28 Getting started3 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 features■Navigating the radio’s menus■Using the alphanumeric keys to search a list
Getting started 29About your DMR digital radioYour 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 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 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.

Operating in trunked mode 51About trunked zones and workgroupsTrunked 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 zone1Select Menu > Set zone.(Depending on how your radio is programmed, you may be able to use the scroll keys, left selection key or channel selector to select a zone.)2In the Set Zone menu, scroll through the list of zones until the zone you want appears.3Press Select.4Check that the network icon appears in the display.SelectBackMain menu Set zone Set workgroup

Operating in conventional mode 97Using 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, 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 scanning icon appears in the display.The section “Selecting a group” on page 79 explains how to select a group. A group can be either a voting or a scanning group.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 voting group.If the operation has been successful, the message Channel deleted from group appears in the display.
98 Operating in conventional modeScanning 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 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 79 explains how to activate scanning.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
Operating in conventional mode 99— 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 keyYou can change the background scan group assigned to the function key programmed for group scanning or for scanning/nuisance delete.1Select Menu > 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 in the display.The next time you activate background scan, the new group will be your background scan group.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.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.SelectBackAdvanced Set scan key Program groups

Charging and caring for batteries 1099 Charging and caring for batteriesThis section describes how to charge your Tait radio battery as well as care for it, to ensure safe operation, maximum performance and prolonged battery life. This section covers:■About the chargers■Before using the charger■Charging the battery■Maintaining battery life and performance■Storing batteries■Disposing of batteries
110 Charging and caring for batteriesAbout the chargersUnless otherwise indicated, the charging advice and instructions in this chapter apply to all chargers.There are three types of charger available for your Tait radio battery:■Desktop charger: Small enough to fit on a desk, it charges one battery at a time.■Multicharger: Charges up to six batteries. It can be mounted on a desk, on a wall, or in an equipment rack.■Vehicle charger: Charges one battery at a time while installed in a vehicle. Multicharger safety informationWarning This device must be connected to an earthed mains socket-outlet.
Charging and caring for batteries 111Before using the chargerHandle the battery safelyWarning Handle the battery safely. Failure to observe the following handling recommendations could result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.■Before using a Li-ion battery, please read the Li-ion Battery Safety Information (MPC-00006-xx) included with your battery, and follow the instructions it provides. Incorrect use of a Li-ion battery can cause explosion or fire.■Do not short-circuit the battery contacts, neither intentionally nor accidentally, e.g. by placing the battery with conductive materials such as keys or jewelry inside a pocket or container. Short-circuiting the battery contacts can heat up the conductive material.Attaching of labelsWarning Do not obstruct the vent hole on the battery or the vent hole on the radio chassis label. If the vent on the battery is obstructed the battery may explode, causing personal injury and/ or damage to property. If the vent on the radio is obstructed, audio quality and/or key function may deteriorate and radio seals may be damaged.For detailed information about attaching labels safely, see “Attaching labels to the radio or battery” on page 24.
112 Charging and caring for batteriesCharging temperaturesNotice Do not expose a battery to very high or very low temperatures for extended periods of time. Doing so will shorten the usable life (‘service life’) of the battery.To achieve the best results when charging your battery:■Before you begin to charge your battery, make sure that the battery temperature is close to the room temperature in which the battery is to be charged.■If possible, charge the battery in temperatures between 50 °F and 77 °F (between 10 °C and 25 °C). This temperature range is the optimal charging range.Charging only starts when the battery is between 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C).Temperature indicationsWhen the battery temperature is outside the normal charging range, the orange LED on the charger is lit. Charging will start or resume once the temperature is within normal limits, and no action is required by you.Leaving the battery on chargeYou can leave a battery/radio in the charger once charging is complete. Leaving a battery in the charger will not overcharge or damage it.You can remove a battery/radio from the charger at any time without harming the battery, the radio, or the charger. When you return the battery/radio to the charger, charging is automatically resumed. Vehicle charger onlyIt is safe to switch off the ignition while there is still a battery in the charger. However, if the vehicle will not be used again for some time, check whether charging will 77 °F25 °C50°F10 °C
Charging and caring for batteries 113continue while the ignition is off, and consider what effect this might have on the vehicle battery.To check, place the battery in the charger, and switch off the vehicle ignition:■If no charger LED stays lit, the charger will resume charging only when the ignition is switched on again. Minimal charger standby power will be drawn from the vehicle battery until then.■If a charger LED stays lit, the charger will continue to charge the radio battery even while the ignition is off, and will continue to draw power from the vehicle battery. Once the battery is charged, the charger draws minimal current and has little effect on a healthy vehicle battery.Receiving and making calls while chargingApplies to desktop charger and multicharger only. Notice For best charging performance, switch off the radio before placing it in the charger.You can receive or make a call while the radio is in the charger, but your radio performance may be degraded. If you do remove the radio from the charger to answer a call, the call will not be disrupted.Removing the radio from the charger to make or receive a call ends the charging process. Charging safely recommences when the radio is reinserted into the charger.If a radio was turned on while being charged, the battery indicator may not be accurate when the radio is initially removed from the charger. After a few seconds, the battery indicator is updated to display the amount of charge available in the battery.
114 Charging and caring for batteriesLow battery warningNotice Do not allow a radio battery to fully discharge every time you use it, or you will shorten the service life of the battery.When the battery is low, your radio warns you in the following ways:■The battery icon on the radio display looks empty.■The status LED on the radio slowly flashes red.■A high-pitched beep sounds.You should recharge or replace the battery as soon as possible. When the battery is completely empty, the message Battery is flat appears on the display. The radio emits a long, low-pitched beep and then stops working. Turn off the radio immediately.
Charging and caring for batteries 115Charging the batteryFully charge a battery before using it for the first time. This will take up to 2.5 hours.The red LED stays lit while the battery charges.To charge the battery:1Desktop charger: Connect the charger to the correct Tait power adaptor.Multicharger and vehicle charger: Power on the charger.Initially, all three LEDs are lit for two seconds.2Place just a battery in the charger, or a radio with a battery attached (desktop charger or multicharger only). There is no need to remove a belt clip, antenna, or any accessory that is attached to the accessory connector.The red LED lights up, and stays lit while the battery charges. For a battery that is almost completely discharged, allow two hours.When charging is complete, the green LED stays lit.
116 Charging and caring for batteriesLED behaviorIf there is a battery in the charger when power is supplied to the charger, the LEDs behave as follows:If the charger does not behave as expected:■Make sure the radio or battery is seated properly in the charger.■Check that the charger is properly plugged in.■Check that the battery and charger contacts are clean. To clean, wipe the contacts with a dry lint-free cloth to remove any dirt, oil or grease.LED Meaning brieflyThe charger has been connected to a power supply. steadyThe battery is charging. steadyCharging complete. Remove the battery, or leave it in the charger. steady■The battery temperature is outside the normal charging range. Charging will start or resume once the temperature is within normal limits.
