APX Mobile Dual-Radio Operation: Button Configuration

Button Configuration

It is recommended that the user configures all the programmable buttons the same on both radios, in
order for the APX Dual-Radio System to achieve seamless interoperability.
NOTE: User can utilize the drag and drop functionality, to drag button configuration from one radio to
the other in CPS.
Radio wide features including Siren, Light Bar, Aux Control, Gun Lock and DIM, and Emergency
feature must be configured the same on programmable buttons on both radios.

Programming

For CPS programming, a Primary Radio or a Secondary Radio can be powered independently in a
standalone configuration, or can be connected in an APX Dual-Radio System. When connected in
an APX Dual-Radio System, the radios cannot be programmed simultaneously. When one radio
enters program mode, the other radio will not be allowed to enter program mode until the Dual-Radio
System resets. Only the Primary Radio can be programmed using a data cable connected to the
control head. The Secondary Radio must be programmed with a data cable connected directly to the
Secondary Radio transceiver.

2.7.1 FLASHport
It is recommended to upgrade the radios without being connected to each other. When they are
connected together, the radios behaviors are as follows:
a. While upgrading the Primary Radio, there will be multiple resets and the control head will
show the Secondary Radio's channel or zone text intermittently at the beginning.
b. While upgrading the Secondary Radio, there will be multiple resets and the control head
will show the Primary Radio's channel or zone text intermittently at the beginning. Then
the control head will show the "Secondary Updt" string to indicate secondary updating.
