External Accessory Enable |
(Radio Ergonomics Wide, Advanced) |
![]()
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.
