SM-2402 Series Operations
Power On / Off - Volume:
Turn the radio on by rotating the On / Off - volume control clockwise until you hear a click and, if
enabled via Dealer programming, the self test “ alert” tone will be heard. SM-2402 will briefly
appear in the display. Turn the radio off by rotating the control counter clockwise.
Trunked Mode Operation
Your Maxon SM-2402 series may be programmed to operate with both Trunked and Conventional
modes. There are only a few differences in their operation and these are detailed as follows.
Channel Monitoring:
While on a Trunked System, channel monitoring is performed automatically by the radio transceiver.
In accordance with the FCC rules, while operating on a Conventional System the channel must be
monitored prior to transmit-ting. In both Trunked and Conventional Systems, operation may vary
from System to System. Your Maxon Dealer will be able to assist with particular operational
parameters and procedures for the various Systems and functions.
