FCC RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR OCCUPATIONAL USE
ONLY
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in General Docket 93-62, November 7,
1997, 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 (OSHA) and Federal Communications Commission limits.
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle). Transmitting more than
50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled environment. This radio
is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where radio operator must have the
knowledge to control the user’s exposure conditions for satisfying the higher exposure limit allowed for
occupational use.
When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 1 inches (2.5 cm)
away from your mouth.
The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the front of the radio is illuminated. You can
cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT bar on the radio.
These are required operating configurations for meeting FCC RF exposure compliance.
Failure to observe these restrictions mean violation.
RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANEC AND CONTROL GUIDELINES AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
• To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure
limits, always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
• Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
Operating Instructions:
• Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the microphone (and the other parts of the radio,
including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the nose. Keeping the radio at the proper
distance is important because RF exposures decrease with distance from the antenna. The antenna should be
kept away from eyes.
• When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Maxon Telecom approved clip, holder, holster, case,
or body harness for this product. Using approved body-worn accessories is important because the use of
Maxon Telecom or other manufacturer’s non-approved accessories may result in exposure levels which
exceed the FCC’s occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.
• Use only Maxon Telecom approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories. Use of
non-Maxon Telecom approved antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed the FCC RF
exposure guidelines.

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.
7
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)
Other Scanning Features
· Look Back: Any channel, when not in the scan mode, can be programmed to "look back" at the "Priority" channel. (Remove) 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" (Remove) channel other than the priority 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 look back mode, press and hold the scan button, first button located beneath the
PTT button. PS will be shown in the display and the LED will flash green.
NOTE: Look Back requires that the radio leave the active 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 not be noticeable as
"breaks" on the active channel for that same fraction of a second. A transmission will be made on the selected 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 again selected, the original Dealer programmed scan list
will be activated.
· CTCSS/DCS Scanning: The SP-200 Radio 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) , 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 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 ( Remove) will 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) ,,
display r0 and will not allow the transmission.
