Operation Mode 
This section provides general descriptions of the operating modes of the SL1000 Radio. 
Power off Mode 
The SL1000 shall enter Off mode when the On/Off Volume knob is rotated to the most counter-
clockwise position, beyond the detent. Upon entering off mode, the radio shall store its current 
channel (if Power On Channel function is enabled via PC Programmer). 
Power on Mode 
The SL1000 shall enter Power-On mode when the On/Off Volume knob is rotated clockwise 
beyond the detent. Upon entry of the Power-On mode, the radio shall perform the 1 time power-
on alert to indicate that it has been turned on. 
Cloning 
Frequencies and functions can be programmed from radio to radio by using a cloning cable. 
Password 
If the password function is enabled, (dealer programmable) the user must enter a password for 
the radio to become operational. At this time you can enter the password code by using the 
EMG/PTT/MON/OPTION button in the correct sequence. Four button presses are required to 
enter the code. If the code is not correct, the LED will blink red and there will be a double beep 
repeated. To disable the password function radio must be reprogrammed by an authorised Maxon 
dealer. 
Scanning 
Scanning is a Dealer programmable feature that allows you to monitor a number of channels. 
Your Dealer will help you define a scanning mode and your channel "scan list". 
Normal Channel Scan 
Once the scan list has been established, initiate scanning by pressing the scan key or holding the 
monitor button and rotate the channel switch to scan the enabled channels. Then the Green LED 
flashes to confirm the scanning.
