Ignition Switch

(Radio Wide, Features)

HGDefinitionMob.jpg

Selects the radio’s functionality based on the state of the Ignition Switch in the radio-user's vehicle. "Ignition" is present when the vehicle's ignition switch / key is turned ON; and not present (removed) when the vehicle's ignition switch / key is turned OFF.

When either "Tx Inhibit", or "PTT Tx Inhibit" are selected, the Emergency Power Up feature is not allowed.

 

When a Conventional or Trunking Tx Inhibit (TxIN) menu-selection is CPS-configured, this field must not be set to "Tx Inhibit" or "PTT Tx inhibit"; otherwise the CPS considers it to be invalid.

 

For a Dual Radio configuration:

  • When the Radio Selection field is set to "Secondary Radio" and Enable Secondary Radio Tx is enabled, this field must be set to "Blank", "Tx Inhibit" or "PTT Tx inhibit" in order to be considered valid; however, when the Radio Selection field is set to "Secondary Radio" and Enable Secondary Radio Tx is disabled, "Blank" is the only valid selection.

  • Only the "Primary Radio" checks for an Emergency Power Up footswitch-press or if the "Ignition" state is present (or removed), to determine whether the radio can power-on (or power-off)

  • When the Dual Radio configuration powers-on, the selected radio always defaults to the "Primary Radio".
