Status Indicators and Audible Alert Tones
Your SP-210 Radio has a sophisticated microprocessor control which provides a series of audible alert tones.
Upon initial power up, a quick melody indicates that the self-test of
the microprocessor functions has been completed satisfactorily. A
series of 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 programmed 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.
NOTE: All audible tones can be programmed off for silent operation.

Scan 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" .
Normal Channel Scan
Once the scan list has been established you can initiate scan by press and release of scan button, first button located beneath the PTT
button. The top panel LED can be programmed to flash green as the radio is scanning.
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 transmit on that active channel during the pro-grammable scan
delay time. The scan delay time is the amount of time the radio will stay on that channel once activity has ceased (Dealer
programmable, 4-7 seconds is typical). The radio will resume scanning once the scan delay time has expired. Scanning will continue
until the channel is changed.
Priority Channel Scan
A single channel may be programmed as the "Priority" channel. The radio will constantly monitor this channel while scanning and
when the radio has stopped on an active channel. If a call is detected on the "Priority" channel, the radio will automatically move to,
and remain on, the "Priority" channel for as long as the priority conversation takes place. "Priority" channel activity takes precedence
over all other conversations. To activate Priority scan press and release the scan button, first button beneath the PTT button. When
priority scan has been activated display will show PS to indicate priority scan has been activated. ( Remove)
