Radio FunctionsTone SignalingTo help block out unwanted calls to your ProLine ML3215 / ML3245 can be programmed to lookfor privacy tones.Scan ModesScanning is a Dealer programmable feature that allows you to monitor a number of channels. Your radio communicationsDealer will help you define a scanning mode and your channel "scan list".Once the scan list has been established, initiate scan by pressing the SCAN button. The icon will show inthe lower right corner of the display to confirm radio scanning.Normal Channel ScanIf a conversation is detected on any of the channels in the scan list, the radio will stop on that channel and youwill be able to hear the conversation. In normal scan, you can transmit on that active channel during theprogrammable scan delay time. (The scan delay time is the amount of time the radio will stay on that channelonce activity has ceased. Dealer programmable, 4 – 7 seconds is typical).The radio will resume scanning once the scan delay time has expired, and will continue to scan until the channelis changed. In scan mode, if radio power is turned off and on, the radio will return to the scan mode until a channelis changed.Priority Scan TXA single channel may be programmed as the "Priority" channel. Priority channel activity takes precedence overall other conversations. During the scan mode, if a P-T-T is initiated the radio will transmit on the Priority channel.The radio will constantly monitor this channel while scanning and when stopped on an active channel. If a call is detected on the priority channel, the radio will automatically move to, and remain on, the Priority channel.Priority Lookback ScanA single channel may be programmed as the “Priority” channel. The radio will constantly monitor this channel while scanningand when stopped on an active channel. If a call is detected on the Priority channel during a conversation, the radio willautomatically move to, and remain on, the Priority channel. Priority channel activity takes precedence over all otherconversations.Priority Select ScanA selected channel becomes the “Priority” channel. As you change the channel, that channel’s frequency will become yournew Priority channel. Priority channel activity takes precedence over all other conversations.Nuisance DeleteDuring receiving a signal or scan delay time, if the MON (monitor) button is pressed, the current receiving channel is deleted inscanlist and is no longer scanned. When the power is turned off and on, the deleted channel is restored to the scan list.Busy Channel LockoutWhen the RX signal is being received, the radio’s transmitter is disabled.Marked IdleWhen used in conjunction with Busy Channel Lockout (BCLO), the radio will allow a transmission if the correct tone is presentwith the received signal.TX DelayThe transmission will remain active for approximately 180 milliseconds even though the P-T-T bar is released when usingCTCSS Tones. This eliminates squelch tail.Time-Out-Timer (TOT)The purpose of the time-out-timer is to prevent any single person from using a channel for an extended period. The time-outtime can be programmed from 10 seconds to 990 seconds.Time-Out-Timer Penalty (TX Inhibit)When time-out-timer is applied, transmission will be inhibited after the time-out-time time expires. This TXinhibit time can be selected and programmed by your radio communications Dealer from 1 second to 100 seconds. Forinstance, when the time-out time is set to 3 minutes and T-O-T penalty is set to 5 seconds, if you continuously transmit for 3minutes, the radio will stop transmitting. A tone will sound with each P-T-T bar press until the 5 second TX inhibit time expires.

Press the P-T-T bar after the TX inhibit time expires to resume transmitting.Two-Tone DecodeEach channel can be programmed with two-tone decode selections: Individual Call, Group Call and Super Group Call. Yourradio communications Dealer can program your radio(s) for this feature. To activate or reset the two-tone decode, press andhold the AUX button for 3 seconds. After two-tone is decoded an alarm will sound if two tone alarm is turned on.VOX (Voice Operated TX)Allows your radio to transmit with the sound of your voice for hands-free operation. Your radio has a VOX sensitivity leveladjustment for noisy or windy conditions. The VOX icon will be displayed when option is active.P/A ModeAllows your radio to become a public address system with an optional external speaker connected. In this mode onlymicrophone audio heard over the optional external speaker when the P-T-T bar is pressed.Mode Operation and Function Set UpDepending on how your Dealer has programmed your radio, you may be able to change certain modes and functions of yourradio. Consult with your radio communications Dealer regarding which functions are available with your radio.The following identifies display prompts for various radio functions. NOTE: All functions are activated or turned off by pressingthe MODE button. Use the up or down buttons to toggle through the choices available with each function. To exit, press theMODE or P-T-T bar on the microphone.Power OnPower on the radio by turning the power / volume control knob clockwise out of detent. The radio will perform aself-check, showing in the display. Two beeps are sounded when the radio is ready to enter normaloperation mode. If power-on detects an error to data in the last memory, the display will appear,and an error tone will beep.Channel ChangePress and release the up or down. Your display will change with each channel selection, and will vary depending on how yourDealer programmed each channel description. A press and hold of up or down will scroll trough the channels.TransmitPress the P-T-T bar to transmit on the microphone; release to receive. Both TX (transmit) and RX (receive) are indicated bydisplay icons. When the VOX option is set and activated by voice, the radio transmits; if voice input stops, the radio maintainsTX for around 2 seconds, then returns to receive mode.Channel Option ViewIn receiving mode, if the MON (monitor) button is pressed for more than 2 seconds, the RX tone option and the TX toneoption for each channel selected will display.This display example identifies: Receive, CTCSS, Tone 1This display example identifies:Transmit, CTCSS, Tone 1Channel Option Settings MenuNOTE: These setting instructions are per-channel.
