For your safety
Before using your radio, please read the following
important safety and compliance information.
Intrinsically Safe and Non-Incendive
radios and accessories
Intrinsically Safe (IS) and Non-Incendive (NI) radios and
accessories are certified by a third party to be safe to use
in particular hazardous locations, or in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
Warning Explosion hazard! IS/NI certification applies
only while the product is used in accordance with these
instructions.
Warning Explosion hazard! Ensure that the ratings
printed on a label on the equipment will permit your IS/NI
radio and accessories to be used in your hazardous
location. Refer also to "Rating matching" on page 14.
Warning Explosion hazard! Use only a Tait-supplied,
IS/NI-approved battery, charger, antenna, audio
accessory, carry accessory or programming adapter with
an IS/NI radio. Fitting a battery or accessory that is not IS/
NI-approved, using a charger that is not IS/NI-approved,
or failing to use the IS/NI programming adapter, creates a
risk of explosion which could cause serious injury or
death. For an up-to-date list of approved accessories,
contact your regional Tait office.
Warning Explosion hazard! Do not charge the
battery, or change the antenna, in a hazardous location.
An explosion could cause serious injury or death.
Warning Explosion hazard! You must use a battery
carry case when carrying a spare battery into a hazardous
area.
For your safety
IS/NI radios, batteries, antennas and accessories must
not be engraved or modified in any way. Do not use the
radio, battery or accessory if it is cracked or damaged. Do
not use the antenna if the sheathing is split or the end cap
is missing. Do not expose the radio to solvents. IS/NI
radios and accessories must be serviced only by an
agency certified by both the approval authority and by Tait
Limited. Any unauthorized repair or substitution of parts
invalidates the IS/NI rating and the third party IS/NI
approval. To have an IS/NI radio serviced, return it to your
regional Tait office.

For your safety
13
Equipment repair
Warning Explosion hazard! IS/NI radios and
accessories are not user-serviceable. IS and NI radios
and accessories must be serviced only by an agency
certified by both the approval authority and by Tait Limited.
Any unauthorized repair or substitution of parts invalidates
the intrinsic safety or non-incendive rating and the third
party IS or NI approval. To have an IS and NI radio
serviced, return it to your regional Tait office.
Rating matching
The rating of the radio, battery and accessories must be
reviewed to ensure a safe IS/NI radio system. IS/NI
ratings must be “matched”, and the lowest approval level
determines the overall IS/NI radio system approval.
Equipment labels clearly identify the item’s ratings.
Zone ratings
■ Use only Gas Group IIC batteries with Gas Group IIC
radios.
Use only Gas Group IIA batteries with Gas Group IIA
radios.
■ Gas Group IIC rated accessories may be used with
IIA radios, but the combination may only be used in a
IIA Gas atmosphere.
■ Gas Group IIC and Dust Group IIIC rated accessories
may be used with Gas Group IIC or IIA radios, but the
combination may only be used in a gas atmosphere.
■ Gas Group IIC rated radios and accessories may be
used in Gas Group IIB or IIA areas.
■ Zone 1 rated radios and accessories may be used in
Zone 2 areas.
■ Any item approved to Gas Group IIA will limit the
radio system to a Gas Group IIA area. For use in a
Gas Group IIC area, all items must be approved to
Gas Group IIC.
14
For your safety
Division ratings
■ Use only Group D battery with Group D radios.
Use only Group A, B, C, D battery with Group A, B, C, D
radios.
■ Gas Class I and Dust Class II and Class III rated
accessories may be used with Gas Class I radios, but
the combination may only be used in a Gas Class I
hazardous (classified) location.
■ Division 2 rated radios and accessories may only be
used in Division 2 or Zone 2 hazardous (classified)
locations.
■ Division 2, Group A radios and accessories may be
used in Division 2, Group B, C, or D areas.
■ Any item approved to Group D will limit the radio sys-
tem to Group D areas. For use in a Group A area, all
items must be approved to Group A.
Temperature class
Different ambient temperature ranges apply for the T3
and T4 temperature classes. The item with the most
restrictive temperature range will determine the allowed
temperature range of the radio system. T4-rated radios
and accessories can be used in T3 areas, within the rules
stated above.

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
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.
■ When listening and talking on the radio, hold it upright
in front of your face so that it is at least one inch
(2.5 cm) away from any part of your face. Keeping the
radio at the recommended distance is important
18
For your safety
because exposure to RF decreases rapidly the further
away the antenna is from your body.
■ Keep the antenna at least one inch (2.5 cm) from your
face at all times.
■ If you wear your radio, you must always put it in a car-
rying accessory that has been specifically approved
by Tait for this radio. Using non-approved body-worn
accessories may mean you expose yourself to higher
levels of RF than recommended by the FCC’s occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.
■ Ensure you only use Tait-approved antennas, batter-
ies, and accessories.
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.

NI-approved battery, charger, antenna, audio
accessory, carry accessory or programming adapter
with an IS and NI radio. Fitting a battery or accessory
that is not IS and NI-approved, using a charger that is
not IS and NI-approved, or failing to use the IS and NI
programming adapter, creates a risk of explosion
which could cause serious injury or death. For an upto-date list of approved accessories, contact your
regional Tait office. For detailed information about IS
and NI radios and how to identify them, see
"Intrinsically Safe and Non-Incendive radios and

About your DMR digital radio
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.
Getting started
39
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.

Radio controls and keypress tones—the tones
and beeps you hear when you press your radio’s
keys or use the controls.
■
Incoming call tone—when the radio is receiving
a call.
■
Warning tones—when there is an error, or the battery is low, for example.
Warning If quiet or silent mode is turned on, you will
not hear any alert tones.
Some of the more common audible tones are

Pairing a wireless headset with the radio
Before attempting to connect a wireless
headset, Tait recommends that the headset is
fully charged. Refer to the headset installation
instructions for charging instructions.
Pairing creates a unique and encrypted wireless link
between the Bluetooth-capable radio, and the
Bluetooth headset. To use a headset with your radio,
the devices must first be paired.
When you connect to a wireless headset for the first
time, you need to instruct the radio to search for
compatible headsets using Bluetooth wireless
technology. The search should take less than one
minute.
To pair a wireless headset with the radio:
1 Turn on the radio.
2 Put the wireless headset into pairing mode.
Refer to the headset installation instructions for
instructions on how to do this.

Understanding talkgroups
This feature is available for DMR digital channels only.
A talkgroup is a collection of radio users with whom
you want to have private conversations. For example,
a state's public safety agencies could have the
following talkgroups:
■
Local talkgroups—used by a specific agency to
communicate within their own local agency. It may
even be made up of a county of public safety officers.
■
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.
74
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

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 message Transmit Timeout Imminent appears
on 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.
96
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 extend the shift life of your
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 Menu
1 Press Menu and select Radio settings >
Functions > Low power tx.
2 Scroll to On (or Off) and press Select. (The current
setting is highlighted.)

Ending active calls
For 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 monitor to end your current call,
■
using the function key programmed for call cleardown 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 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.
To turn monitor on and off:
1 Press 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.)
2 Scroll to On (or Off) and press Select.
While monitor is on, the LED slowly flashes green
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:
1 Press 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.
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 LED
flashes green, and the squelch override icon
appears on the display.
Press the monitor function key again to return
the radio to a quiet state.
Operating in conventional mode
99
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 menu
1 Select the required channel.
2 Press Menu and select Radio settings >
Functions > Talkaround.
3 In the Talkaround menu, choose On.
4 Press Select. The message Talkaround
activated appears briefly, and the repeater
talkaround icon
appears on the display.
5 Proceed with your call.
6 To turn repeater talkaround off, either change the
channel, or choose Off in the Talkaround menu.
Using a function key
1 Select the required channel.
2 Press the programmed function key to turn
repeater talkaround on. The message Talkaround
activated appears briefly, and the repeater
talkaround icon
appears on the display.

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
LED lights up green 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 scanning icon
appears on the
display.
The section "Selecting a scan or voting group" on
page 72 explains how to select a group. A group can
be either a voting or a scanning group.
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.
Operating in conventional mode
101
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

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 scanning icon
appears
on the display. When activity is detected on a channel
in the scan group, the radio stops on that channel. 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 72 explains how to activate scanning.
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:
102
Operating in conventional mode
1 Press the PTT key to transmit. If background scan
is active, your radio will now call the currently
selected channel.
2 If standard scan is active and there has been no
recent activity on the channel, 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.
3 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.
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.

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 flashing and the
network icon
appears on 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.
See "Selecting a workgroup" on page 113.

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.

While you may be able to view your location
information on analog channels, sending location
information is only available for digital channels.
If your radio is connected to the receiver of a satellite
navigation system, you can view location information
such as latitude and longitude, true course, speed,
and coordinated universal time. Your radio can also
display universal transverse mercator (UTM)
information such as the UTM zone, and northing and
easting coordinates.
Your radio may also be set up to send or receive and

Loneworker monitoring is a safety feature for people
who work alone. Loneworker monitoring may be
programmed to be on or off at all times, or can be
switched on and off by the user using a programmed
function key or the menu.
A loneworker alarm is activated if for a predetermined
period of time:
■
the radio has been tilted by more than 60 degrees
(man down)
■
the radio has not moved
■
there has been no user activity
Your radio may be programmed to respond to a
combination of these events.
When the predetermined time has expired, an audible
warning is given and you have a predetermined time
to respond to the loneworker situation.
If you are unable to respond, the radio either enters
emergency mode or (in trunked mode) sends a status
update to a predetermined person or talkgroup.

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.)

Special conditions when using
IS/NI radios
Intrinsically safe (IS) and non-incendive (NI) radios
and accessories are certified by a third party to be
safe to use in particular hazardous locations, or in
potentially explosive atmospheres.
Warning Explosion hazard! Use only a Taitsupplied, IS/NI approved battery and charger with an
IS/NI radio. Fitting a battery or using a charger that is
not IS/NI-approved creates a risk of explosion which
could cause serious injury or death. For an up-to-date
list of approved accessories, contact your regional Tait
office.
Warning Explosion hazard! Do not charge the
battery in a hazardous location. An explosion could
cause serious injury or death.
For detailed information about IS/NI radios and
accessories, refer to the Safety and Compliance
Information provided with the radio:
158
■
MPD-00013-xx for TP9300 and TP9400 with
ATEX and IECEx certification
■
MPD-00027-xx for TP9300 and TP9400 with AEx,
Ex, and non-incendive certification.
Charging and caring for batteries
Before using the charger
Check the battery label and charger label to see if the
charger is compatible with the battery. See also
"About the chargers" on page 157.
Warning 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, read the Li-ion Battery Safety Information (MPD-00024-xx for IS-batteries and MPC-00006-xx for non-IS batteries)
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.
■
Do not obstruct the vent hole(s) on the battery.
If the vent on the battery is obstructed the battery
may explode, causing personal injury and/or
equipment damage. If the vent on the radio is
obstructed, audio quality and/or key function may
deteriorate and radio seals may be damaged.
Notice Turn the radio off before removing the battery,
and turn it on again after attaching the battery. This
ensures that the radio powers down and up correctly.
Failing to follow this procedure may require the radio
to be turned off then on again to operate correctly.
Charging and caring for batteries
159
Charging temperatures
Notice 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.
77 °F
25 °C
50 °F
10 °C
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).
When 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 charge
You 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.
160
Charging and caring for batteries
Vehicle chargers only
It is safe to switch off the ignition while there is still a
battery in the charger. But if the vehicle will not be
used again for some time, check whether charging will
continue 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 calls while charging
(not for battery-only vehicle
charger)
Notice For best charging performance, switch off the
radio before placing it in the charger.
You can receive 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.
Charging and caring for batteries
161
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.
Low battery warning
Notice 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 symbol 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.
162
Charging and caring for batteries
Inserting the radio into the
vehicle charger
1 Place the radio in the charger with the battery
attached.
Warning When the portable radio is used inside a
vehicle, radio performance is degraded. Use a mobile
radio for all critical communications. If the portable
radio must be left switched on while it is in the charger,
removing the radio from the charger will improve radio
performance. Check your local regulations about
using a portable radio in a vehicle.
2 Firmly press the retention release
bar
bar towards the radio.
If the larger battery
(such as the IS/NI battery)
is attached to the radio,
there will be an audible

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,
176
Tait Software Licence Agreement
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
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
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
copies of the Software and
Documentation have been returned to
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 Software Licence Agreement
177
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.
178
Tait Software Licence Agreement
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.
11.7. ORDER OF PRECEDENCE. In
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.
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.

read this Agreement, understands it
and agrees to be bound by its terms

that, subject only to the express terms
of any other agreement between Tait

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.
