SP-110 Operations
Power On—Volume
Turn the radio on by rotating the on/off— volume control clockwise until you hear a click.
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 trivcolor 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/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 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-volurne control fully counter-clockwise, to the detent position.
Status Indicators
Your SP-i 10 Series has a sophisticated microprocessor control which provides a series of
visual alert indications.

Scan Modes
Scanning is a Dealer programmable feature that allows you to monitor channels. Your
Dealer will select your scan channel. Once that channel is selected scan will be initiated.
Simply move the channel select switch to the programmed scan channel,
Normal Channel Scan
Ifa conversation is detected on one oi the two channels while scanning, the radio WilI stop
on that channel and you will be able to hear conversation It programmed for normal scan
TX you will be able to transmit on that active channel during the programmable scan delay
time. The scan delay time is the amount oftime the radio will stay on that channel once
activtty 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 fora 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 same traction of a second.
Other Scanning Features
A 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
the other channel has been selected. Once a "look back" 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.
- 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 Iist until the channel is changed orthe 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—i 10 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 flash a red LED 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. Ifa transmission is made at any time, the
radio will flash a red LED and will not allow the transmission.
