FCC RF Exposure Compliance Requirements for Occupational Use Only
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action
in General Docket 93-62, November 7, 1997, has adopted a
safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment.
Topaz3 / Maxon subscribes to the same safety standard for the
use of its products. Proper operation of this radio will result in
user exposure far below the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and Federal Communications Commission limits.
Antennas used for this transmitter must not exceed an antenna gain of 0dBd. The radio must be used in vehicle-mount configurations with a maximum operating duty factor not exceeding 50%, in typical push-to-talk configurations. This radio is NOT
approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled environment. This radio is restricted to occupational use, work
related operations only where radio operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure conditions of its passengers
and bystanders by maintaining the minimum separation distance of 47.7 inches (121 cm) between any persons and the antenna.
Failure to observe these restrictions will result in exceeding the FCC RF exposure limits.
CAUTION - DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle). Transmitting more than 50% of the
time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX” icon on
the radio display is illuminated. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the P-T-T button on the radio’s microphone.
CAUTION - DO NOT operate the transmitter of ML3215, ML3245 mobile radios when someone
(bystanders) outside the vehicle is within 47.7 inches (121 cm) of the antenna.
Antenna installation must be limited to the center of the roof-top of a vehicle where the passengers are below the metallic
ground plane (roof-top) to ensure compliance.
NOTE: This radio operates in FCC regulated frequency bands.
All radios must be licensed by the FCC before use. Because this radio contains a transmitter, Federal law prohibits
unauthorized use or adjustments of this radio.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause
harmful interference.
Safety
CAUTION - DO NOT operate the transmitter of any radio unless all RF connectors are secure and any open
connectors are properly terminated.
CAUTION - DO NOT operate the radio near electrical blasting
caps or in an explosive atmosphere.
CAUTION - All equipment must be properly grounded for safe
operation.
WARNING - DO NOT allow children to operate transmitter - equipped radio equipment.
WARNING - All equipment should be serviced by a qualified technician.
WARNING - It is mandatory that radio installations in vehicles fueled by liquefied petroleum gas conform to the following
standard: National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 58 applies to radio installations in vehicles fueled
by liquefied petroleum (LP) gas with LP gas container in the
trunk or other sealed-off space
within the interior of the vehicle. This standard requires that:
1.
2.
Any space containing radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal from the space in which the LP gas container and its
fittings are located.
Remote (outside) filling connections shall be vented to the outside.

on power-up and display will show
. To check the radio volume, press and hold the monitor button (B) then rotate
the control to desired volume level.
Adjust the squelch setting located behind the volume control by rotating the squelch control (C) counter clockwise for loose
squelch and fully clockwise for tight squelch.
Press up or down channel selector buttons to choose the desired channel. Press the monitor button to check the channel
for activity. To avoid interrupting another user, make sure the channel is clear before you begin transmitting.
To transmit, place the radio microphone approximately 2” (5 cm) from your mouth. Press and hold the P-T-T
bar while speaking in a normal tone. Release the P-T-T bar when you are finished speaking; the radio will be
placed into receive mode.
Radio Functions
Tone Signaling
To help block out unwanted calls to your ProLine ML3215 / ML3245 can be programmed to look
for privacy tones.
Scan Modes
Scanning is a Dealer programmable feature that allows you to monitor a number of channels. Your radio communications
Dealer 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
the lower right corner of the display to confirm radio scanning.
icon will show in
Normal Channel Scan
If a conversation is detected on any of the channels in the scan list, the radio will stop on that channel and you
will be able to hear the conversation. In normal scan, you can transmit on that active channel during the
programmable scan delay time. (The scan delay time is the amount of time the radio will stay on that channel
once 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 channel
is changed. In scan mode, if radio power is turned off and on, the radio will return to the scan mode until a channel
is changed.
Priority Scan TX
A single channel may be programmed as the "Priority" channel. Priority channel activity takes precedence over
all 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 Scan
A single channel may be programmed as 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 during a conversation, the radio will
automatically move to, and remain on, the Priority channel. Priority channel activity takes precedence over all other
conversations.
Priority Select Scan
A selected channel becomes the “Priority” channel. As you change the channel, that channel’s frequency will become your
new Priority channel. Priority channel activity takes precedence over all other conversations.
Nuisance Delete
During receiving a signal or scan delay time, if the MON (monitor) button is pressed, the current receiving channel is deleted in
scan
list and is no longer scanned. When the power is turned off and on, the deleted channel is restored to the scan list.
Busy Channel Lockout
When the RX signal is being received, the radio’s transmitter is disabled.
Marked Idle
When used in conjunction with Busy Channel Lockout (BCLO), the radio will allow a transmission if the correct tone is present
with the received signal.
TX Delay
The transmission will remain active for approximately 180 milliseconds even though the P-T-T bar is released when using
CTCSS 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-out
time 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 TX
inhibit time can be selected and programmed by your radio communications Dealer from 1 second to 100 seconds. For
instance, 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 3
minutes, 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 Decode
Each channel can be programmed with two-tone decode selections: Individual Call, Group Call and Super Group Call. Your
radio communications Dealer can program your radio(s) for this feature. To activate or reset the two-tone decode, press and
hold 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 level
adjustment for noisy or windy conditions. The VOX icon will be displayed when option is active.
P/A Mode
Allows your radio to become a public address system with an optional external speaker connected. In this mode only
microphone audio heard over the optional external speaker when the P-T-T bar is pressed.
Mode Operation and Function Set Up
Depending on how your Dealer has programmed your radio, you may be able to change certain modes and functions of your
radio. 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 pressing
