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.
