The Motorola APX™ 7500 Multi-Band Consolette is the next generation Consolette design that
incorporates the APX 7500 mobile transceiver and the O5 control head to complement Motorola’s
APCO PHASE II dual band product line.
The Consolette is a key device in many Motorola voice systems offering a low cost RF control
station solution to customers that are within a communication system and want a wireless dispatch
solution. The Consolette is also used as an emergency backup station when the infrastructure is
off-line, as a low cost dispatch center for federal, state and local agencies, and as a fire station
alerting system.
The APX 7500 Consolette is available in the 7/800MHz, VHF, UHF R1, and UHF R2 bands (mid
power models only). Configurations include both the limited front panel and the full featured front
panel (contains the O5 control head). Rear panel interfaces include: Tone Remote Control (TRC),
ACIM, Ethernet and E&M (Ear and Mouth) for interfacing to remote consoles and desksets such
as the MC 2000, the MCC 5500, Gold Series Elite Console, MCD 5000 and the MCC 7500.
All models are equipped with an internal AC to DC power supply and support Battery Revert
operation. Additionally there is an auxiliary display with corresponding soft menus and status
indications for support of a VU Meter and Clock.
In addition to the above mentioned functionality, the APX 7500 Consolette supports the following
functionality via its rear panel: recorder interface, connection for up to 2 headsets, interface for
connection of an external PA, connection for a second speaker, and a crosspatch interface.
