Data Button Feature

(Control Head O3 / Control Head O7 / Control Head O9 / Keypad Mic, Data)

When programmed for TMS (Text Messaging Service), a long keypress of the Data Button jumps the radio-user directly to the CPS-defined Quick Text Message entries of the Text Messaging Service mode (seen within the radio’s display).

When a radio comes factory-equipped with an O7 Control Head that has the optional Siren and Lights Keypad, this Data Button Feature defaults to "Action Consolidation" and the Data Button Index defaults to "AC ALL OFF". See also the O7 Siren / Lights Keypad Keystone Concept.

Button Selections:

This selection is only valid in the CPS,
and/or available to the RADIO-USER:

Selection Availability is based on Current Hardware:

Action Consolidation

When selected, always available to the radio-user, and therefore not dependent on any CPS feature or selection.

 Once selected, the Data Button Index for the same record / row must also be defined.

  You can duplicate the same Consolidated Action on a Response Selector position and a button; however, you cannot duplicate the same Consolidated Action on more than one Data Button, Top Function Programmable Button, or Bottom Function Programmable Button "Index" selection.

  This selection must be selected for both Conventional and Trunking in order to be considered valid.

  When the radio-user presses the Data Button, the assigned Consolidated Actions are executed.

   The valid Consolidated Action selection for the Data Button is that the Action Type field must be set to "Control".

  This selection must be selected for both Conventional and Trunking in order to be considered valid.

Third Party

When selected, always available to the radio-user, and therefore not dependent on any CPS feature or selection.

  When the Radio Selection field is set to "Primary Radio" or "Secondary Radio" in a Dual Radio configuration, this selection must be selected for both Conventional and Trunking in order to be considered valid.
