PREPARING FOR USE
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Unpack the radio and check that you have received the
following items:
SL55+ handportable radio
Battery pack
Antenna
Belt clip
If any of these items are missing, please contact your dealer.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ANTENNA
A high quality matched antenna is supplied with the SL55+
radio. Install the antenna by turning clockwise into the
antenna receptacle on the top of the radio, until it is firmly
seated. Do not over tighten. To remove the antenna,
reverse the above procedure.
Never operate the radio without the antenna fitted.
Always use Maxon approved antenna.
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK
Please refer to the picture on the inside rear cover.
Hold the radio face down in your hand. To attach the
battery pack, pick up the pack by the sides and hold it so
that the latch is facing upward. Place the bottom of the
battery pack into the base of the radio at approximately a 45º
angle. Gently push battery into the radio back until the
battery latch snaps firmly into place.
Remove the battery pack by holding the radio face down in
your hand. Press down and hold the battery latch. Gently
pull the battery out and away from the radio.
ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE BELT CLIP
The belt clip attaches to the radios battery pack. To attach
the belt clip, hold the clip and slide it into the recessed area
at the top of the pack. A click will verify the clip is securely
positioned. To remove the clip, press and hold the release
tab toward the clip while gently pulling the belt clip assembly
off the radio.
ENGLISH

RADIO PERFORMANCE
Optimum positioning of the radio will significantly improve the
effective transmission range, i.e. hold the radio close,
approximately 5cm from your mouth whilst talking. Mounting
the radio on a belt and using a lapel microphone may
degrade performance in marginal signal areas. In poor
signal areas, moving the radio just a few metres may
produce a clearer signal.
BATTERY CHARGING AND CARE
To ensure peak performance from your radio, the battery
pack must be fully charged. To obtain maximum capacity and
performance it is recommended that you cycle your new
batteries with at least 3 charges and 2 discharges.
Remove the charger base and power supply from the
packaging, and plug in the power supplys DC connector into
the jack on the back of the charging base. Plug the AC
power cord into the standard mains AC outlet.
To charge a battery while attached to a radio, simply place the
radio into the front charging well. The charger will identify the
battery condition, and then automatically initiate a charge
mode rapid or top-up / trickle.
To charge a battery removed from the radio, place the
battery into the rear charging well. Again, the charger will
identify the battery condition, and automatically rapid charge
or top-up / trickle charge, the battery pack.
Note the colour of the LED charge indicators: red for rapid
charge cycle, green for the top-up / trickle charge cycle.
When using both charging wells, only one can rapid charge
at a time. The front charging well always has priority for rapid
charging. After the front well cycles from rapid to top-up /
trickle charge, the back well will initiate its rapid charge
mode. Again, note the colour of the charging wells LED to
define the current charging cycle.
Note: To ensure peak performance from your radio,
periodically discharge the battery completely and recharge
fully. This action will prevent the battery from developing a
memory of short-term use, and will permit a good service
life.
To prolong battery life in general usage, make sure that the
radio is programmed to use the power save mode.
ENGLISH
8
RECYCLING / DISPOSAL OF BATTERIES
The battery should be recycled at the end of its useful life.
Under various local laws, Ni-MH and Ni-Cd batteries must be
recycled or disposed of properly and cannot be discarded in
landfills or incinerators.
For further information on how to safely dispose of your used
batteries, contact your dealer.
SL55+ OPERATION
POWER ON / VOLUME / POWER OFF
Turn the radio on by rotating the off/on/volume control
clockwise.
You will hear a click and (if enabled via dealer programming),
the radios self-test alert tones. Increase the radio volume by
continuing the clockwise rotation.
To turn the radio off, rotate the control anti-clockwise until a
click is heard.
CHANNEL SELECT / CHANNEL SCAN
To change radio channels, simply rotate the Channel Knob
until the desired channel is reached.
If your radio has been programmed for scanning, you must
rotate the knob to the channel that has been programmed to
begin scanning.
MONITOR / TONE DEFEAT
The monitor button is located on the side of the SL55+ below
the PTT button. Your radio may be set-up to either allow or
dis-allow monitoring of a channel. Press and hold the
monitor button to listen to the channel.
When on, the radio will continue to receive even if the signal
is very low. This may assist clarity if the audio chops on
and off while receiving.
TRANSMIT
Check the colour of the radios top-panel LED. It will
illuminate orange if RF activity is present; it will not be
illuminated if the radio indicates a clear channel. See page
11.
When the channel is clear, hold the radio microphone area
approximately 5cm from your mouth, keeping the antenna
ENGLISH

vertical. Press and hold the PTT button on the side of the
radio, and begin speaking in a clear, normal tone. Release
the PTT button when you have finished speaking.
CAUTION: Operation of the transmitter without a proper
antenna fitted may result in permanent damage to the radio.
NOTE: The radios LED will illuminate red continuously when
you have the PTT button pressed and are transmitting. If the
red LED starts flashing, the battery needs to be recharged
and transmission will cease. Recharge the battery fully
before attempting further transmissions.
RECEIVE
When you have finished transmitting, release the PTT button
to receive.
STATUS INDICATORS AND AUDIBLE ALERT TONES
The SL55+ radio has a microprocessor control, which
provides a range of audible alert tones. Upon each powerup, a quick melody* indicates that the self-test of the
microprocessor functions has been completed. A sequence
of audible tones* may be sounded with any of the following
conditions:
Attempting to transmit on a channel set for
receive only
Attempting 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.
ENGLISH
10
DIAGNOSTIC MESSAGES
In addition to the low battery condition, a flashing red status
LED may also indicate fault conditions
Should your radio apparently not operate correctly, replace
the battery with one known to be fully charged. If the
condition persists, or the radio emits an unexpected
continuous pattern of audio beeps, or will not transmit or
receive as it does normally, return the radio to your Maxon
dealer.
UNPROGRAMMED CHANNEL
If your radio has been set-up for less than the maximum
number of channels, turning to a blank channel will cause
your radio to beep and the status LED will flash red,
indicating that the channel is unusable.
RECEIVE ONLY CHANNEL
Your radio may be set-up to receive on a channel but not to
transmit. If PTT or call functions are started on such a
channel, the radio will beep and the LED will flash red.

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. 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 RF activity, with any programmed options, is detected on
any of the channels in the scan list, the radio will stop on that
channel and monitor it. If programmed for normal scan TX,
you will be able to transmit on that active channel during the
programmed scan delay time. The scan delay time is the
amount of time the radio will stay on that channel once the
activity has ceased. 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
activity. Depending how the radio is programmed, this may
or may not be noticeable as breaks on the active channel
for that same fraction of a second.
ENGLISH
12
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. 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
stopped on the channel to be deleted, during the scanning
routine. This will remove that channel from the scan list
until the channel is changed or the radios power is reset.
When the power is restored or the scan list channel
position is selected, the original Dealer programmed scan
list will be activated.
CTCSS / DCS Scanning: The SL55+ 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 programming 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 only allows reception. If a
transmission is attempted at any time, the radio will sound
an alarm (two beeps) and will not allow the transmission.

Tenez le radio à la main, face vers le bas. Pour fixer la
batterie, saisissez la batterie par les côtés et tenez-la de
telle sorte que le loquet soit face vers le haut. Placez le bas
de la batterie dans la base du
radio à un angle d'environ 45°. Enfoncez doucement la
batterie dans l'arrière du radio jusqu'à ce que le loquet de la
batterie se mette fermement en place avec un bruit sec.
Retirez la batterie en tenant le radio face vers le bas.
Enfoncez et retenez le loquet de la batterie. Retirez

MISE EN PLACE ET RETRAIT
DE LA PINCE DE CEINTURE
La pince de ceinture s'attache à la batterie du radio. Pour
attacher la pince de ceinture, prenez la pince en main et
faites-la glisser dans la partie creuse située sur le dessus de
la batterie. Un "clic" confirmera la mise en place de la pince.
Pour retirer la pince, enfoncez et retenez la languette vers
la pince tout en éloignant doucement la pince de ceinture du
radio.

PERFORMANCE DU RADIO
Un positionnement optimal du radio améliorera
considérablement la plage de transmission utile : tenez le
radio près (environ 5 cm) de votre bouche quand vous
parlez. Le montage du radio sur une ceinture et l'utilisation
d'un micro-cravate dégradent la performance dans les zones
de signal marginal. Dans les zones de signal faible, le
déplacement du radio de quelques mètres seulement peut
produire un signal plus clair.
RECHARGE ET ENTRETIEN
DE LA BATTERIE
Pour assurer une performance optimale de votre radio, la
batterie doit être entièrement chargée. Pour obtenir une
capacité et une performance maximales, il est recommandé
de soumettre vos batteries neuves à un cycle d'au moins 3
recharges et 2 décharges.
Retirez le chargeur et l'alimentation de l'emballage et
branchez le connecteur CC de l'alimentation dans la prise
jack au dos du chargeur. Branchez le cordon d'alimentation
CA dans la prise secteur CA.
Pour recharger une batterie attachée à un radio, placez
simplement le radio dans le support avant du chargeur. Le
chargeur identifiera l'état de la batterie et déclenchera
automatiquement un mode de recharge : rapide ou lent.
Pour recharger une batterie retirée du radio, placez la
batterie dans le support arrière du chargeur. A nouveau, le
chargeur identifiera l'état de la batterie et déclenchera
automatiquement la recharge rapide ou lente de la batterie.
Notez la couleur des indicateurs LED de recharge : rouge
pour cycle de recharge rapide, vert pour cycle de recharge
lent.
Quand vous utilisez les deux supports de chargeur, une
recharge rapide ne peut être assurée que par un seul à la
fois. Le support de chargeur avant a toujours la priorité pour
la recharge rapide. Quand le support avant passe de la
recharge rapide à la recharge lente, le support arrière passe
au mode de recharge rapide. Notez à nouveau la couleur de
l'indicateur LED du support de chargeur pour définir le cycle
de recharge courant.
Note: pour assurer une performance optimale de votre radio,
procédez régulièrement à une décharge et recharge
complètes de votre batterie. Cette action empêchera la
