One Active Mode - Motorola ASTRO APX User Manual

The intercom feature allows one control head user to
talk to another control head user in a Multiple Control
Head configuration. At any given time, when a control
head being operated has priority for the intercom call,
all other control heads are blocked until the active
control head releases PTT button. This can be made
on any attached control head.
1 Press the Menu Select button directly below Intc
to activate the intercom feature of any of the
control heads.
2 Press the PTT button to initiate an intercom
transmission.
All control heads that are attached will receive the
same intercom call. The display of the control
heads receiving the intercom call shows the
alias/ID number of the transmitting control head.
3 Press
or the Menu Select button directly below
Exit to deactivate the intercom feature.
The intercom feature also deactivates when user
initiates a mode change. If the radio is on an
emergency channel, pressing of the Emergency
button or the emergency footswitch button on any
control head also deactivates the intercom feature.

One Active Mode

The One Active mode enables only one control head
to be visibly active at a time in a 2 control head
system.
Note:
In the One Active mode, if more than 2 control
heads are present upon power up, the radio
shows a FATAL error Extra CH on the display
of all attached control heads.
The active control head commands the system
normally while the inactive control head is in remote
mode with its display shows Remote.
The Volume knob, Dimmer button, Front/Rear (F/R)
softkey and Emergency button, MFK, Keypad keys
and Data button, the Emergency footswitch and VIP
inputs remain active on the inactive control head,
while all other controls are disabled. The VIP input
control head is configurable in the CPS and VIP
should be attached to the control head selected in the
CPS.
Note:
Only 2 control heads are supported in the one
active mode.
