Action Consolidation

(Controls, Control Head / Keypad Mic)

This button-press, or O9 Control Head Response Selector position, allows the radio-user to initiate a CPS-defined sequence of Consolidated Actions. A Consolidated Action's sequence of radio actions may then be easily executed with minimal effort by the radio-user. This feature applies while operating in Conventional or Trunking communications mode.

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, Response Selector, Top Function Programmable Button, or Bottom Function Programmable Button "Index" selection.

For the O9 Control Head, it is strongly recommended that the Response Selector's "0" position be assigned a Consolidated Action that turns all Relay Patterns, Siren tones, GPS Reports, Mode changes and Direct Status to an "Unassigned" or ALL OFF state. It may also be desirable to assign this Consolidated Action to a button-press.

	When a Consolidated Action is activated via a button-press, pressing the Action Consolidation button again does not deactivate any of the actions; instead, it reactivates the sequence of actions. See the above "Workflow Note".
	When a Consolidated Action is activated via a Response Selector position on the O9 Control Head, changing that position does deactivate the Consolidated Action assigned to the previous Response Selector position, and the Consolidated Action assigned to the new position is activated. See the above "Workflow Note".
	When the radio is powered up, any Consolidated Action assigned to the Response Selector's current position is executed. See the above "Workflow Note"
	No matter if a Consolidated Action is completed or cancelled, if there are any required channel / mode changes in the action, the radio always returns to its original channel / mode.
	Once initiated, a Consolidated Action may be cancelled, however the individual actions typically happen so quickly, that the likelihood of terminating any part of the Action is nearly impossible. A Consolidated Action may be terminated by a Home button-press, a menu EXIT, a PTT button-press (provided the Public Address mode is not active), or the engagement of Emergency Mode. The Relay Pattern, Siren Type, or GPS Report actions are the first to launch and are therefore nearly immediate.
