Scan Modes Scanning is a Dealer programmable feature that allows you to monitor a number of channels. Your Dealer will help you define a channel "scan list" to be programmed into a scan channel (any channel, 1- 4 on model SP-130) or (any channel, 1-16 on model SP-140). Once that channel location is selected, scan is initiated.
Other Scanning Features • Look Back: Any channel, when not in the scan mode, can be programmed to "look back" at the "Priority" channel. 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"...
Do not tamper with internal adjustments. Damage to the equipment and/or improper operation may result. There are no user serviceable items inside the radio. It is recommended that you return your radio to a qualified Maxon Dealer for any service or repairs. Recycling/Disposal of Batteries The U.S.
