Antenna Installation Fasten the antenna to the radio by turning the antenna clockwise into the receptacle on top of the radio. Installing and Removing the Battery Pack To Install: Position the guides of the battery in line with the radio battery guide rails and slide the battery into position until a click is heard. To Remove: Holding radio in one hand, slide and hold battery latch. With the other hand, push the battery in downward direction.
Battery Charging and Care To ensure peak performance from your radio, the battery pack must be fully charged. Proper care and charging will allow maximum performance and life of your battery pack. The optional QPA-1135 Pedestal Charger provides a slow overnight charge of 12-16 hours. The optional QPA-1125 Desktop Charger provides 1.5 hours charging and normal "slow" charging to one radio and one battery. See accompanying instructions included with these chargers for more information.
SP-130/140 Series Operations Power On-Volume Turn the radio on by rotating the on /off - volume control clockwise until you hear a click and the self test "alert" tone. 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.
Power Off When finished transmitting, receiving, monitoring, etc., turn the radio off by rotating the on/off-volume control fully counter-clockwise, to the detent position. Status Indicators and Audible Alert Tones Your SP-130/140 Series has a sophisticated microprocessor control which provides a series of audible alert tones. Upon initial power up, a quick melody indicates that the self-test of the microprocessor functions has been completed satisfactorily.
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 (any channel, 1- 4 on model SP-130) or (any channel, 1-16 on model SP-140). 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.
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.
