Chapter 4 Feature Operation

4.1

O5 Control Head (L999_ required)

The Consolette can be ordered with the Full Featured Front Panel (L999_ option) which includes an
O5 Control Head.
The Consolette can also be ordered with a limited front panel (L988_ option) where the O5 control
head, the numeric keypad, and the speaker are not present. Functions such as the TRC interface
and the ACIM interface continue to operate in this configuration. Microphone and Headset
connections are intended to be made at the remote deskset/console position.
For details on the operation of the O5 control head, refer to the APX 7500 O5 Control Head Mobile
Radio User Guide (6875947M01).
4.2

Keypad Operation (L999_ required)

On models with the full feature front panel, the Consolette contains a standard 3x4 numeric keypad
for interaction with the O5 control head. The digits follow the keypad microphone layout and are
marked with numeric (0-9, *, #) and alpha-numeric characters. The primary purpose of this keypad is
for dialing, etc, through the radio.
4.3

Front panel Microphone (L999_ required)

A paddle mic (RMN5070) can be used with the Consolette. It connects to the GCAI connector on the
O5 control head. The paddle mic supports a microphone and two functions: monitor enable/disable
and transmit enable/disable.
4.3.1

Monitor

The Monitor button is used to disable PL (if applicable) in order for the user to listen for activity on
that radio channel. Press the Monitor button to disable PL, release the Monitor button to re-enable
PL.
4.3.2

Transmit

To transmit, press and hold the PTT button on the paddle mic while speaking into the microphone.
The microphone is located in the upper portion of the paddle mic. Release the PTT button on the
paddle mic to dekey. If the paddle mic transmit button is pressed at the same time as a transmit
operation from the rear panel of the Consolette, the two transmit audios are combined and sent to
the radio for transmit. The Consolette will dekey once all PTT sources are released. Transmit audio
can be configured through the Consolette CPS to also be routed out the wireline interface to a
remote user.
4.3.3

Auxiliary GCAI Connector

The APX Consolette is equipped with a GCAI connector on the front panel in addition to the one on
the O5 Control Head. The primary purpose for this Auxiliary GCAI is keyloading and mobile
programming. The Auxilliary GCAI connector does not support the connection of a microphone.
