For your safety 7
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
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.
It is also important that you:
■Do not remove the RF Exposure label from
the radio.
■Ensure this RF exposure information accompa-
nies 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 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:
8 For your safety
■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 35 inches (0.9 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 modi-
fications to the antenna otherwise you could dam-
age 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.

About DMR digital radios
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 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.

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.
This section covers:
■Checking that your network is available
■Changing your network
■Making a preset call
■About trunked zones and workgroups

Operating in trunked mode 39
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 to
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 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.
Selecting a zone
1Press Menu and select Set zone.
(Depending on how your radio is programmed, you
may be able to use the scroll keys or left selection
key to select a zone.)

About emergency operation
In an emergency you may be able to summon help by
sending an emergency call. 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.
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, or
■use a function key programmed for emergency
mode.
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 40.

you may be able to activate emergency mode using a
hidden switch or panic button. 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.
Emergency mode may be programmed to end
after a fixed period of time. In this case, there is
no need to turn the radio off and then on in order
to return the radio to normal operation.

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 on the display.
The section "Selecting a group" on page 69 explains
how to select a group. A group can be either a voting
or a scanning group.

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 group" on page 69 explains
how to activate scanning.
Operating in conventional mode 85
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:
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.
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.
86 Operating in conventional mode
1Press Menu and select Advanced > Set scan
key.
2In the Set Scan Key menu, scroll through the list of
background scan groups until the group you
want appears.
3Press Select.
The message Scan key scans new group
appears on the display.
The next time you activate background scan, the
new group will be your background scan group.
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.
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.

Troubleshooting 103
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:
Audible tone Meaning
One short,
high-pitched
beep
The radio has been made inoperable
(‘stunned’ or ‘inhibited’) by your
service provider.
Two short
beeps
The radio has been made operable
(‘revived’ or ‘uninhibited’) by your
service provider.
Two low-
pitched beeps
The radio’s temperature is high. (The
radio will continue to operate.)
104 Troubleshooting
Checking the version of your
radio
Your radio provider may ask you for the hardware
and firmware version of your radio, for
troubleshooting purposes.
Using the Main menu
1Press Menu and select Radio info > Version info.
2Scroll to the version information you want to view
and press Select.
Using the PTT key (not with hand-held control
head)
■Hold down the PTT key and turn on the radio.

Troubleshooting 105
Removing the microphone
For information on installing or removing your
radio from a vehicle, refer to the Installation
Guide.
1Using 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.
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.
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 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.
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.

disassemble, extract components,
decompile, reprogram, or otherwise
reduce the Software or any portion
thereof to a human perceptible form or
otherwise attempt to recreate the
source code; (ii) modify, adapt, create
derivative works of, or merge the
Software; (iii) copy, reproduce,
distribute, lend, or lease the Software
or Documentation to any third party;
(iv) grant any sublicense or other rights
in the Software or Documentation to
any third party; (v) take any action that
would cause the Software or
Documentation to be placed in the
public domain; (vi) remove, or in any
way alter or obscure any copyright
notice or other notice of Tait or third-
party 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
Agreement; or (viii) use, or permit the
use of, the Software in a manner that
would result in the production of a copy
of the Software by any means
whatsoever other than what is
permitted in this Agreement. Licensee
may make one copy of the Software to
be used solely for archival, back-up, or
disaster recovery purposes; provided
that Licensee may not operate that
copy of the Software at the same time
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
will not enable or allow any third party
to: (i) install a copy of the Software on
more than one unit of a Designated
Product; or (ii) copy or transfer

Designated Product to any other
device. Licensee may temporarily
transfer Software installed on a
Designated Product to another device
if the Designated Product is inoperable
or malfunctioning. Temporary transfer
of the Software to another device must
be discontinued when the original
Designated Product is returned to
operation and the Software must be
removed from the other device.
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
this Agreement. Tait, or a third party
nominated by Tait, may inspect
Licensee’s premises, books and
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
110 Tait Software Licence Agreement
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 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 111
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.
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

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

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 non-
embedded Software and associated
Documentation. Licensee shall pay all
Tait costs (on an indemnity basis) for
the enforcement of the terms of this
Agreement.

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

option of Tait to the repair or
replacement of the Software or the
refund of the purchase price of the
Software.
SECTION 11 GENERAL

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.

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.

Agreement between the parties, the
parties agree that, with respect to the
specific subject matter of this
Agreement, this Agreement prevails.

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

if a Security Vulnerability is
discovered, Tait will take the steps
specified in Section 6 of this
Agreement.

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
