Related documentation The following documentation is also available for your Tait radio, which you can access from the Tait Technical Support website (http://support.taitradio.com): ■ Safety and Compliance Information—supplied with each radio. (The same information is included in this user’s guide.) About this guide 19 20 ■ Installation Guide—covers installing TM9300 mobile radios, microphones, antennas, emergency switches, and external alert devices. ■ Accessory installation instructions—may be supplied with an accessory. About this guide 1 Getting started This 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 features ■ Navigating the radio’s menus ■ Using the alphanumeric keys to search a list Getting started 21 About your DMR digital radio Your digital radio may be programmed for DMR (digital) trunking, MPT (analog) trunking, or both (dual mode). Dual mode networks are able to receive both digital and analog calls. Fully-featured conventional analog operation is also available. You may notice differences between analog and digital 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 analog networks, the background noise in a call gets progressively worse when you are in fringe areas or even slightly outside normal coverage areas. 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. 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. 22 Getting started PTT key (press-to-talk) microphone display radio status LEDs green re orange speaker on/off key volume control microphone socket emergency scroll key keys left selection key function keys 1 to 4 right selection key Getting started 23 Name PTT key Function Press and hold to transmit and release to listen Volume control Rotate to change the speaker volume On/off key Turn the radio on or off with a long press Left and right selection keys Action determined by the text above the selection key Scroll keys Scroll up and down through a list of menu options, scroll left and right in messages, or select the Quick Access menu Emergency key Activates emergency mode Function keys Programmed for frequently used options About the keypad microphone Your radio may have a keypad microphone installed.

While the call is being setup, you can cancel the call by pressing Clear. About trunked zones and workgroups Trunked zones and workgroups are used to manage the calls on the trunked system. Zones 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. 42 Operating in trunked mode 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. Selecting a zone 1 Select Menu > Set zone. Main menu Set zone Set workgroup Back Select (Depending on how your radio is programmed, you may be able to use the scroll keys or left selection key to select a zone.) 2 In the Set Zone menu, scroll through the list of zones until the zone you want appears. 3 Press Select. 4 Check that orange LED is glowing and the network icon appears in the display.

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, until a better communications channel is selected. 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 in the display. The section "Selecting a group" on page 68 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 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 deleted from group appears in 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 in 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 group" on page 68 explains how to activate scanning. Operating in conventional mode 83 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. Changing the background scan group assigned to a function key You can change the background scan group assigned to the function key programmed for group scanning or for scanning/nuisance delete. 84 Operating in conventional mode 1 Select Menu > Advanced > Set scan key.
