SafetyInformation  
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in  
General Docket 79-144, March 13, 1985, has adopted a safety  
standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic  
energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment. Maxon subscribes to the  
same safety standard for the use of its products. Proper operation of this  
radio will result in user exposure far below the Occupational Safety  
and Health Act and Federal Communications Commission limits.  
WARNING - DO NOT hold the radio in such a manner that the  
antenna is next to, or touching, exposed parts of the  
body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.  
WARNING -DO NOT allow children to operate transmitter - equipped  
radio equipment.  
CAUTION - DO NOT operate the radio near unshielded electrical  
blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere unless it  
is a type especially designed and qualified for such use.  
CAUTION - DO NOT press and hold the transmit switch (P-T-T) when  
not actually wishing to transmit.  
NOTE: This radio operates in FCC regulated frequency  
bands. All radios must be licensed by the FCC before  
use. Because this radio contains a transmitter, Federal  
law prohibits unauthorized use or adjustments of this  
sradio.

Battery Charging and Care  
To ensure peak performance from your radio, the battery pack must  
be fully charged. Proper care and charging will allow maximum  
performance and life of your battery pack.  
The optional QPA-1135 Pedestal Charger provides a slow overnight  
charge of 12-16 hours.  
The optional QPA-1125 Desktop Charger provides 1.5 hours charging  
and normal "slow" charging to one radio and one battery.  
See accompanying instructions included with these chargers for more  
information.  
To receive maximum performance from your radio and battery pack,  
periodically completely discharge and recharge the battery pack.

SP-130/140 Series Operations  
Power On-Volume  
Turn the radio on by rotating the on/off - volume control clockwise  
until you hear a click and the self test "alert" tone.  
Transmit  
CAUTION  
OPERATION OF THE TRANSMITTER WITHOUT  
A PROPER ANTENNA INSTALLED MAY RESULT IN  
PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE RADIO  
1) Press the monitor button to monitor the channel for activity. To  
avoid interrupting another user, make sure the channel is clear  
before you begin transmitting.  
NOTE: Federal Communications Commission Rules and Regulations  
require that you monitor a channel for activity before transmitting.  
NOTE: The tri-color LED located on the top panel can help with  
channel monitoring. It will glow amber if RF activity is present; or  
green if the transmission has a CTCSS or DCS tone that matches a  
tone programmed for receive in your radio. When this LED is not  
illuminated, the radio is indicating a "clear" channel.  
2) When the channel is clear, hold the radio upright with the antenna  
vertical and the front microphone area about 2-3 inches from the  
mouth, keeping the antenna away from the face and eyes. Press and  
hold the P-T-T bar on the side of the radio, and speak slowly and  
clearly into the microphone area.  
NOTE: The LED will glow red when transmitting. This indicator should  
be on continuously while the P-T-T bar is being pressed and the radio  
is transmitting. Should the red LED be "flashing", the battery needs to  
be recharged and transmission will cease. Recharge the battery before  
attempting more than one transmission.  
Receive  
When you have finished transmitting, release the P-T-T bar to receive.

Power Off  
When finished transmitting, receiving, monitoring, etc., turn the radio  
off by rotating the on/off-volume control fully counter-clockwise,  
to the detent position.  
Status Indicators and Audible Alert Tones  
Your SP-130/140 Series 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. 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.  
Normal Channel Scan  
Once the scan list is programmed you can initiate scan. Simply  
move the channel selector knob to the scan channel position  
and the radio will start to scan. 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.  
NOTE: "Priority" channel scan and "look back" require that the  
radio leave the active channel for a fraction of a second (at regular  
intervals) to check the priority channel for a message. Depending  
upon how the radio is programmed (scan speed, etc.) this may or  
may not be noticeable as "breaks" on the active channel for that  
ssame fraction of a second.  
11  
 
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" channel if  
another channel has been selected. Once a "look back" channel  
has been selected, the radio will periodically "look back" at the  
"Priority" channel. Ifactivity is detected on the "Priority" channel,  
the radio will move to that channel for as long as it remains active.  
• Scan Channel Delete: To temporarily delete a channel from the scan  
list, simply press the monitor button while scanning and stop 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 again  
selected, the original Dealer programmed scan list will be activated.  
• CTCSS/DCS Scanning: The SP-130/140 can be programmed by  
your Dealer to scan for tone. This will help block out unwanted  
calls.  
• Normal Scan TX: Allows a transmission only after a call is received,  
depending on the programmed scan delay time. After the scan  
resumes, and a transmission is made, the radio will sound an  
alarm (two beeps) 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 transmit on the  
programmed priority channel.  
• Priority Only TX: Allows a transmission on the priority channel  
when scanning and not stopped on an active channel. It can also be  
programmed to always transmit on the priority channel if scanning  
or stopped on an active channel.  
• Receive Only Scan: This allows only reception. If a transmission is  
made at any time, the radio will sound an alarm (two beeps) and will  
not allow the transmission.
