DEK Feature

(DEK, General)

You SHOULD NOT duplicate a function on multiple user-control types, or on more than one Control Head button, or on more than one DEK button, or on more than one VIP Input, or on more than one VIP Output. This may cause radio-user confusion and may sometimes disable a feature.

For a Dual Radio configuration:

• Button functions for Radio Wide features (Siren-related buttons, Aux Control (1-3), Dim, GunLock (1, 2, 3, or All), Relay Pattern, Radio Swap, and Third Party) must be configured the same for the Primary and Secondary radios; additionally, it is strongly recommended to configure all of the button functions the same for both radios, in order to avoid radio-user confusion.

• When the Radio Selection field is set to "Secondary Radio" and the Siren Operation field is set to "Disabled", all DEK Siren-related button selections are considered valid. (Although the Siren box must be connected to the Primary Radio, Siren / PA operation is independent of the current radio selection, and therefore the Siren / PA still operates when the Secondary Radio is selected.)

These selections are model / option dependent on a per-radio basis.
