then continue with the scan.

or when the scan channel is re-selected.
What is priority lookback?
If your radio is programmed for priority lookback, your
Dealer/System Supervisor will have assigned a priority
channel, and between 1 and 3 lookback channels. If your
radio is receiving on a lookback channel, it will periodically
check the priority channel for activity. If the priority channel
becomes busy, the radio will monitor this channel in
preference to the current channel.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ACCESSORIES
A full range of Maxon accessories are available to use with
this product. Please contact your Maxon Reseller for more
information or visit www.maxon.co.uk
VOICE PRIVACY
Your radio may be upgraded with one of two voice privacy
options which provide protection against unauthorised
eavesdroppers. The Single Frequency Inversion Scrambler
provides medium level speech security, and the Rolling Code
Scrambler provides high level speech protection against the
most determined opponents.
Clear mode
Once upgraded, the Auxiliary button is used to toggle the
radio between clear and secure modes. When the button is
out, the PM100 will transmit in clear mode.
Secure Mode
When the Auxiliary button is in, the PM100 will be switched
to the secure mode. All transmissions will now be scrambled.
Receive Mode
If your radio has inversion scrambling fitted, to listen to
scrambled messages, the Auxiliary button must be pressed
in. Radios with rolling code scrambling will switch into the
ENGLISH
10
correct receive mode automatically.
NOTES:
When using inversion scrambling, all radios in a system must
have the special function button switched to the same state
to allow correct operation.
When using the rolling code scrambler, the PM100 will
automatically switch between clear and secure modes when
receiving a transmission. This transmits data at the start of
every transmission and the user should pause for about halfa-second after depressing the PTT button before speaking
into the radio.
SOP55-01 FIXED SELCALL MODULE
If your radio has been upgraded with the SOP55-01 Selcall
Module, a range of additional signalling options is available.
These features can reduce the time spent receiving
messages meant for other radios and makes better use of
the radio channel.
With the Selcall option fitted, the operation of the radio will
change. An instruction sheet with further details on the
operation of the radio with Selcall is included with the
module.
