Any programmable buttons that are configured for "DIM" must be configured for "DIM" on both
radios. This button press allows the radio user to change the illumination level of the radio's
backlight.

Intelligent lighting is turned off on the control head when radio swap occurs, as the control head
reflects the status of the newly selected radio. Switching to the other radio will not shutdown the
intelligent lighting on the previously selected radio. Once switched back, the intelligent lighting
automatically resumes if it is still active.

APX Dual-Radio Indication

As there is only one control head, but two radios, an indication of which radio is selected and which
radio is receiving is provided at any given moment. The split screen is used to indicate the status of
both radios in system. The APX Dual-Radio icon represents the selected radio, and shows the
different states of the receiving radio. The receiving icon on the vertical banner indicates that the
unselected radio is receiving, and user needs to do Radio Swap to talk. Refer to Section
Dual-Radio User Interface," on page
2.4.2

Radio Swap

Radio Swap allows user to toggle between the Primary Radio and the Secondary Radio.
As there is only one control head connected in the system, the control head only reflects the display
info of the currently selected radio. In order to select and operate the other radio, it is required to do
Radio Swap first.
• After Radio Swap, the O7 Control Head reflects the status of new selected radio.
• Radio Swap can be configured on any of the menu buttons on the O7 Control Head, any
programmable button on the O7 Control Head or keypad mic (except the DTMF keypad), or on
any DEK button.
• If the Fixed Swap Menu is enabled in CPS, the Radio Swap Menu is automatically assigned the
leftmost menu position, regardless of how a user scrolls the menu list. While both the "Fixed
Swap Menu" is enabled in CPS and the "Radio Swap" is configured in menu list, then only the
fixed swap menu shall be displayed.
• When the Radio Swap Button is long pressed, the O7 Control Head displays the selected radio
alias temporarily if radio alias is enabled in codeplug.
• If the PTT button is pressed and held, Radio Swap is not allowed.
