About this guide
This user’s guide provides information about the TM8250,
TM8254 and TM8255 mobile radios. The radio behaviour
described in this guide applies to radios with firmware
version 6.0x and higher. If you need further assistance or
your radio does not operate as you expect, contact your
radio provider.
Website: For information about how to install your
TM8200 radio, go to www.taitworld.com/technical.
For your safety 7
For your safety
Before using your radio, please read the following important
safety and compliance information.
Safety warnings used in this guide
Within this guide, the following conventions are used to alert
you to important safety information:
Warning: There is a potential risk of death or serious injury.
Caution: There is the risk of minor or moderate injury
to people.
Caution: “Caution” is used without the safety alert symbol
when there is a risk of equipment damage or malfunction.
Radio frequency exposure information
For your own safety and to ensure you comply with the
Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) radio
frequency (RF) exposure guidelines, please read the following
information before using this radio.
Using this radio
You should use this radio only for work-related purposes (it is
not authorized for any other use) and if you are fully aware
of, and can exercise control over, your exposure to RF energy.
To prevent exceeding FCC RF exposure limits, you must
control the amount and duration of RF that you and other
people are exposed to.
8For your safety
It is also important that you:
■Do not remove the RF exposure label from the radio.
■Ensure this RF exposure information accompanies the
radio when it is transferred to other users.
■Do not use the radio if you do not adhere to the
guidelines on controlling your exposure to RF.
Controlling your exposure to RF energy
This radio emits RF energy or radio waves primarily when
calls are made. RF is a form of electromagnetic energy (as is
sunlight), and there are recommended levels of maximum
RF exposure.
To control your exposure to RF and comply with the
maximum exposure limits for occupational/controlled
environments, follow these guidelines:
■Do not talk (transmit) on the radio more than the rated
transmit duty cycle. This is important because the radio
radiates more energy when it is transmitting than when it
is receiving.
■While you are transmitting (talking or sending data) on
the radio, you must ensure that there is always a distance
of 0.9m (35 inches) between people and the antenna.
This is the minimum safe distance.
■Use the radio only with Tait-approved antennas and
attachments, and make only authorized modifications to
the antenna otherwise you could damage the radio and
violate FCC regulations.
Website: For more information on what RF energy is
and how to control your exposure to it, go to
www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html.
For your safety 9
Compliance with RF energy exposure standards
This two-way radio complies with these RF energy exposure
standards and guidelines:
■United States Federal Communications Commission,
Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR 1.1307, 1.1310
and 2.1091
■American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute
of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
■Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
C95.1-1999 Edition.
This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure
limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environments
at operating duty factors of up to 50% talk to 50% listen.
Radio frequency emissions limits in the USA
Part 15 of the FCC Rules imposes RF emission limits on
electronic equipment to prevent interference to reception of
broadcast services.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the condition that this device does
not cause harmful interference.
Note:
Changes or modifications to this device that are not
expressly approved by Tait Electronics Limited may make its use
illegal.
Unapproved modifications or changes to radio
The radio is designed to satisfy the applicable compliance
regulations. Do not make modifications or changes to the
radio that are not expressly approved by Tait Electronics
Limited. Failure to do so could invalidate compliance
requirements and void the user’s authority to operate
the radio.
10 For your safety

About GPS information
Your radio may be connected to a GPS (global positioning
system) receiver, and programmed (see the note below) so
you can view GPS information such as latitude and
longitude, true course, speed, and coordinated universal
time. Your radio may also be programmed to display UTM
(universal transverse mercator) information such as the UTM
zone, and northing and easting coordinates.
Note: GPS information on the radio display is not a standard
feature. Before being programmed, it must be
purchased and enabled on the radio via the Software
Feature Enabler. Contact Tait Electronics Limited for
more information.
About GPS status information
While viewing GPS information, GPS status information
appears at the top right of the display.
The status information you see on a hand-held control head
may differ to that on a standard control head. In the
following section, status information for a hand-held control
head is shown in brackets [ ].
The following GPS status information may appear in the
display:
■Tracking [trk]: the GPS receiver is communicating with
asatellite.
■Lost cnx [no cnx]: the radio has lost serial
communications with the GPS receiver.
■Stored [no fix]: GPS receiver is having trouble
connecting to a satellite and the radio is displaying stored
information that may not be current.

About the lone worker feature
The ‘lone worker’ emergency feature is designed for people
who work alone in potentially hazardous environments. Your
radio may be programmed so that lone worker monitoring is
active as soon as your radio is turned on, or you may be able
to turn lone worker on and off.
While lone worker is active, the radio expects a response
from you at regular intervals, and usually prompts you with a
warning beep. Typically, this happens every hour.
If you are unable to respond to this prompt, an audible
warning may be given shortly before the radio sends an
emergency call or enters emergency mode, to warn you and
to prevent false activation.
For a detailed explanation of emergency mode, see “Making
an emergency call” on page 56 (conventional operation) and
“Making an emergency call” on page 69 (trunked
operation).
Note: If the radio is operating in silent mode, then any
audible indicators for lone worker are turned off.
38 Basic operation
Lone worker operation
Lone worker monitoring is made up of three stages. The way
the radio behaves and the duration of each stage depends on
how the radio is programmed. See “Lone worker messages
and indicators” on page 38.
■Stage 1: Lone worker is activated and the user activity
timer begins to count down. This timer is typically set
for 60 minutes, but may be programmed for as long as
5hours.
■Stage 2: The user activity time expires and the
user response timer begins to count down. This timer
is typically set for 10 seconds, but may be programmed
for as long as 1.5 minutes.
■Stage 3: The user response time expires and the radio
sends an emergency call or enters emergency mode.
Lone worker messages and indicators
The following table explains the messages and indicators
that may be associated with the lone worker feature.
Note: Your radio may be programmed so that there is no
visible or audible indication of lone worker operation.

Activating lone worker
To turn the lone worker feature on and off:
■Press the assigned function key.
The message Loneworker activated (or Loneworker
deactivated) appears in the display.
Note: Your radio may be programmed so that lone worker is
active as soon as your radio is turned on.
Responding to a lone worker prompt
When the lone worker user activity timer expires, the
message Loneworker awaiting appears on the display
and you hear a low-pitched beep.
Alternatively, there may not be any visible or audible
indication that the user activity timer has expired.
■Press any key, turn the volume control, briefly press the
on/off key, or press the PTT key. This resets the lone
worker user activity timer.
If you are unable to respond, the user response timer
begins to count down. You now have less than
two minutes to respond before the radio automatically
sends an emergency call or enters emergency mode.
■Press any key, turn the volume control, briefly press the
on/off key, or press the PTT key. This resets the user
activity timer.
If you are unable to respond, the radio sends an
emergency call or enters emergency mode.
Pressing a function key to reset the user
activity or user response timer
When a function key is used to reset either the user activity
or user response timer, the programmed action for the
function key is also activated. For example, if you press the
lone worker function key to reset either timer, then lone
worker is turned off.

About talkgroups and scan groups
A trunked radio system may consist of a many fleets of
radios, each with a number of talkgroups and scan groups.
A talkgroup consists of radio users either within the same
fleet, or across multiple fleets. A scan group is a group of
talkgroups.
When your radio belongs to a talkgroup or scan group, it is
said to be “subscribed”, and you receive all calls directed to
that group of users.
The diagram below shows a typical trunked radio system
with fleets, talkgroups and a scan group.

Making an emergency call
In an emergency you may be able to summon help by
sending an emergency call.
On most networks, an emergency call takes precedence over
other call types, and existing calls are cleared down so that
the emergency call can proceed.
To make an emergency call from your radio, you may be able
to either:
■make a preset emergency call,
■dial the emergency call using the alphanumeric keys.
After making the call, your radio may be programmed to
enter emergency mode. While emergency mode is active,
your radio may cycle between receive and transmit, so that
your dispatcher or the called party can hear any activity near
your radio.
To activate emergency mode, you may be able to:
■use a function key programmed for emergency mode, or
■use a hidden switch.
Making a preset emergency call
To make a preset emergency call from your radio, you may be
able to either use a programmed function key, use the main
menu, or use your quick access menu.
1Select your preset emergency call.
See “Making a preset call” on page 61.

Once emergency mode is activated, your radio makes an
emergency call to your dispatcher or some other
predetermined location. The radio then enters emergency
mode. While emergency mode is active, your radio may cycle
between receive and transmit, so that your dispatcher can
hear any activity near the radio.
Cancelling emergency mode
Reset the radio to normal operation at any time by turning
the radio off and then on.

Receiving a call
When you receive a call, your radio
displays the caller’s identity and
responds in one of two ways,
depending on the way it was
programmed and the way your network operates.
■On-air call setup: The radio gives a ring and automatically
accepts the call. The symbol appears in the display.
■Full off-air call setup (FOACSU): When a call is received,
the radio rings like a telephone.
To accept the call, press Answer. The radio gives a beep
and the symbol appears in the display. You may also
be able to accept the call if you briefly press the PTT key
or lift the microphone or hand-held control head off
the clip.
Once the symbol appears, you can proceed with the call,
as follows:
1Hold the microphone about 5cm (2 inches) from
your mouth.
2Press and hold the PTT key to transmit.
3Speak clearly into the microphone and release the PTT
key when you have finished talking.
While you are transmitting, the
red LED glows and the transmit
symbol appears in
the display.
4End the call by placing your microphone back onto its
hook or by pressing Clear. The network may also end the
call if neither you nor the other party transmits for a
predetermined time or if your call time limit is exceeded.

Troubleshooting
The following topics are covered in this section:
■when your radio won’t turn on
■removing the microphone
■reinstalling the microphone
■removing the radio from the vehicle
■describing the radio’s audible tones
When your radio won’t turn on
If the red, green and amber LEDs on the control head do not
light up when the radio is turned on, it is likely that no power
is reaching the radio. Check the following:
■Is the power connector firmly plugged into the rear of
the radio?
■Are the in-line fuses in good condition?
■Is the power cable securely connected to the vehicle bat-
tery or power supply?
If all appears to be in order, then contact your radio provider
for further assistance.
Removing the microphone
1
Using your thumb or forefinger, lift up one
of the corners of the microphone grom-
met. Firmly (but gently) pull that corner
until the seal comes away from the cavity.
2Repeat to expose another corner.
3Pull the exposed corners back and slide the grommet up
the microphone cable to reveal the microphone plug.
4Remove the plug from the microphone socket.

cord and push two adjacent corners of the grommet into
the microphone socket cavity.
3Squeeze the grommet and push the remaining corners
into position.
4Check that the grommet is seated correctly in the cavity.
