To fit, unpack the battery and slot it into the rear of the radio. Push the battery down until the catch clips into the bottom of the case. The battery is fully secure when this catch has clipped into position. To remove, push the catch upward towards the top of the radio. The battery pack unclips and can then be removed. Battery Charging New battery packs must be fully charged before they are used. The battery should only be charged using Sepura plc approved battery chargers. Failure to use an approved battery charger may invalidate the warranty of the battery and the radio. A range of battery chargers is available that allow the battery to be charged while fitted to, or removed from, the radio (depending upon the charger model selected). When the battery is fitted to the radio, the battery can be charged via the facility connector located at the base of the radio. If the battery is charged with the radio switched on, the time remaining to charge the battery to its full capacity is shown on the radio‟s display. When charging, the colour of the tri-colour LED on the radio indicates the progress of battery charging: flashing amber shows waiting to charge, amber shows charging in progress, green shows charging complete and red shows charging failure. A fully discharged battery may not provide enough power to support the display during the initial phases of charging. However, when sufficient power is available, the display will operate. Safety Precautions Many professional and consumer products from cycle lamps to mobile phones and laptop computers now use rechargeable lithium polymer cells because of their small size and high energy density. When charged and used correctly these are reliable and safe. There are some simple precautions that should be observed when charging and using Lithium polymer packs. The precautions below apply to most/all Lithium polymer battery packs and chargers. 1. Properly designed Lithium polymer batteries and chargers contain effective protection circuitry to safeguard the pack during charging and use, but in some very rare circumstances of internal cell failure during charging, the protection circuits may be Space for user identity label Battery Charger Connectors Press to release Battery Sprung lugs Catch
MOD-10-1164 sepura TETRA Terminals Product Guide 06-06-12 Page 21 of 45 Issue 9 © Sepura plc 2012 ineffective and the pack may overheat. To minimise the chance of this causing further damage, Lithium polymer battery chargers should be used in well ventilated areas away from combustible material. For example, charging of a TETRA battery, mobile phone battery or laptop battery should not be carried out with the battery and charger very near to curtains, soft furnishings, paper or other combustible material. 2. Copy batteries are available for many products including TETRA radios made by Sepura. These may be cheaper than approved batteries, but may not include protection features used in the approved battery, so may be less safe and should not be used. When the radio is switched on the battery is tested to check that it is an authentic Sepura battery. This information may be viewed on the Battery card in the Radio Information menu. Please see section on Radio Information in the Sepura TETRA Radios User Guide. If a non-Sepura battery is detected in a STP radio, depending on the customisation of the radio, a warning message is displayed (“Unidentified battery – Powering Down”) and the radio switches off, or a warning message is displayed (“Unidentified battery - charging suspended”) which may be cleared by any key press and if charging of the battery is attempted no charging will occur. Depending on the customisation of the radio, if a Sepura battery is identified, the percentage of charge remaining is then displayed. 3. Use only Sepura approved chargers for charging Sepura products and Sepura approved batteries. Non-approved chargers may incorrectly charge the battery, leading to premature failure, or render the battery potentially unsafe. 4. Sepura batteries are designed to be rugged and to give good service. However, as is the case for all Lithium polymer batteries, it is possible for extreme mechanical damage to weaken the internal structure of the cells within the battery. Therefore, if the battery casing shows signs of severe damage (not the minor scratches and bumps of everyday use), or has been subjected to major mechanical abuse, the battery should be safely discarded immediately. STP8X BATTERIES For STP8X radios a Sepura approved ATEX/IECEx battery must be used. Fitting and Removing the Battery For STP8X radios: The battery must not be removed or replaced in a hazardous environment. Before fitting a battery please ensure that the SIM Card holder/Micro SD card cover is screwed shut. To fit, unpack the battery and slot it into the rear of the radio. Push the battery down until the two black lugs lodge into the bottom of the case. The battery is fully secure when the lugs have locked into position. To remove, push the black button in the base of the battery upward towards the top of the radio. The battery releases and can then be removed.
MOD-10-1164 sepura TETRA Terminals Product Guide 06-06-12 Page 22 of 45 Issue 9 © Sepura plc 2012 Battery Charging For STP8X radios: The battery must not be charged in a hazardous environment. Do not use the charger in a hazardous environment. New battery packs must be fully charged before they are used. The battery must only be charged using Sepura plc approved battery chargers. If an attempt is made to use a non-approved battery charger the ATEX/IECEx safety rating will be invalidated and the radio will switch off. This may also invalidate the users‟ insurance. The Sepura battery charger allows the battery to be charged either while fitted to or removed from the radio.

STP8000, STP8100, STP8200, STP8X The following warnings and information apply to all STP radios: The mechanism for measuring the remaining charge in the battery may become inaccurate over time. To avoid this, periodically run the battery flat in normal use (so that the radio automatically switches off) and then re-charge the battery fully without disconnecting it from the charger. If a battery has been stored for a long time it may go flat and will not be able to power a radio until it has been recharged. In extreme cases it may be necessary to restart the charging by disconnecting and reconnecting the charger (or switching the charger off and then on) as charging will stop after twenty minutes if the battery has not recovered enough charge in that time to power the radio.
MOD-10-1164 sepura TETRA Terminals Product Guide 06-06-12 Page 23 of 45 Issue 9 © Sepura plc 2012 The battery includes circuitry to protect against damage caused by accidental shorting of the contacts. Once the battery has protected itself, it will not operate again reliably until it has been removed from the radio and been fully re-charged. If the battery is not fully re-charged the battery meter and time-to-charge indication on the radio may give an inaccurate reading. The amount of charge in a battery, shown as a percentage, is displayed on the Battery card in the Radio Information menu. Please see section on Radio Information in the Sepura TETRA Radios User Guide. Low Battery Warning. The radio warns the user when less than 12% of the charge is left by displaying the Low Battery Icon on the top line of the screen and repeatedly flashing the red LED for one second at one second intervals. The Battery Level indicator at the left hand side of the screen is displayed in red on the STP8000, STP8100 and STP8X radios. When the battery is flat there is an audible alert just before the radio switches off. As with all batteries, charging cycles reduce the cell capacity. The battery is specified to have retained a nominal 80% of its original fully charged capacity after 500 charge cycles. Charging should be conducted using a Sepura approved charger. Batteries have a finite life; they deteriorate if they are not charged on a periodic basis. Batteries should not be left for more than 6 months without recharging as the cells will deteriorate and the batteries will not be recoverable.

MOD-10-1164 sepura TETRA Terminals Product Guide 06-06-12 Page 30 of 45 Issue 9 © Sepura plc 2012 Battery Charging The battery should only be charged with Sepura plc approved battery chargers. Failure to use an approved battery charger will invalidate the warranty of the battery and the hand-held. A range of battery chargers is available that allow the battery to be charged while fitted to, or removed from, the hand-held (depending upon the charger model and hand-held type selected). When the battery is fitted to the hand-held, the battery can be charged via the facility connector located at the base of the hand-held. If the battery is charged with the hand-held switched on, the time remaining to charge the battery to its full capacity is shown on the hand-held‟s display. When charging, the colour of the LED on the hand-held indicates the progress of battery charging: orange shows charging in progress, green shows charging complete, red shows charging failure. A fully discharged battery may not provide enough power to support the hand-held display during the initial phases of charging. However, when sufficient power is available, the display will operate. The battery includes circuitry to protect against damage caused by accidental shorting of the contacts. Once the battery has protected itself, it will not operate again until it has been removed from the hand-held and charged. The hand-held warns the User of a Low battery condition by displaying the Low battery Icon and repetitively flashing the Red LED for 1 second at 1 second intervals. The Battery Level indicator at the left hand side of the screen is also displayed in red on the SRH3800 and SRH3900 radios. As with all batteries, charging cycles reduce the cell capacity. The battery is specified to have retained a nominal 80% of its original fully charged capacity after 500 charge cycles. Charging must be conducted using a Sepura approved charger. Batteries have a finite life; they deteriorate if they are not charged on a periodic basis. Batteries should not be left for more than 6 months without recharging as the cells will deteriorate and the batteries will not be recoverable. Many professional and consumer products from cycle lamps to mobile phones and laptop computers now use rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells because of their small size and high energy density. When charged and used correctly these are reliable and safe. There are some simple precautions that should be observed when charging and using Li-ion packs. The precautions below apply to most/all Li-ion battery packs and chargers. 1. Properly designed Li-ion batteries and chargers contain effective protection circuitry to safeguard the pack during charging and use, but in some very rare circumstances of internal cell failure during charging, the protection circuits may be ineffective and the pack may overheat. To minimise the chance of this causing further damage, Li-ion battery chargers should be used in well ventilated areas away from combustible material. For example, don‟t charge your TETRA battery, mobile phone battery or laptop battery with the battery and charger very near to curtains, soft furnishings, paper or other combustible material.
MOD-10-1164 sepura TETRA Terminals Product Guide 06-06-12 Page 31 of 45 Issue 9 © Sepura plc 2012 2. Copy batteries are available for many products, particularly mobile phones and more recently TETRA radios, including those made by Sepura. These may be cheaper than approved batteries, but may not include protection features used in the approved battery, so may be less safe and should not be used. 3. Use only Sepura approved chargers for charging Sepura products. Non-approved chargers may incorrectly charge the battery, leading to premature failure, or render the battery potentially unsafe. 4. Sepura batteries are designed to be rugged and to give good service. However, as is the case for all Li-ion batteries, it is possible for extreme mechanical damage to weaken the internal structure of the cells within the battery. Therefore, if the battery casing shows signs of severe damage (not the minor scratches and bumps of everyday use), or has been subjected to major mechanical abuse, do not continue to use the battery.

MOD-10-1164 sepura TETRA Terminals Product Guide 06-06-12 Page 36 of 45 Issue 9 © Sepura plc 2012 APPLICATIONS INTERFACE UNIT MOBILE / GATEWAY RADIO ACCESSORIES CONSOLE AND APPLICATIONS INTERFACE UNIT The Mobile/Gateway radio supports the connection of up to two console units. Each console unit can be a Standard Console, Colour Console or a Handset Based Console, complete with keypad and display, or an Applications Interface Unit, which is similar to a console but which does not have a keypad and display. This enables the mobile to support the connection of up to 6 audio accessories. If two consoles are fitted, they both display the same information. This makes it possible for a user to move from one console to another without having to take any special action. If two users are using the same Mobile/Gateway radio, operational procedures are required to ensure that the actions of the two users do not conflict. On some configurations it is possible to have a hands-free kit attached to each console. If this is the case, only one of the remote microphones is live during a call. The remote microphone which is live is the one attached to the console which accepted or made the call or switched the call to hands-free. AUDIO ACCESSORIES The Mobile/Gateway radio supports up to 6 audio accessories, which can be any combination selected from:  Standard Console, Colour Console, Applications Interface Unit: o none to two hands-free kits o none to four standard handsets o none to four standard fist microphones  In addition to the above, the Colour Console also supports: Programming Lead Connection PTT Jack Socket Microphone Jack Socket Accessory Connection (not used if Jack Sockets are in use) Accessory Connection Connection to Transceiver
MOD-10-1164 sepura TETRA Terminals Product Guide 06-06-12 Page 37 of 45 Issue 9 © Sepura plc 2012 o none to two VAC handsets o none to two VAC speaker microphones (which may be configured as fist microphones)  Handset Based Console: o built-in handset o none to one hands-free kit MOBILE / GATEWAY RADIO AUDIO CONTROL The Mobile/Gateway radio supports the concept of a single controlling audio accessory for a call. The controlling audio accessory is the one in control of the call, and the only one on which the microphone becomes active. When a fist microphone or hands-free kit is used, the received audio is directed to the loudspeaker connected to the mobile unit. When a handset is used, the received audio is directed to the handset earpiece. The controlling audio accessory is normally the Remote Microphone used in conjunction with the Loudspeaker, i.e. the hands-free kit or „Public‟ mode. If the user requires that a different accessory should become the controlling accessory this may be achieved by pressing the PTT key on that accessory or by taking that accessory off hook. If the new controlling accessory has an earpiece then normally this is used for received audio instead of the Loudspeaker („Private‟ mode). When in „Private‟ mode the user can switch to „Public‟ mode by pressing the hands free soft key if configured. Taking a handset off hook, or using its PTT will return to „Private‟ mode. While the controlling accessory is not the Remote Microphone, the user may switch to another accessory by pressing the PTT key on that accessory. Taking that accessory off-hook does not change the controlling accessory. This allows a second user to listen to received audio on another accessory. If the controlling accessory is placed on-hook this clears the call unless customised differently. Other accessories can be put back on-hook without clearing the call in progress. All earpiece audio is left on all the time in order that multiple users may listen to the received audio. The audio presentation for duplex calls depends on the capability of the controlling accessory. With a duplex controlling accessory, duplex calls have a duplex presentation. With a half duplex accessory, duplex calls are controlled using the PTT key.

MOD-10-1164 sepura TETRA Terminals Product Guide 06-06-12 Page 39 of 45 Issue 9 © Sepura plc 2012 HEALTH AND SAFETY USER INFORMATION The STP8X radio must not be used in environments exceeding those listed in the Regulatory statements section of this user guide. Please review the STP8X conditions for safe use in the Regulatory section of this user guide. Always ensure that the STP8X radio is in good operational condition before entering any hazardous environment. CARE OF YOUR RADIO Use only a slightly damp soft cloth for cleaning all exterior surfaces. Do NOT use chemical aerosol or abrasive cleaners. To ensure efficient operation, clean the battery contacts periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Never leave the radio in extreme temperatures (over 55°C), for example behind glass in very hot, direct sunlight. BATTERIES Safety Please observe the following before handling batteries: To prevent injury, do not allow metal objects to contact or short circuit the battery radios. Make sure that the battery radios do not become dirty. Do not immerse in water or incinerate. If you need to replace the battery, use the Sepura plc approved battery types. For STP8X radios a Sepura approved ATEX/IECEx battery must be used. The battery must not be removed or replaced in a hazardous environment and the battery must not be charged in a hazardous environment. Disposal Batteries must be disposed of in the correct manner according to Sepura environmental policy. If in any doubt, refer to your supplier or local Sepura plc representative. ACCESSORIES Only accessories supplied or approved by Sepura plc are recommended for use with the radios. Any accessory used that is not supplied or approved by Sepura plc could cause damage to the radios and may invalidate the warranty. For safety reasons Sepura plc do not recommend that accessories be used with a radio without first gaining approval from Sepura plc to do so.
MOD-10-1164 sepura TETRA Terminals Product Guide 06-06-12 Page 40 of 45 Issue 9 © Sepura plc 2012 For STP8X radios Sepura approved ATEX/IECEx Accessories must be used. The radio must not be operated unless an accessory is attached or the RuSC Cover is screwed in place. Accessories and the RuSC cover must not be fitted, or removed or replaced while in a hazardous environment. When attaching the RuSC cover and accessories, to ensure that a seal is maintained, tighten the screw to 0.15 Nm and 0.25Nm respectively. When an accessory is connected to any STP radio, the accessory is tested to check that it is an approved Sepura accessory. If a non-Sepura accessory is detected one of the following warning messages is displayed:  Accessory Invalid  Accessory Unsupported  Accessory Unapproved STP8000, STP8100, STP8200 If “Accessory Invalid” is displayed there is an accessory connected to the radio but the radio cannot determine what it is. It is likely that the accessory‟s software or configuration is corrupted. Continued safe operation cannot be guaranteed. It is recommended that the accessory is disconnected as soon as possible. If “Accessory Unsupported” is displayed the installed radio software may not be able to fully support the connected accessory. If the accessory is a Sepura approved accessory that is new to the market a radio software upgrade may solve the issue. If the accessory is an unapproved 3rd party accessory the radio may be able to provide partial accessory support but safe operation cannot be guaranteed. If “Accessory Unapproved” is displayed the connected accessory is not a Sepura approved accessory. The accessory may still work with the radio but safe operation cannot be guaranteed. STP8X If the screen displays 'Accessory Invalid', 'Accessory Unapproved' or 'Accessory Unsupported': a non Sepura approved accessory has been attached to the radio which may compromise the safety ratings. The user may, however, continue operation of the radio with the accessory connected. If the screen displays 'Accessory Invalid', 'Accessory Unapproved' or 'Accessory Unsupported': a non Sepura approved accessory has been attached to the radio which may compromise the safety ratings. To ensure continued safety, after a brief period of time the radio switches off.
MOD-10-1164 sepura TETRA Terminals Product Guide 06-06-12 Page 41 of 45 Issue 9 © Sepura plc 2012 SIM Card and Micro SD CARD TRANSMIT INHIBIT The radio can be switched into Transmit Inhibit should the user enter a RF sensitive area (e.g. a hospital). This mode is indicated by the tri-colour LED rapidly flashing amber 4 times at approximately two second intervals and the display of the transmit inhibit icon in the top right hand corner of the screen. In this state, the radio does not transmit under any circumstances in either TMO or DMO, except when using the emergency key if customised to do so. The radio remains on the selected group and in some circumstances can still receive conversations from this talkgroup. The radio can automatically send a status message to the customised destination when the radio enters Transmit Inhibit, and again when it leaves Transmit Inhibit. Use of the emergency key whilst in Transmit Inhibit is supported; however, the time to set up the emergency call could be increased by a few seconds. ANTENNA When fitting the antenna, do not over-tighten. Do not use the radio without the antenna attached unless the radio is being used with an external antenna (e.g. on RSM). ACOUSTIC SHOCK Sepura plc has engineered an innovative audio solution for the radio. Duplex audio (for telephone type calls) and the half duplex audio (for radio calls) are directed to different loudspeakers. Duplex audio is routed to the low power Duplex Earpiece on the front of the radio. A more powerful loudspeaker, situated behind the alpha-numeric keypad on the STP8000 radios, behind the panel on the lower front of the STP8100, STP8200 and STP8X radios and on the rear of the SRH3000 series radios, is used for half duplex audio. This loudspeaker directs the loud audio away from a user‟s ear should the user accidentally answer a half duplex call as though it were a duplex call. WARNING: Hold the radio close to the ear only when making, or receiving, duplex calls. For STP8X radios do not insert or remove the SIM Card or Micro SD card in a hazardous environment. When closing the SIM / SD plastic cover tighten the screw to 0.1 Nm. This ensures that a seal is maintained. For STP8X radios a Sepura approved ATEX/IECEx Antenna must be used. The radio must not be operated without an antenna fitted. Do not fit, remove or replace the antenna in a hazardous environment! To ensure that a seal is maintained between the antenna and the Radio, screw on antenna until contact is made and follow with a minimum ¼ turn.
