Safety Information

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. 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 and Federal Communications Commission limits.

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. 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.

2. Remote (outside) filling connections shall be vented to the outside.

Warning - DO NOT

operate the transmitter of a mobile radio when someone outside the vehicle is within two

feet (0.6 meter) of the antenna.

Warning - DO NOT

Caution - DO NOT

allow children to operate transmitter - equipped radio equipment.

operate the radio near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

operate the transmitter of any radio unless all RF connectors are secure and any open

connectors are properly terminated.

All equipment must be properly grounded for safe operation.

All equipment should be serviced by a qualified technician.

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.

Installation Safeguards

Warning - DO NOT

install the unit where it would interfere with the proper operation of automatic collision

protection devices (air bags).

Warning - DO NOT

install the unit where it would likely cause injury in case of accident.

A. Select a location for the radio where you can easily see and reach all controls, including microphone. B. Using the radio mounting bracket as a template, mark the spots with a pencil where the bracket securing

screws will be located.

Note - Before drilling holes in the vehicle, verify that there is nothing that could be damaged or get in the way by drilling and putting screws in this location. It is better to use existing passages in the dashboard, trunk, and floor for the routing cable, thus avoiding excessive drilling.

After drilling holes for the mounting bracket, attach bracket to surface using the two large Phillips head screws.

C. Install the radio unit to the bracket using the two large black screw knobs, two spring lock washers, and two

large flat washers.

Note - Depending on the location where the radio unit will be mounted, it may be more convenient to install the microphone bracket before installing the radio unit into place.

D. Mount the microphone bracket to the most convenient side of the radio unit, using the two small Phillips

head screws. There are two options for installing the microphone bracket, allowing the on-hook placement of the microphone from either the top or the front of the bracket.

E. Connect the DC power supply cord to the radio. If necessary, the power supply cord may be connected

before mounting the radio unit to the radio bracket.

F. Push the modular microphone connector into the microphone jack (located in the front of the radio unit)

until a click is heard.

Caution - Some electronic fuel injection, anti-skid braking systems, cruise controls, and vehicle alarms may be prone to interference from radio frequency energy or may malfunction due to a lack of protection from RF energy. If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult your dealer to get help determining whether the electronics equipment in the vehicle will operate properly when the radio is transmitting.

The radio is not intended for operation in a positive ground vehicle.

You must purchase an antenna for proper operation of the radio. Consult your dealer to determine which antennas are suitable.

series Operations

Power On/Off - Volume: Turn the radio on by rotating the On/Off - volume control clockwise until you hear a click and, if enabled via Dealer programming, the self test “alert” tone will be heard. SM-6000 will briefly appear in the display. Turn the radio off by rotating the control counter clockwise.

Trunked Mode Operation

Your Maxon SM-6000

Enduro

series may be programmed to operate with both Trunked and Conventional

modes. There are only a few differences in their operation and these are detailed as follows.

Channel Monitoring: While on a Trunked System, channel monitoring is performed automatically by the radio transceiver. In accordance with the FCC rules, while operating on a Conventional System the channel must be monitored prior to transmitting. In both Trunked and Conventional Systems, operation may vary from System to System. Your Maxon Dealer will be able to assist with particular operational parameters and procedures for the various Systems and functions.

System “Handshaking”

In a Trunked System, when the P-T-T is pressed on the microphone, a “Handshaking” routine occurs which establishes communications between the radio and Trunked System. When the LED indicator glows steadily red, voice transmission may begin. If your Maxon Dealer has enabled the “Clear to Talk” tone option, the radio will emit a short tone signaling voice transmission may occur. In Conventional Systems, there is no System “handshaking” and voice transmission may start immediately.

Transmitting

A. Rotate the On/Off - Volume control clockwise to turn the power on. B. Adjust On/Off - Volume control further clockwise to increase the volume level. Rotate counter clockwise to

decrease volume level. C. Select the desired System and Group using the Up/Down buttons located on the front of the unit. D. Insure the microphone is secure in the Microphone jack located on the front of the unit, press and hold the

P-T-T lever on the side of the Microphone.. E. Listen for the “Clear to Talk” tone (or wait for the LED indicator to glow steady red) and begin talking.

Hold the microphone 1 or 2 inches from you mouth, speak clearly and distinctly into the microphone area of

the front grille. F. Release the P-T-T lever as soon as the message is complete and listen for a response. The P-T-T lever must

be pressed continuously while talking and released to listen.

Receiving

A. Turn power on and set the volume level as previously described. B. Select the desired System and System Group. C. When a message is received, the LED indicator will glow green. D. Respond to message by removing the microphone from hook, then press the P-T-T lever on the side of the

microphone. Press the P-T-T continuously while talking and release to listen.
