4-4 Feature Operation: Front Panel Programming Buttons
When either the Mute_In signal is asserted or the Speaker Mute button is active, the Speaker Mute
icon will show on the auxiliary display. The backlight of the Speaker Mute button is either the
standard backlight or a red backlight. A red backlight indicates to the user that the user last pressed
the Speaker Mute button to mute the speaker. While lit, the front panel speaker will remain muted.
Refer to the following table for interactions between the Headset, Mute_In, Speaker Mute button, the
icon, the backlight, and the front speaker.
Table 4-1. Speaker Mute Interaction
*If enabled in the Consolette codeplug
Refer to section 4.25 on the Mute In* (Crossmute) functionality, and section 4.13 for Headset
Operation.
4.10 Front Panel Programming Buttons
The Consolette supports three programmable buttons on units with a Control Head present. These
are located underneath the Speaker Mute Button. These three buttons may be assigned to either
Radio or Consolette functions. Refer to section 3.7.3.5.6 for how to program these buttons.
When configured for Radio Functions, the functionality that can be programmed onto these buttons
is the same as that defined in the APX 7500 CPS for the Keypad Mic programmable sidebuttons.
Use of these buttons can allow easier selection of radio features (ex. Scan, Auxiliary Control) with a
single button press versus navigating the softmenus on the O5 control head.
The 3 programmable button on the Consolette can be mapped in the same order top-to-bottom as
the 3 side buttons on the Keypad Mic as follows:
• P1 (Keypad Mic "Purple")
• P2 (Keypad Mic "One Dot")
• P3 (Keypad Mic "Two Dot")
Consolette functionality that may be assigned to the dedicated buttons currently includes:
• Crosspatch Enable/Disable
• Auxiliary Control Enable/Disable
• Over-the-Air Alert Tones
