STATUS INDICATORS AND AUDIBLE ALERT TONES
The SL55+ radio has a microprocessor control, which
provides a range of audible alert tones. Upon each power-
up, a quick melody* indicates that the self-test of the
microprocessor functions has been completed. A sequence
of audible tones* may be sounded with any of the following
conditions:
• Attempting to transmit on a channel set for
receive only
• Attempting to transmit on a channel that is
already in use when busy channel lockout has
been programmed into the radio*
• Transmitting time has exceeded time-out timer
programmed length*
• Low battery condition
• Selecting a channel with no programmed
frequency
* Indicates a function that is initially programmed into the radio
by your Maxon dealer.
Note: All audible tones can be programmed off for silent
operation.
