For your safety
Before using your radio, please read the following
important safety and compliance information.
Radio frequency exposure information
For 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 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.
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 energy
Warning 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
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 distance 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 statement
The 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.

Your 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 noise
On 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.
Coverage
With 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.

What you hear on an analog channel
On 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
■
squelch
Signaling mute
The 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.
Squelch
The 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.

23
About the radio controls
The 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.

■
Regional talkgroups—used by large state agencies that have regional divisions.
■
Statewide talkgroups—used by an agency to communicate with public safety members in other
regions. Statewide talkgroups, as their name suggests, enable public safety agencies to communicate with each other from one end of the state to
the other.
■
Special event talkgroups—may be used to manage emergencies encompassing a large area, or
even events such as visits by heads of state.
Talkgroups can be assigned to each channel, to allow
a users to:
■
initiate a call to a talkgroup by pressing PTT
■
listen and respond to conversations on none, one
or multiple talkgroups
The channel may be named to reflect its talkgroup
association. When making a call, the talkgroup name
will appear.
Your radio may also be programmed to show the
Talkgroups menu which allows you to change the
talkgroup you want to call and listen to on the current
channel.

Operating in conventional mode
Making a call
The 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 radios
If 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.
Operating in conventional mode
55
To make a call:
1 Select the required channel or scan group.
You may need to select the zone you want first,
then select the channel or group from that zone.
2 On channels programmed for DMR or analog calls
between radios (without a radio network): Check
that the channel is clear. If the green LED is
glowing, the channel is busy and you may not be
able to transmit.
3 Lift the microphone off the microphone clip.
4 Hold the microphone about 2 inches (5 cm) from
your mouth.
5 Press and hold the PTT key to transmit.
6 On a DMR channel: Wait for the go-ahead doublebeep (if programmed).
7 Speak 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 icon
appears on the display.
You cannot change channels while
transmitting.
Limiting call time
Your radio may limit the amount of time you can talk
(transmit) continuously. This is known as the ‘transmit
timer’ or ‘time-out timer’ and allows other radio users
to make calls on that channel.
The radio warns you before the transmit timer expires
by beeping three times. The red status LED flashes
and the message Transmit timeout imminent
appears in the display.
If the transmit timer has timed out, you must release
the PTT before you can transmit again.
Your radio may be unable to transmit for a short
time after the transmit timer has expired.

Resending calls automatically
On an analog channel, your radio may have been
programmed to resend individual and group calls
when transmission is refused because the channel is
busy.
There are two automatic callback features:
■
deferred calling
■
no acknowledgement retries
Deferred calling
When you attempt to make a call on a channel that is
busy, the radio can store and send the call once the
channel is free. 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.
76
Operating in conventional mode
No acknowledgement retries
When 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 power
If 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:

Functions > Squelch o’ride.
Squelch is often programmed as a long
keypress of the same function key that turns
monitor on and off.
2 Scroll 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.

appears on the display.
3 Proceed with your call.
4 To turn repeater talkaround off, either change the
channel, or press the function key again.
Receiving a call
When 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 areas
Your 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.
Operating in conventional mode
81
Suspending a channel from a voting group
You 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 voting group.
If the operation has been successful, the message
Channel nuisance deleted appears on the
display.
Scanning a group of channels
The 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.
82
Operating in conventional mode
Standard and background scanning
The 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 scanning
If you wish to make a call while your radio is scanning:
1 Lift the microphone off the microphone clip.
2 Press 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.
3 If 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.
4 When the called party responds, proceed with
your conversation.
Suspending a channel from a scanning group
If 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.
Operating in conventional mode
83
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.

Operating in trunked
mode
This 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.

Checking that your network is
available
Check 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 network
Your 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.

About trunked zones and
workgroups
Trunked zones and workgroups are used to manage
the calls on the trunked system. 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.

About encryption
The encryption feature is available for digital and
dual-mode networks only.
To make communications with other users on your
system completely private, your radio may be able to
encrypt outgoing calls, using a confidential encryption
key. The radio receiving your call must have the same
encryption key installed before it can hear your
encrypted call.
Encrypting calls
Your radio may be able to turn encryption on and off.
While encryption is on, your outgoing calls are
encrypted on networks programmed for encryption,
and the encryption icon remains in the display.
This setting only affects outgoing calls. Incoming calls
will still be decoded by your radio so long as the key
required to decode the call is stored in your radio.
To turn encryption on or off:
1 Press Menu and select Security > Encryption.
(Depending on how your radio is programmed, you
may be able to press a function key to turn
encryption on and off.)

About troubleshooting
If you are experiencing difficulty operating your radio,
you may find the following sections helpful. Consult
your radio provider for assistance, if necessary.
When your radio won’t turn on
If 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 vehicle 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
tones
The radio’s audible tones can help you identify a
potential problem. See "Audible tones" on page 30.
138
Troubleshooting
Viewing radio information
Your radio provider may ask you for the hardware
and firmware version of your radio, for
troubleshooting purposes.

Removing the microphone
For information on installing or removing your
radio from a vehicle, refer to the Installation
Guide.
1 Using your thumb or forefinger, lift up one of the
corners of the microphone grommet and firmly (but
gently) pull that corner until the seal comes away
from the cavity.
microphone
grommet
Notice Remove the grommet carefully as it serves
two important functions. 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.
2 Repeat to expose another corner.
3 Pull the exposed corners back and slide the
grommet up the cable to reveal the microphone
plug.
4 Remove the plug from the microphone socket.
General care
Your 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 petroleumbased products.
If you need to clean the radio cover, use a cloth
dampened with clean water. Do not immerse the radio
in fluids.

USE
4.1. Licensee may use the Software
only for Licensee's internal business

the Documentation. Any other use of
the Software is strictly prohibited.
Without limiting the general nature of
these restrictions, Licensee will not

notice or other notice of Tait or thirdparty licensor’s proprietary rights; (vii)
provide, copy, transmit, disclose,
divulge or make the Software or
Documentation available to, or permit
the use of the Software by, any third
party or on any machine except as
expressly authorized by this

be used solely for archival, back-up, or
disaster recovery purposes; provided
that Licensee may not operate that

as the original Software is being
operated. Licensee may make as
many copies of the Documentation as
it may reasonably require for the
internal use of the Software.
4.3. Unless otherwise authorized by
Tait in writing, Licensee will not, and

Tait Software Licence Agreement
will not enable or allow any third party
to: (i) install a copy of the Software on
more than one unit of a Designated

4.4. Licensee will maintain, during the
term of this Agreement and for a
period of two years thereafter,
accurate records relating to this
license grant to verify compliance with

records, upon reasonable prior notice
to Licensee, during Licensee’s normal
business hours and subject to
Licensee's facility and security
regulations. Tait is responsible for the
payment of all expenses and costs of
the inspection, provided that Licensee
shall indemnify Tait for all costs
(including audit costs and legal costs
on a solicitor client basis) if Licensee
has breached the terms of this
Agreement. Any information obtained
by Tait during the course of the
inspection will be kept in strict
confidence by Tait and used solely for
the purpose of verifying Licensee's
compliance with the terms of this
Agreement.
SECTION 5 OWNERSHIP AND
TITLE
Tait, its licensors, and its suppliers
retain all of their Intellectual Property
Rights in and to the Software and
Documentation, in any form. No rights
are granted to Licensee under this
Agreement by implication, estoppel or
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, noninfringement, 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 TRANSFERS
7.1. 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
Tait Software Licence Agreement
145
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. For the avoidance of any doubt,
Section 7.3 excludes TaitNet
Infrastructure, or the products listed at
any time under network products at:
http://www.taitradio.com.
7.5. If Licensee, as a contractor or
subcontractor (integrator), is
purchasing Tait Designated Products
and licensing Software not for its own
internal use but for end use only by a
Customer, the Licensee may transfer
such Software, but only if a) Licensee
transfers all copies of such Software
and the related Documentation to the
transferee and b) Licensee has first
obtained from its Customer (and, if
Licensee is acting as a subcontractor,
from the interim transferee(s) and from
the ultimate end user sub license) an
enforceable sublicense agreement
that prohibits any other transfer and
that contains restrictions substantially
identical to the terms set forth in this
Software License Agreement. 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.
146
Tait Software Licence Agreement
SECTION 8 TERM AND
TERMINATION
8.1. 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. Within thirty (30) days after
termination of this Agreement,
Licensee must certify in writing to Tait
that all copies of the Software have
been removed or deleted from the
Designated Products and that all

Tait or destroyed by Licensee and are
no longer in use by Licensee.
8.3. 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. If Licensee breaches this
Agreement, Tait may terminate this
Agreement and be entitled to all
available remedies at law or in equity
including immediate injunctive relief
and repossession of all nonembedded Software and associated
Documentation. 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
Tait trade secrets, and Licensee
agrees to respect the confidentiality of
the information contained in the
Software and Documentation.
SECTION 10 LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY
10.1. In no circumstances shall Tait be
under any liability to Licensee, or any
other person whatsoever, whether in
Tort (including negligence), Contract
(except as expressly provided in this
Agreement), Equity, under any
Statute, or otherwise at law for any
losses or damages whether general,
special, exemplary, punitive, direct,
indirect, or consequential arising out of
or in connection with any use or
inability of using the Software.
10.2. Licensee’s sole remedy against
Tait will be limited to breach of contract
and Tait sole and total liability for any
such claim shall be limited at the
option of Tait to the repair or
replacement of the Software or the
refund of the purchase price of the
Software.
SECTION 11 GENERAL
11.1. COPYRIGHT NOTICES. The
existence of a copyright notice on the
Software will not be construed as an
admission or presumption of
publication of the Software or public
disclosure of any trade secrets
associated with the Software.
11.2. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
Licensee acknowledges that the
Software may be subject to the laws
and regulations of the jurisdiction
covering the supply of the Designated
Products and will comply with all
applicable laws and regulations,
including export laws and regulations,
of that country.
11.3. ASSIGNMENTS AND
SUBCONTRACTING. Tait may assign
its rights or subcontract its obligations
under this Agreement, or encumber or
sell its rights in any Software, without
prior notice to, or consent of, Licensee.
11.4. GOVERNING LAW. This
Agreement shall be subject to and
construed in accordance with New
Zealand law and disputes between the
parties concerning the provisions
hereof shall be determined by the New
Zealand Courts of Law. Provided
however Tait may at its election bring
proceedings for breach of the terms
hereof or for the enforcement of any
judgment in relation to a breach of the
terms hereof in any jurisdiction Tait
considers fit for the purpose of
ensuring compliance with the terms
hereof or obtaining relief for breach of
the terms hereof.
11.5. 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. Sections 4, 5, 6.3, 7,
8, 9, 10, and 11 survive the termination
of this Agreement.

the event of inconsistencies between
this Agreement and any other
Agreement between the parties, the
parties agree that, with respect to the
specific subject matter of this
Agreement, this Agreement prevails.
11.8. 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.
While no software can be guaranteed
to be free from Security Vulnerabilities,
if a Security Vulnerability is
discovered, Tait will take the steps
specified in Section 6 of this
Agreement.
Tait Software Licence Agreement
147
11.9. EXPORT. Licensee will not
transfer, directly or indirectly, any
Designated Product, Documentation

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
