Appendix A Other Configurations

A.1 Converting to a Single-Radio System
1. Disconnect the CAN cable between both the radios. This is to avoid one Standalone Radio
and one Primary Radio in the system, and cause FL01-90 to be displayed.
2. Read the codeplug of the radio that needs to be programmed.
3. Using CPS, change the "Radio Selection" field to "Standalone Radio".
4. Write the codeplug into the APX Mobile radio.
5. Connect a standard O7 Control Head and cable to the newly configured APX Mobile
Single-Radio System.
A.2 Changing the Control-Head Type
• The APX Dual-Radio System is only compatible with the O7 Control Head, and all other control
head types are not supported.
A.3 Converting Radios Equipped With Dual-Radio Software into an
APX Dual-Radio System
1. Ensure both the radios are disconnected.
2. Read the codeplug of one radio.
3. Using CPS, follow the setup instructions in
it as the Primary Radio.
4. Write the codeplug into this APX Mobile Radio.
5. The codeplug configuration is done for the second APX Mobile radio, to configure it as the
Secondary Radio.
6. Using CAN cable connect both radios, and the O7 Control Head.
A.4 Converting Radios Not Equipped With Dual-Radio Software into an
APX Dual-Radio System
• Customers who have fielded APX7500, APX6500, or APX6500Li radios are able to purchase
the Dual-Radio Software as a flashport
• This will allow them to configure their current mobiles, to be used as either Primary or
Secondary Radios in an APX Dual-Radio configuration.
• The required hardware, including the Dual-Radio Cable and Speaker Extension Cable must be
purchased separately as aftermarket kits. The optional Stack Mount Trunnion and Audio
Combiner can also be purchased separately from Motorola's Accessories and Aftermarket
Division (AAD), if needed.
• APX mobiles using control heads different from the O7 Control Head must be retrofitted with a
remote mounted O7, in order to support the APX Dual-Radio operation.
