2.2.1.2 Set Buttons as Third Party
In order for the Siren and Light Interface Module to work with radio buttons, the buttons
must be programmed to allow third party control. Each individual button which will be
controlled by the Siren and Light Interface module must first have its feature set as "Third
Party". Carefully consider which buttons should be managed by the radio to perform
standard radio functions and which buttons should be managed by the Siren and Light
Interface Module to be mapped to an external light and siren controller.
Only certain buttons are Third Party capable. Buttons which are not Third Party capable
cannot be used with the Module to control siren & light functions. There are five locations
in the CPS where Third Party capable buttons may be programmed depending on the type
or location of the button. The five classifications of buttons are Control-Head buttons,
Keypad buttons, Keypad Mic buttons, DEK buttons, and Action Consolidations.

2.2.1.2.1 Control Head Buttons
Use the CPS to program control-head buttons and set their feature to "Third Party". For
example, open the CPS, from the left menu open the Radio Ergonomics Configuration
submenu, open the Controls submenu, select Control Head - <desired head>, and then
for each desired button set the button's feature to "Third Party". If using Top Function
Programmable Buttons on the O9 it may be desirable to also set appropriate labels in the
display. See the image below to identify third-party capable buttons.
Radio Ergonomics Configuration > Controls > Control Head - XX > Set Button's Feature
NOTE:
Keypad buttons are shared across all keypad devices and are programmed in a separate
section of the CPS software.
