Operating Manual SL6000 Series Programming set-up PC PK-SL6000-01 SL6402/6102 (Fig. 1) Reading When serial read commands are sent though the interface leads from the PC Programmer to the radio, SL6402/6102 will transmit the data. During this sequence, the Red LED will stay solid red. In Reading Mode, the LCD displays “READING”. When reading has finished the LCD display will read “COMPLETED”.
Operating Manual SL6000 Series Cloning The SL6402 radio requires the cloning cable. The frequencies and functions can be programmed from radio to radio by using a cloning cable. Ensure that both radio’s power is in the switched “OFF” position. Place the master radio (the radio which already has desired program information in the EEPROM) in the data master mode by holding the radio’s monitor switch and then turning radio power switch to the “ON” position (the red LED on the radio flashes).

Operating Manual SL6000 Series Mechanical radio operation On/off volume The On/Off volume is a potentiometer located on the top left-hand side of the radio. Rotating the knob clockwise past the détente turns the radio on and increases the audio volume up to the maximum volume level. Rotating the knob anti-clockwise decreases the audio volume. Rotating the knob anti-clockwise past the détente will turn the unit off. This volume knob also controls the volume to external speakers.
Operating Manual SL6000 Series Emergency key The Emergency function is initiated when the lower orange side button is pressed; a preprogrammed DTMF ANI sequence is sent. Three ANI calls followed by a string of eleven sets of audible tones will be heard. A 3 second press/hold is required to enable an emergency call. Function keys There are five push-buttons on the front of the SL6402/6102; ▼▲, Menu/Scan Button key, Hi Low Power/Group key, and Lamp/Key Lock key.
Operating Manual SL6000 Series Lock A long 3 sec. press on the Lamp/Lock Button will disable the ▲▼ keys. This feature also locks the H/L/group key and Menu/Scan Key. Please note the PTT, Monitor and Emergency keys are still operational. Menu/Scan key Menu key The Menu key together with the ▲▼ keys are used for scrolling through the available features (please see table below).

Operating Manual SL6000 Series Basic radio operation Channels The SL6000 Series radio(s) can store up to 208 channels within the same frequency band. These channels can be selected by using the▼▲ keys. The channels can all be programmed using the SL6402/6102 programmer. The SL6000 is capable of up to 13 programmed groups with up to 16 channels per group. A press and hold of the▼▲ keys will scroll through your programmed channels. Channel numbers will appear in the LCD located at the top of the unit.
Operating Manual SL6000 Series Squelch options The Radio supports 2 kinds of squelch options. A different squelch option can be applied to each channel. Sub Audible Tone (SAT) codes are made up from frequencies which are below 300Hz. These frequencies are lower than the voice audio band. The two most common forms of SAT codes are CTCSS, Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System, and DCS, Digitally Coded Squelch. CTCSS/DCS information may be added to speech during transmission.
Operating Manual SL6000 Series When using CTCSS or DCS controlled squelch, several user groups may use the same RF channel without overhearing the other groups. It is common practice to allow users to listen to a channel before placing a call. This allows the user to check they are not going to transmit over a conversation from another user group. This allows more efficient use of the RF channels available. Squelch level The squelch level can be adjusted either by the PC programmer or by the user.
Operating Manual SL6000 Series Emergency feature The emergency function is initiated when the lower orange side button is pressed; a preprogrammed DTMF ANI sequence is sent. Three ANI calls are sent, followed by a five seconds of audible tones. A 3 sec hold/press is required to enable an emergency call. The emergency feature can also be programmed to transmit on either a user define frequency or the current channel. The emergency beep value can be set high or low.
