R DIO PERFORM NCE
Optimum positioning of the radio will significantly improve
the effective transmission range, i.e. hold the radio close
(approximately 5cm) to your mouth whilst talking. Mounting
the radio on a belt and using a lapel microphone may
degrade performance in marginal signal areas. In poor sig-
nal areas, moving the radio just a few metres may produce
a clearer signal.

B TTERY CH RGING ND C RE
To ensure peak performance from your radio, the battery
pack must be fully charged. To obtain maximum capacity
and performance it is recommended that you cycle your new
batteries with at least 3 charges and 2 discharges.
Remove the charger base and power supply from the pack-
aging, and plug in the power supplys DC connector into the
jack on the back of the charging base. Plug the AC power
cord into the standard mains AC outlet.
To charge a battery while attached to a radio, simply place
the radio into the front charging well. The charger will identi-
fy the battery condition, and then automatically initiate a
charge mode  rapid or top-up trickle.
To charge a battery removed from the radio, place the bat-
tery into the rear charging well. (Belt clip side facing rear.)
Again, the charger will identify the battery condition, and
automatically rapid charge or top-up trickle charge, the bat-
tery pack.
Note the colour of the LED charge indicators: flashing red
for brief battery analysis, red for rapid charge cycle, green
for the top-up trickle charge cycle.
When using both charging wells of the fast charger, only one
can rapid charge at a time. The front charging well always
has priority for rapid charging. After the front well cycles
from rapid to top-up trickle charge, the back well will initiate
its rapid charge mode. Again, note the colour of the charging
wells LED to define the current charging cycle.
To prolong battery life in general usage, make sure that the
radio is programmed to use the power save mode.
RECYCLING / DISPOS L OF B TERIES
The battery should be recycled at the end of its useful life.
Under various local laws, Ni-MH and Ni-Cad batteries must
be recycled or disposed of properly and cannot be discard-
ed in landfills or incinerators.
For further information on how to safely dispose of your
used batteries, contact your reseller.

NOTE: The radios LED Âwill glow red continuously when
you have the PTT button pressed and are transmitting. If the
red LED starts flashing, the battery needs to be recharged

ton to receive. You will hear another person talking from the
speaker Äbuilt into your radio.
ST TUS INDIC TORS ND
UDIBLE LERT TONES
Your SL100 radio has a sophisticated microprocessor con-
trol, which provides a range of audible alert tones. Upon
each power-up, a quick melody indicates that the self-test of
the microprocessor functions has been completed. A
sequence of audible tones* may be sounded with any of the
following conditions:
 Attempt to transmit on a channel set for receive only
 Attempt to transmit on a channel that is already in use
when busy channel lockout has been programmed into
the radio*
 Transmitting time has exceeded time-out timer pro-
grammed length*
 Low battery condition
 Selecting a channel with no programmed frequency
* Indicates a function that is initially programmed into the
radio by your Maxon dealer.
See the Status Indicators and Audible Alert Tones chart for
full details.

DI GNOSTIC MESS GES
In addition to the low battery condition, a flashing red status
LED may also indicate fault conditions.
Should your radio apparently not operate correctly, replace
the battery with one known to be fully charged. If the condi-
tion persists, or the radio emits an unexpected continuous
pattern of audio beeps, or will not transmit or receive as it
does normally, return the radio to your Maxon Reseller.
NOTE: All audible tones can be programmed off for silent
operation

SC N MODES
Scanning is a dealer programmable feature that allows you
to monitor a number of channels or channels within a group.
Your dealer will help you define a scanning mode and your
channel scan list.
NORM L CH NNEL SC N
Once the scan list has been established, initiate scan by
pressing and releasing the scan button Ç. If a conversation
is detected on any of the channels in the scan list, the radio
will stop on that channel and you will be able to hear the
conversation.
If programmed for normal scan TX, you will be able to trans-
mit on that active channel during the programmable scan
delay time.
(The scan delay time is the amount of time the radio will
stay on that channel once activity has ceased. Dealer pro-
grammable, 47 seconds is typical). The radio will resume
scanning once the scan delay time has expired, and will
continue to scan until the channel is changed. The LED Â
will flash green.
PRIORITY CH NNEL SC N
The radio will scan list channels as in normal channel scan.
However, when the PTT button is pressed the radio will only
transmit on the priority channel. Upon release of the PTT
button the radio will resume scanning. To activate the
Priority scan mode, press and release the scan button Ç.
The LED Âwill flash green.
LOOK B CK
This feature is ideal for those who do not need scan as
defined above, but want to make sure that they never miss
a call on the Priority channel if another channel has been
selected. Once a channel has been selected, the radio will
periodically look back at the priority channel. If activity is
detected on the priority channel, the radio will move to that
channel for as long as it remains active.
To enter the look back mode, press and hold the scan but-
ton Ç. Lb Channel number will be shown in the display, the
LED Âwill flash green.
NOTE: Look back requires that the radio leave the current
channel for a fraction of a second (at regular intervals) to
check the priority channel for activity. Depending upon how
the radio is programmed (scan speed etc.) this may or may
ENGLISH
12
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

not be noticeable as breaks on the current channel for that
same fraction of a second. A transmission will be made on
the active channel at all times.
Scan Channel Delete
To temporarily delete a channel from the scan list, simply
press the monitor button (while scanning and stopped on
the channel) to be deleted. This will remove that channel
from the scan list until the channel is changed or the radios
power is reset. When power is restored or the scan list
channel position is selected again, the originally pro-
grammed scan list will be activated.
Ctcss / Dcs Scanning
To help block out unwanted calls to your radio, the SL100
can be programmed by your dealer to scan for tones.
Normal Scan Tx
Allows a transmission only after a call is received, depend-
ing on the programmed scan delay time. After scan
resumes, and a transmission is made, the radio will sound
two beeps, display _h and will not allow a transmission.
Priority Scan Tx
Allows a transmission after a call is received depending on
programmed scan delay time. The transmission will be
made on the channel that the call was received. After the
scan resumes, if a transmission is made, the radio will trans-
mit on the programmed priority channel.
Priority Only Tx
If scanning or listening to an active channel and the PTT bar
is pressed, the radio will only transmit on the priority chan-
nel.
Receive Only Scan
This allows only reception, not transmission. If a transmis-
sion is made at any time, the radio will sound two beeps,
display r0 and will not allow the transmission.
Scan List Edit
You can edit your radios original scan list and priority scan
channel at any time. Please note, if your radio has been
programmed for All-channel Scan, you will not be able to
edit your scan list, only your priority channel.

Channel Group Edit
To edit the group scan list in a radio programmed for chan-
nel group scan, turn the radio off, press and hold scan but-
ton Ç.
While holding scan button, turn the radio on Àand observe
a single red flash of the LED Â. The display Áwill read SE.

The first group number will be displayed. If you do not wish
to edit the group you have selected press the sor tbut-
tons Æto select the desired channel groups you wish to
edit. After channel group selection has been made, press
and release the scan button.
The channel number within your selected channel group
may now be edited.
If the channel number Áis flashing, that channel is already
included in the scan list of the selected channel group. If the
channel number is solid, the channel can be added or delet-
ed from the scan list. Press and release the monitor button
È, the selected channel will flash if it was added to the scan
list or be solid if it was deleted from the scan list.
To edit other channels, press the sor tbuttons Æto select
the desired channel within the channel group. To add or
delete the newly selected channel from the channel group
scan list, repeat the process detailed above. Upon comple-
tion of editing channels on your channel group scan list,
press and release the scan button Ç. Your new channel
group scan list should be entered at this time.
PRIORITY CH NNEL EDIT
Only one priority channel can be programmed into the radio.
To edit a priority channel, turn the radio off À, press and
hold scan button Ç. While holding the scan button, turn
radio on À, and release the scan button after the second
red flash of the LED Â.
PE will be shown in the display Á. Release the scan button.
The first channel number will be displayed. If displayed
channel is not your priority channel, press and release the
sor tbuttons Æto select the desired priority channel.
After you have selected the channel, a flashing channel
number indicates that the channel is already selected as pri-
ority. If channel number is solid, the channel is not selected
as priority. To add or delete the selected channel as the pri-
ority channel, press and release the monitor button È. The
selected channel will flash if it was added as a priority chan-
nel or will be solid if deleted as the priority. Upon completion
of adding or deleting the priority channel, press and release
the scan button. Your new priority channel should be
entered at this time.
