External Accessory Enable

(Radio Ergonomics Wide, Advanced)

HGDefinitionMob%26Port.jpg

Enables the radio to delay power-up while it waits for an external accessory to connect. This wait time is needed by certain external accessories that must be present during radio power-up in order to receive radio status and display information. The external accessory is given a minimum of 5 seconds from radio power-up to establish a connection; the actual wait time may be longer than 5 seconds, but never less than 5 seconds. This feature applies on a radio-wide basis.

When this field is enabled, if the radio does not detect an external accessory connected at power-up within this 5 second window, a temporary error message will appear in the radio's display.

 

This field is not applicable to the currently shipping Motorola Remote Speaker Mic (RSM) accessories.

 

Please refer to the specific accessory's documentation to determine if the accessory needs to be present at radio power-up, and therefore if this field should be enabled.
