediately. If “+” (OK) is not
pressed, there will be a ten (10) second delay before it is sent.
When the call is made via a SATCOM channel, the “Acquiring
Satcom” menu will be displayed, followed by the “Connected” screen.
NOTE: If you make a mistake when entering a number, press “*” to clear the
digits and dial the numbers again.
To end a call, place the handset on-hook or press “End Call.”

C. Ground-to-Air SATCOM Calls
C1. Receiving Calls In-flight
From the SATCOM system, ground-to-air calls can be directed to a
specific handset or handsets. Typically a two-digit code, “Terminal ID
Number,” is entered by the calling party following the number assigned
to the Airborne SATCOM system. Terminal IDs can be assigned as
Aircraft numbers or as Station numbers (see Sections VI, D3 or D4).
When ground-to-air calls are received via the SATCOM system, the
handset screen will display “Incoming SATCOM Call” followed by
the Terminal ID number. If the called party on the air-
craft is already busy with another call (and Call
Incoming
Satcom
Call
Waiting is enabled), the called party will hear a “Call
Waiting” tone (single beep) and the called party’s
handset screen will indicate an incoming call.
Terminal
ID:_________
Pressing the “+” (Answer) key will place the current
call on hold and connect the handset to the calling
party. The “+” (Put Call on Hold) key can be used
to toggle between the two calls.
Answer —>+
Pressing the “End Call” key will terminate the current
call and connect you immediately to the calling party. Even though
the called party will receive the Call Waiting tone for only a short time
period, the called party may answer the incoming call for as long as
the handset displays the “Incoming Satcom Call” message.
If Call Waiting is disabled and the called party on the aircraft is
already busy with another call, the called party will not be notified of
an incoming call.
C2. Remote Answer
When any phone in the aircraft is ringing (Inplane, Air-Ground, or
SATCOM), the air traveler can answer the call by taking a non-ringing
handset off hook and pressing “9” (Setup). At this point the menu
option “Remote Answer->9” will be highlighted indicating that another
phone is currently ringing in the aircraft. Press “9” (Remote Answer)
to connect to the incoming call.

own cards all calls are automatically billed against the Master Account.
Calls billed against the account are eligible for volume pricing (see
“Rates and Billing Options” on the next page).
2. Personal Credit Card Charge - All users must slide their own
credit or calling cards (then choose “1” for Voice Call, then enter “0”
+ Area Code + Number) and pay for their own calls at published com-
mercial rates. Each such call is eligible for the benefits/credits associat-
ed with active Airfone promotional programs. With the exception of
calls made from a Cockpit Station, calls are never billed against the
Master Account unless special provisions are made in advance.

IX. Fax and Modem Requirements
A. General Comments
Your MagnaStar C-2000 Digital Airborne Telephone system supports
both facsimile (fax) and data modem calls utilizing the Verizon Airfone
Service Network. For SATCOM equipped aircraft please consult your
SATCOM equipment manual and service provider for specific fax and
modem requirements. The MagnaStar fax and data modem service sup-
ports current industry standards such as error corrections, and data
compression. Here’s what you can do with your fax or modem service:
• Receive or transmit single or multi-page faxes.
• Call a computer bulletin board.
• Call an on-line service such as CompuServe, Prodigy or
America On-Line.
• Connect to another modem to exchange data.
For optimum performance and greater modem compatibility the
MagnaStar CDBR-2 is recommended for direct fax and modem con-
nections to your C-2000 system.
B. Fax Requirements
Your MagnaStar C-2000 system is fully compatible with many desktop
or office fax machines along with internal, external, and PCMCIA
modems with appropriate fax application software. The MagnaStar
fax service is CCITT V.27ter (2400baud) and CCITT Group III
compatible. The Group III option Error Correction Mode (ECM) is
recommended.
C. Modem Data Requirements
Your MagnaStar C-2000 system is fully compatible with many inter-
nal, external, and PCMCIA modems with appropriate modem soft-
ware.
The MagnaStar Modem service is CCITT V.32bis (4800/9600 baud).
CCITT V.42/V42bis (LAPM), and MNP levels 1-5 compatible. The
V.42 and MNP Levels 2-4 error control and V.42bis and MNP Level 5
data compression standards are recommended.

X. Troubleshooting Information
A. Handset Text Messages
The MagnaStar system provides information screens that display text
messages. If the radio detects certain types of operational faults, the
digital handset will display the appropriate message. These text mes-
sages are intended to help the user determine why a call may not be
placed or why a call may have been interrupted.
There are several handset text messages that may be displayed indicat-
ing that the ARTU has detected an abnormal condition and has taken
some type of corrective action. These types of handset text messages
normally indicate that the ARTU is not broken and does not need to
be replaced.
Five handset text messages are shown below that may be displayed if
a telephone connection is abnormally terminated. These messages do
not normally indicate an aircraft system fault unless repeated occur-
rence of this type of condition exists.

There are several reasons why abnormal call termination may occur.
They may be caused by poor radio link conditions, antenna blockage,
radio frequency interference, base station coverage problems because
operation is below 18,000 feet or ground network problems. If an air-
craft is experiencing excessive call hand-off failures, then it is suggest-
ed to first check the RF cabling and antenna installation on the aircraft.
Check for damaged coaxial cables shields or loose coaxial cable con-
nectors, especially the SMA connectors on the P/N 620317-1 duplexer.
The “Radio Fault” handset text message shown below will display a
three digit code if the ARTU detects a built-in test fault. The red fault
light on the front of the unit will also be illuminated if this message
appears. The fault codes may be an even or an odd number. Even
numbered fault codes indicate that the ARTU has experienced a
recoverable fault. The fault may clear itself within a few minutes.
If the problem does not clear itself, then reset the ARTU. This can
be accomplished by pulling the circuit breaker and removing power
for greater than 30 seconds. If the problem reoccurs, then the ARTU
should be replaced. Odd numbered faults indicate a non-recoverable
fault and usually indicate an intermittent or broken ARTU. Intermittent
problems may be cleared by cycling power for greater than 30 seconds.
If an ARTU is replaced, please include the reported fault code and any
other relevant information with the unit to explain the reason for unit
replacement.

The “Check CDBR Cabling” handset text message
as shown below will be displayed when the ARTU
detects a synchronization problem on the LAN bus
between the ARTU and the LAN repeaters. Typically
this fault condition occurs because of cabling prob-
lems. The most common cause of this problem is
incorrect wiring or pinched wiring in the connector
backshell. The ARTU and LAN repeaters can also be
damaged if a LAN repeater is inadvertently connected
up backwards, resulting in the same type of fault.

Operation May
Be Intermittent
LAN repeaters can be damaged if no cable strain relief is provided in
the installation and may cause intermittent operation or latent faults.
See Section 9.1.8 and 9.2.1 in the Magnastar Installation Manual for
MMT troubleshooting designed to isolate and correct intermittent
faults.
The “Temporary Service Disruption” handset text
message is generated by the handset itself and does
not originate from the ARTU as do all other handset
Temporary
messages. This message is generated by the handset if
power and ground are present but the handset is miss-
ing the clock, sync or data signals. The message may
also appear if the data to the handset is corrupted. If
this message appears, verify that the ARTU has not
Service
Disruption
detected a fault condition or is running power-up Built-In Test (BIT).
This can be done by viewing the fault (red) light on the front of the
ARTU. If the ARTU fault light is illuminated then a fault has been
detected or is running power-up BIT. Power-up BIT should not take
longer than five minutes to complete. If after enough time has passed
to allow power-up BIT to complete then the handset text message
would be displayed because of a fault with the ARTU. If the
temporary service disruption handset text message is present and
the ARTU fault light is not present, then check the handset and
CDBR cabling in the aircraft.

B. Fault Codes
MagnaStar faults are logged in the Air Radio (ARTU) and are displayed
on the handset as a fault code number. The faults and their associated
display codes are listed below:
Displayed
Fault Code
Description
Fault Code 001
Fault Code 002
Fault Code 004
Fault Code 008
Fault Code 016
Fault Code 032
Fault Code 064
Fault Code 128
Fault Code 301
Non-recoverable transceiver fault
Over-temperature
Synthesizer malfunction
OCXO malfunction
820 MHz oscillator malfunction
20.48 MHz oscillator malfunction
Processor fault
Load fault
Non-recoverable pilot receiver fault
If two or more faults occur at the same time, the handset will display
the sum of the codes; i.e. if the synthesizer unlocked fault and the
OXCO oven failure both occur, then the fault code would read “Fault
Code 012” (8 + 4 = 12).
As long as a fault code is displayed on the MagnaStar handset, the
system will not be fully functional (some functions, such as Inplane
or Satcom calling may still work). Non-recoverable faults (fault codes
that are odd numbers) require that the ARTU power be cycled off for
greater than 15 seconds and then powered back on in order for the
fault to be cleared. Recoverable faults (fault codes that are even num-
bers) may clear themselves a few minutes after hanging up all hand-
sets. If the fault does not clear itself, then cycling the power off for
greater than 15 seconds may still be necessary. If the fault codes can-
not be cleared, the ARTU is defective and needs to be replaced. Please
call 1-888-246-STAR (7827) to order your replacement ARTU.
