Button Selections (Control Head / Keypad Mic)

You should not duplicate a function on multiple user-control types, or on more than one Control Head button. This may cause radio-user confusion and may sometimes disable a radio feature.

For a Dual Radio configuration:

• When the Radio Selection field is set to "Primary Radio" or "Secondary Radio", only the O7 Control Head button selections are configurable, and

• Button functions for Radio Wide features (Siren-related buttons, Aux Control (1-3), Dim, GunLock (1, 2, 3, or All), Radio Swap, Relay Pattern, and Third Party) must be configured the same on both radios, and

• It is strongly recommended to configure all of the button functions the same on both radios, in order to avoid radio-user confusion.

This selection is only valid in the CPS,
