Operation Mode This section provides general descriptions of the operating modes of the S5 Radio.
The S5 shall enter Off mode when the On/Off Volume knob is rotated to the most counter-
clockwise position, beyond the detent. Upon entering off mode, the radio shall store its current
channel (if Power On Channel function is enabled via PC Programmer).
The S5 shall enter Power-On mode when the On/Off Volume knob is rotated clockwise beyond
the detent. Upon entry of the Power-On mode, the radio shall perform the 1 time power-on alert
to indicate that it has been turned on.
Frequencies and functions can be programmed from radio to radio by using a cloning cable.
If the password function is enabled, (dealer programmable) the user must enter a password for
the radio to become operational. At this time you can enter the password code by using the
EMG/PTT/MON/OPTION button in the correct sequence. Four button presses are required to
enter the code. If the code is not correct, the LED will blink red and there will be a double beep
repeated. To disable the password function radio must be reprogrammed by an authorised Maxon
dealer.
Scanning is a Dealer programmable feature that allows you to monitor a number of channels.
Your Dealer will help you define a scanning mode and your channel "scan list".
Normal Channel Scan
Once the scan list has been established, initiate scanning by pressing the scan key or holding the
monitor button and rotate the channel switch to scan the enabled channels. Then the Green LED
flashes to confirm the scanning.
