8 For your safety For your safetyBefore using your radio, please read the following important safety and compliance information.Radio frequency exposure informationFor your own safety and to ensure you comply with the radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines of the United States Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC), Industry Canada, and those from other administrations, please read the following information before using this radio.Using this radioYou 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.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 guide-lines on controlling your exposure to RF.Controlling your exposure to RF energyWarning RF exposure hazard! To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF exposure limits, mount the antenna at a location such that no person or persons can come closer than 50.5 inches (1.28 m) to the antenna: For radios with a transmit power >25 W: VHF radios must be installed using an antenna mounted centrally on the vehicle roof, with a gain of 2.15 dBi or 5.15 dBi. UHF and 800 MHz radios must be installed using an
For your safety 9 antenna mounted either centrally on the vehicle roof with a gain of 2.15 dBi or 5.65 dBi, or centrally mounted on the trunk with a gain of 5.65 dBi. 900 MHz radios must be installed using an antenna mounted either centrally on the vehicle roof or centrally mounted on the trunk with a gain of 2.15 dBi or 8 dBi. For radios with a transmit power of 25 W: The radio must be installed using an externally mounted antenna with a gain of either 2.15 dBi or 5.15 dBi.This radio emits radio frequency (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 dis-tance of 50.5 inches (1.28 m) 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.For more information on what RF energy is and how to control your exposure to it, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html.Health Canada warning statementThe installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from the Health Canada’s website http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca.

Getting started 21 2 Getting startedThis section gives an overview of your DMR radio, describes the radio’s controls and indicators, and explains how the radio menus are organized.This section covers:■About your DMR digital radio■About the radio controls■Understanding the radio display■Understanding the radio indicators■Using function keys to access frequently used fea-tures■Navigating the radio’s menus■Using the alphanumeric keys to search a list
22 Getting started About your DMR digital radioYour DMR digital radio can be programmed for DMR conventional or DMR trunked operation. Analog conventional and MPT operation is also available.DMR and MPT trunking operation is controlled by a software license (SFE) and may not be available with your radio.In DMR and MPT trunking operation, dual-mode networks are able to receive both digital and analog calls.You may notice differences between digital and analog calls in terms of:■static noise in low signal areas, and■radio coverage in marginal reception areas. Lack of static noiseOn digital networks there is no static noise, even in low signal areas. This lack of static is because your digital radio removes the ‘noise’ from the call, so that you hear only clear voice.CoverageWith digital networks, a call remains clear and then drops off quickly at the border of a coverage area. The reason for this is that a digital call is either received or it isn't. With analog networks, the background noise in a call gets progressively worse when you are in fringe areas or even slightly outside normal coverage areas.
Getting started 23 What you hear on an analog channelOn analog channels, your radio may be programmed so that you hear all conversations on a channel, or your user group may be segregated from other user groups by using special signaling. The special signaling is used to control the muting and unmuting of your radio, so that your radio is muted when other user groups are talking and unmuted for members of your user group.There are two muting controls that operate in your radio:■signaling mute■squelchSignaling muteThe radio’s signaling mute only allows the radio to unmute if the incoming call carries the tones specific to your user group. Your user group may use tones that are either audible, subaudible or both.SquelchThe radio’s squelch allows the radio to unmute only when the strength of the incoming signal is above a predetermined threshold. This means that only signals of reasonable intelligibility are made audible.
24 Getting started About the radio controlsThe radio controls are the PTT key, volume control, on / off key, scroll keys, selection keys and function keys. Some keys have functions assigned to both short and long key presses:■a short key press is less than one second, and ■a long key press is more than one second.The radio controls and their functions are described in the following sections.Name FunctionPTT key Press and hold to transmit and release to listenVolume control Rotate to change the speaker volumeOn/off key Turn the radio on or off with a long pressLeft and right selection keysAction determined by the text above the selection keyScroll keys Scroll up and down through a list of menu options, scroll left and right in messages, or access a pre-programmed menuEmergency key Activates emergency modeFunction keys Programmed for frequently used optionsscroll keyson/off keyvolume controlmicrophone socketPTT key (press-to-talk)red display speakergreenorangemicrophone radio status LEDsfunction keys 1 to 4left selection key right selection keyemergency key
Getting started 25 About the keypad microphoneYour radio may have a keypad microphone installed. The keypad microphone has a PTT key as well as alphanumeric keys, two scroll keys, and left and right selection keys. The PTT key, the scroll keys and the selection keys all work in the same way as those on the radio control head (see "About the radio controls").PTT key (press-to-talk)microphoneleft selection keyscroll keysalphanumeric keysright selection key
26 Getting started About the hand-held control headYour radio may have a hand-held control head installed, to enable you to operate the radio at a distance from the radio body. The keys and controls work in the same way as those on the standard control head, with the exception of the PTT and volume up and down keys. The hand-held control head also has two additional function keys.scroll keysfunction key 3volume upPTT key (press-to-talk)microphonestatus LEDsalphanumeric keysright selection keyvolume downfunction key 2 on/off keyfunction key 1displayfunction keys 4 to 6left selection key
Getting started 27 Understanding the radio displayThe messages and icons you see on your radio display depend on the mode in which your radio is operating and the way it is programmed.Radio display iconsThese are some of the icons you may see on your radio display:Icon MeaningScanning: your radio is monitoring a group of channels or workgroups for activityExternal alert: external alert is turned onSilent operation: your radio’s audible tones have been turned offLow-power transmit: your radio is set to transmit on low powerTransmit: your radio is transmittingScrambler: the voice-inversion scrambler is turned on (analog channels only)Signal strength indicator: the more bars, the stronger the signal being received by the radioScrolling: you can use or to move through a list, or access a pre-programmed menuTrunked mode iconsScanning: scanning has been turned offHomegroup: your radio has been returned to the homegroup using the homegroup toggle function keyCall queuing: call queuing is turned onCall queuing: there are calls in the call queueNetwork: your radio is registered on a trunked networkFlashing: your radio is attempting to register on a trunked networkTrunking: your radio has established a call and you are now able to speak to the other party

Operating in conventional mode 55 Making a callThe radio’s behavior when making a call changes depending on the type of channel selected.Channels can be programmed for:■DMR calls over a DMR network■DMR calls between radios■analog calls between radiosIf you are on a channel programmed for calls over the DMR network, the green LED indicates whether the network is active. By default, the network is inactive (green LED is off). Initiating a call will activate the network which will remain active for a programmed time. While the network is active (green LED glows), you can complete the call and start a new call.If you are on a channel programmed for DMR or analog calls between radios (without a radio network), the green LED indicates activity on the channel, i.e. whether someone is talking.For all DMR calls (over the network or radio to radio), you may hear a go-ahead double-beep after pressing the PTT key (if programmed). The radio may be programmed to ring or beep when a new DMR call is received.DMR calls have an inactivity timeout. If a pause in the conversation exceeds the timeout, the next press of the PTT key will establish a new call.

The radio gives a low-pitched beep if the channel is busy, and then waits until the channel is free to retry the call.A deferred calling time limit may have been configured. Once the time limit has expired the radio will no longer attempt to retry the call.Any user interaction (such as pressing PTT) will cancel a deferred call.Ack receivedOK
Operating in conventional mode 77 No acknowledgement retriesWhen you send a call and there is no reply, the call is resent.Any user interaction (such as pressing PTT) will cancel a call that is being resent.Transmitting at low powerIf you are using your radio in conditions where signal strength is high, you can reduce the drain on your vehicle battery by transmitting at low power.When low power transmit is turned on, appears on the display and calls are made at low power rather than at the programmed power setting.Some channels may always transmit at low power.To turn low power transmit on or off for all channels:Using the Main Menu1Press Menu and select Radio settings > Functions > Low power tx.2Scroll to On (or Off) and press Select. (The current setting is highlighted.)The message Low power tx activated (or deactivated) appears on the display.Using a function key1Press the function key programmed for low-power transmit to transmit at low power on your current channel.The message Low power tx activated appears briefly, and the low-power transmit icon appears on the display.SelectBackLow power tx Off On
78 Operating in conventional mode 2Press the low-power transmit function key again to turn low-power transmit off, and the message Low power tx deactivated appears on the display.Ending active callsFor analog channels, you may have a function key programmed to either end the current call, or end the current call and all other active calls in your group. This can be done either by:■using the function key programmed for reset mon-itor to end your current call,■using the function key programmed for call clear-down to end your current call and all other calls in your group, or■using the function key programmed for both reset monitor and call cleardown.Using a function key to end your current call■Press the function key programmed for reset mon-itor. The radio’s monitor is turned off, ending your current call.The green LED stops flashing, and the monitor icon disappears from the display.Using a function key to end all active calls■Press the function key programmed for call clear-down and monitor is turned off for all radios in your radio group.The green LED stops flashing, and the monitor icon disappears from the display.Using the function key programmed for reset monitor/call cleardown to end active callsThe function key programmed for reset monitor may be programmed so that a short key press ends your current call, and a long key press ends all active calls in your group.
Operating in conventional mode 79 Using monitor and squelch override (on analog channels)The monitor function allows you to override some or all of the radio’s mutes, and hear if there is any traffic on a channel before you make a call.The squelch override function lets the radio user override the squelch (carrier) mute and hear all noise on a channel, including weak signals that are below the programmed squelch threshold.Your radio may be programmed to activate monitor whenever the microphone is off the microphone clip.To turn monitor on and off:1Press Menu and select Radio settings > Functions > Monitor.(Depending on how your radio is programmed, you may be able to press a function key to toggle monitor on and off.)2Scroll to On (or Off) and press Select.While monitor is on, the green LED flashes slowly and the monitor icon appears in the display.Your radio may be programmed so that monitor turns off automatically after a short time.To turn squelch on and off:1Press Menu and select Radio settings > Functions > Squelch o’ride.Squelch is often programmed as a long keypress of the same function key that turns monitor on and off. 2Scroll to On (or Off) and press Select.This allows you to hear even faint and noisy signals. While squelch override is on, the green LED flashes continually, and the squelch override icon appears on the display.
80 Operating in conventional mode Press the monitor function key again to return the radio to a quiet state.Squelch cannot be overridden when the radio is scanning.Bypassing the repeater (on analog channels)For analog channels, you can bypass the radio repeater and communicate directly with another radio. This feature is known as repeater talkaround. You can do this, for example, when you are out of range of the repeater, or if the repeater is busy or stops working. While repeater talkaround is active, all transmissions are made on the receive frequency of the channel you are on.To activate repeater talkaround, you may be able to either use a programmed function key, or use the Main menu.Using the Main menu1Select the required channel.2Press Menu and select Radio settings > Functions > Talkaround.3In the Talkaround menu, choose On.4Press Select. The message Talkaround activated appears briefly, and the repeater talkaround icon appears on the display.5Proceed with your call.6To turn repeater talkaround off, either change the channel, or choose Off in the Talkaround menu.Using a function key1Select the required channel.
Operating in conventional mode 81 2Press the programmed function key to turn repeater talkaround on. The message Talkaround activated appears briefly, and the repeater talkaround icon appears on the display.3Proceed with your call.4To turn repeater talkaround off, either change the channel, or press the function key again.Receiving a callWhen there is valid activity on your radio’s currently selected channel or group, the radio then unmutes and you can hear the call.If an incoming call contains special signaling that matches the signaling programmed for your radio, the green LED lights up and your radio may give a ringing tone.Using the radio in different repeater areasYour radio may have a group of channels programmed as a voting group. The channels in the voting group all carry the same traffic, but from different repeaters. As your radio moves in and out of different repeater coverage areas, the best communication channel is automatically selected for you to use.This channel is known as the ‘home’ channel, and will be the channel you make and receive calls on. While voting is active, the orange LED glows and the scanning icon appears on the display.The section "Selecting a scan or voting group" on page 52 explains how to select a group. A group can be either a voting or a scanning group.
82 Operating in conventional mode Suspending a channel from a voting groupYou may be able to use the function key programmed for nuisance delete to temporarily delete one of the channels from the voting group. When that voting group is next selected, or after the radio has been turned off and then on, the deleted channel is again part of the voting group.Alternatively, the function key programmed for voting may be programmed so that a short key press turns on voting, and a long key press activates nuisance delete.■Press and hold the function key programmed for voting to remove the current channel from the vot-ing group.If the operation has been successful, the message Channel nuisance deleted appears on the display.Scanning a group of channelsThe scan function is used to monitor a programmed group of channels, looking for activity. While the radio is scanning for activity, the orange LED glows and the scanning icon appears on the display. When activity is detected on a channel in the scan group, the radio stops on that channel. The orange LED begins flashing, the radio unmutes and you can hear the call. Scanning resumes once the channel is no longer busy.The section "Selecting a scan or voting group" on page 52 explains how to activate scanning.
Operating in conventional mode 83 Standard and background scanningThe two types of scanning that may be available on your radio are standard scanning, and background scanning. Background scan can only be activated by using a function key programmed for background scan. It differs from standard scanning in that the channel that was selected when background scan was activated is also included as a scan-group member.Making a call while scanningIf you wish to make a call while your radio is scanning:1Lift the microphone off the microphone clip.2Press the PTT key to transmit. If the orange LED is flashing, or background scan is active, your radio will now call the currently selected channel.3If standard scan is active and there has been no recent activity on the channel (the orange LED is glowing rather than flashing), then the channel that is called depends on the way your radio has been programmed. The possible options are:■your radio calls a predetermined channel e.g. your dispatcher,■your radio calls the channel where activity was last detected, or■your radio calls the last free channel.4When the called party responds, proceed with your conversation.Suspending a channel from a scanning groupIf a member channel of a scan group is busy for a long time and you do not wish to hear the conversation, you may be able to use the function key programmed for nuisance delete to temporarily delete it from the scan group.
84 Operating in conventional mode When the scan group is next selected, or after the radio has been turned off and then on, the deleted channel is again part of the scan group.Alternatively, the function key programmed for scanning may be programmed so that a short key press turns on scanning, and a long key press activates nuisance delete.■Press and hold the function key programmed for scanning to remove the current channel from the scanning group.If the operation has been successful, the message Channel deleted from group appears on the display.Adding or deleting member channels of a groupYour radio may be programmed so you can add or delete channels in a voting or scanning group.

Operating in trunked mode 89 6 Operating in trunked modeThis section explains how your radio operates on a DMR (digital), MPT (analog) or dual-mode trunked network.These features are controlled by software licenses (SFE) and may not be available with your radio.Your radio must have trunking functionality programmed before it can operate in DMR or MPT trunked mode.This section covers:■Checking that your network is available■Changing your network■Making a call using the address book■Making a preset call■About trunked zones and workgroups■About emergency operation■Dialing a PABX number■Dialing a PSTN number■Receiving a call■Re-establishing a call■Checking the queue■About status messages■About trunked text messages■Placing the radio in do-not-disturb mode■Switching to conventional channels or conven-tional groups
90 Operating in trunked mode Checking that your network is availableCheck that the orange LED is glowing and the network icon appears in the display. These are the indications that your radio has access to a trunked network.If the network icon is flashing and No service appears on the display, your radio is attempting to access the trunked network. If this icon remains flashing, your radio may be out of the network coverage area.If Limited service appears on the display, one of the network sites or the connection between the network sites has been interrupted. You can still make calls to radios covered by the same site but not to radios on other sites.Changing your networkYour radio may be programmed to operate in up to four completely separate trunking networks, either DMR (digital), MPT (analog) or both (dual mode). You may wish to change networks because you are out of the network coverage area, or you need to have access to another trunking network. To change your radio’s operating network, you may be able to either use the Main menu or dial the new network using the alphanumeric keys.Changing your radio’s workgroup may also change the network in which you are operating. See "Selecting a workgroup" on page 94.Using the Main menu 1Press Menu and select Change network.SelectBackMain menu Change network Change mode

Zones, if used, typically define geographic areas (towns, suburbs or counties), or branches of an organization. Workgroups span multiple zones, and typically define functions, work areas or job roles.When your radio belongs to a workgroup, it is said to be ‘subscribed’, and you receive all calls directed to that group of users. A group’s members are dynamic, in that a group only contains radios that are currently registered on the system and subscribed to the same group.Your radio may be programmed to use different names for a ‘zone’ and ‘workgroup’. For example, ‘district’ or ‘area’ may be used in place of zone, and ‘role’ or ‘group’ may be used in place of workgroup. 23SendClear

Consult your radio provider for assistance, if necessary.When your radio won’t turn onIf the red, green and orange LEDs on the control head do not light up when the radio is turned on, it is probable that power is not 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 vehi-cle battery or power supply?If all appears to be in order, but your radio still fails to operate properly, contact your radio provider for further assistance.Identifying the radio’s audible tonesThe radio’s audible tones can help you identify a potential problem. See "Audible tones" on page 30.

Firstly, it prevents damage to the microphone socket due to movement of the microphone cord, and secondly, it ensures that the control head is sealed against water, dust, and other environmental hazards.2Repeat to expose another corner.3Pull the exposed corners back and slide the grommet up the cable to reveal the microphone plug.4Remove the plug from the microphone socket.General careYour radio requires no regular maintenance other than ensuring that all the cables and connections are secure, and that no damage has occurred to the antenna or wiring.Notice To prevent permanent damage to the radio cover, do not allow the radio to come into contact with detergents, alcohol, aerosol sprays or petroleum-based products.If you need to clean the radio cover, use a cloth dampened with clean water. Do not immerse the radio in fluids.microphone grommet

No rights are granted to Licensee under this Agreement by implication, estoppel or
Tait Software Licence Agreement 145 otherwise, except for those rights which are expressly granted to Licensee in this Agreement. All Intellectual Property developed, originated, or prepared by Tait in connection with providing the Software, Designated Products, Documentation, or related services, remains vested exclusively in Tait, and Licensee will not have any shared development or other Intellectual Property Rights.SECTION 6 LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY 6.1. The commencement date and the term of the Software warranty will be a period of one (1) year from Tait shipment of the Software. If Licensee is not in breach of any obligations under this Agreement, Tait warrants that the unmodified Software, when used properly and in accordance with the Documentation and this Agreement, will be free from a reproducible defect that eliminates the functionality or successful operation of a feature critical to the primary functionality or successful operation of the Software. Whether a defect has occurred will be determined solely by Tait. Tait does not warrant that Licensee’s use of the Software or the Designated Products will be uninterrupted, error-free, completely free of Security Vulnerabilities, or that the Software or the Designated Products will meet Licensee’s particular requirements. Tait makes no representations or warranties with respect to any third-party software included in the Software. 6.2 Tait sole obligation to Licensee, and Licensee’s exclusive remedy under this warranty, is to use reasonable efforts to remedy any material Software defect covered by this warranty. These efforts will involve either replacing the media or attempting to correct significant, demonstrable program or documentation errors or Security Vulnerabilities. If Tait cannot correct the defect within a reasonable time, then at Tait option, Tait will replace the defective Software with functionally equivalent Software, license to Licensee substitute Software which will accomplish the same objective, or terminate the license and refund Licensee’s paid license fee. If Tait investigation of the perceived defect reveals that no such defect in fact exists, Tait may recover its costs in respect of such investigation from Licensee.6.3. Tait disclaims any and all other warranties relating to the Software or Documentation other than the express warranties set forth in this Section 6. Warranties in Section 6 are in lieu of all other warranties whether express or implied, oral or written, and including without limitation any and all implied warranties of condition, title, non-infringement, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose or use by Licensee (whether Tait knows, has reason to know, has been advised of, or is otherwise aware of any such purpose or use), whether arising by law, by reason of custom or usage of trade, or by course of dealing. In addition, Tait disclaims any warranty to any person other than Licensee with respect to the Software or Documentation.SECTION 7 TRANSFERS7.1. Licensee will not transfer the Software or Documentation to any third party without specific prior written consent from Tait. Tait may withhold such consent or at its own discretion make the consent conditional upon the transferee paying applicable license fees and agreeing to be bound by this Agreement. 7.2. In the case of a value-added reseller or distributor of Tait Designated Products, the consent
146 Tait Software Licence Agreement referred to in Section 7.1 may be contained in a Tait Reseller or Tait Distributor Agreement. 7.3. If the Designated Products are Tait vehicle-mounted mobile products or hand-carried portable radio products and Licensee transfers ownership of the Tait mobile or portable radio products to a third party, Licensee may assign its right to use the Software which is embedded in or furnished for use with the radio products and the related Documentation; provided that Licensee transfers all copies of the Software and Documentation to the transferee.7.4.

Except as stated in the foregoing, Licensee and any transferee(s) authorised by this Section may not otherwise transfer or make available any Tait Software to any third party nor permit any party to do so. Licensee will, on request, make available evidence reasonably satisfactory to Tait demonstrating compliance with all the foregoing.SECTION 8 TERM AND TERMINATION8.1. Licensee’s right to use the Software and Documentation will commence when the Designated Products are supplied by Tait to Licensee and will continue for the life of the Designated Products with which or for which the Software and Documentation are supplied, unless Licensee breaches this Agreement, in which case this Agreement and Licensee's right to use the Software and Documentation may be terminated immediately upon notice by Tait. 8.2.

Licensee acknowledges that Tait made a considerable investment of resources in the development, marketing, and distribution of the Software and Documentation and that Licensee's breach of this Agreement will result in irreparable harm to Tait for which monetary damages would be inadequate.

Licensee shall pay all Tait costs (on an indemnity basis) for the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement.SECTION 9 CONFIDENTIALITY Licensee acknowledges that the Software and Documentation contain proprietary and Confidential Information valuable to Tait and are

THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is entered into solely for the benefit of Tait and Licensee. No third party has the right to make any claim or assert any right under this Agreement, and no third party is deemed a beneficiary of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any licensor or supplier of third-party software included in the Software will be a direct and intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.11.6. SURVIVAL.

SECURITY. Tait uses reasonable means in the design and writing of its own Software and the acquisition of third-party Software in order to limit Security Vulnerabilities.

148 Tait Software Licence Agreement 11.9. EXPORT. Licensee will not transfer, directly or indirectly, any Designated Product, Documentation or Software furnished hereunder or the direct product of such Documentation or Software to any country for which New Zealand or any other applicable country requires an export license or other governmental approval without first obtaining such license or approval.11.10. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any part or parts of this Agreement shall be held illegal or null and void by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not affect the remaining terms which shall remain in full force and effect as if such part or parts held to be illegal or void had not been included in this Agreement. Tait may replace the invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision that achieves the original intent and economic effect of this Agreement.11.11. CONSUMER GUARANTEES. Licensee acknowledges that the licenses supplied in terms of this agreement are supplied to Licensee in business, and that the guarantees and other provisions of prevailing consumer protection legislation shall not apply. 11.12. WHOLE AGREEMENT. Licensee acknowledges that it has read this Agreement, understands it and agrees to be bound by its terms and conditions. Licensee also agrees that, subject only to the express terms of any other agreement between Tait and Licensee to the contrary, this is the complete and exclusive statement of the Agreement between it and Tait in relation to the Software. This Agreement supersedes any proposal or prior agreement, oral or written, and any other communications between Licensee and Tait relating to the Software and the Designated Products.
