XI. Battery Charging and Care, continued

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-off / trickle charge, the back well will initiate its rapid charge mode. Again, note the color of the charging well's 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.

XII. SP-200K Series Operation

Many of the features of the SP-200K Series are defined by you and will have been determined by your radio communications Dealer and yourself. Refer to “Possible Set-ups for the SP-200K Series” on how your radio may have been programmed.

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 radio's self-test alert tones. Increase the radio volume by continuing the clockwise rotation. To turn the radio off when you have finished transmitting, receiving, etc., rotate the control counter-clockwise to detent.

Channel Select / Channel Group Scan

To change radio channels, simply press and release the I or J button until the desired channel is reached. Or, to scroll through your programmed channels more quickly, press and hold the I or J button. The channel numbers will appear in the radio's LCD (located at top of unit).

If your radio has been programmed for channel group scan, you must enter the scan mode by pressing the scan button (first button below the P-T-T bar). The current channel group will display on the radio's LCD. If you wish to change that selection, use the I or J button, until the LCD displays the channel group you wish to scan.

To Transmit

NOTE: The Federal Communications Commission Rules and Regulations require that you monitor a channel for activity before transmitting, to avoid interrupting another user.
