your authorised Tait Dealer or your
company administrator. Therefore,
some functions will vary in operation
or will not be available. The
configuration information can be
written onto this User Guide.
Batteries
When you select a Scan Group
of Channels, scanning for activity
will begin automatically.
Use Tait Orca 5000 NiCd/NiMH
batteries or Tait Orca Elan/Excel/Eclipse
NiCd/NiMH batteries. For more
information on batteries, refer to the
Battery Care Guide.
IMPORTANT
Do not put Tait Orca 5000 batteries

Battery Types
Battery Shift Life
There are two types of battery for your Tait Orca radio: Nickel Cadmium
(NiCd) and Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH). NiCd batteries are the preferred
choice for shelf life, service life, high transmit duty cycles, extreme
temperatures and general use. NiMH Batteries are best suited to low
transmit duty cycles where a long standby duration is required.
Battery shift life is affected by many factors. For example:
Battery Safety

Battery Storage
u Battery service life is ultimately reduced by the number of charges
charge remaining after every shift prior to recharging, and if the battery
is short conditioned every week.

compared with NiMH.

Battery Problems
Crystalline growth and the formation of inter-metallic compounds are
the main causes of poor battery performance.
Conditioning helps to break up crystalline formations that cause reduced
surface area for charge and thus reduced capacity/shift life. Crystalline
formations can cause self-discharge in extreme cases where the crystals
grow through the separator.
Conditioning also helps to break up the inter-metallic compounds that
can form and cause resistance and thus reduced capacity/shift life.

u When transmitting, hold the radio microphone 25–50mm (1–2 inches) from your mouth.
u When transmitting, keep the antenna at least 25mm (1 inch) from any part of your
body, especially your face and eyes.
u Turn off the radio where radio waves could interfere with electronic devices.
u Turn off the radio at fuel/gas stations.
u Turn off the radio in an area where detonators/explosives are being used.
u Turn off the radio before boarding/leaving an aircraft and whilst on board an aircraft.
u Do not use the radio whilst driving vehicles or operating machinery.
u Do not use earphones or headsets at high volume levels.
u Do not transmit in frequency bands that are reserved for use by distress beacons, such
as 406 to 406.1 MHz.
u Do not put the radio, battery or accessories in liquids as they will be damaged.
u Do not allow children to play with the radio; it is not a toy.
Hazardous Atmospheres
A hazardous atmosphere has the potential for fire or explosion from dusts, gases, liquids
and solids. Make sure of the following in hazardous atmospheres:
u Turn off the radio, unless the radio is qualified for use in hazardous atmospheres.
u Do not replace batteries, even if the radio is qualified for use in hazardous atmospheres.
u Do not use damaged radios. If the radio was originally qualified for use in such
environments, the radio is not qualified if it has a cracked casing.
u Do not modify the configuration of a radio that is qualified as intrinsically safe for use
in hazardous atmospheres. If you do, it will not be qualified.

Store batteries in a cool and dry location, away from direct sunlight.
Long condition the battery after storage.
