8 For your safety
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:
For your safety 9
■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 because exposure to RF decreases rap-
idly 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
carrying 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 recom-
mended by the FCC’s occupational/controlled
environment RF exposure limits.
■Ensure you only use Tait-approved antennas, bat-
teries, 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.

can cause personal injury and/or damage to property.
Read the important safety information included with
your battery.
Attaching labels to the radio or
battery
Warning Do not cover the battery vent hole or the
vent hole on the radio chassis. 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.
Notice Tait recommends that you do not affix
additional labels to the surfaces between the radio
chassis and the battery. The fit between these
surfaces is intentionally firm and any added thickness
will damage the points of attachment between radio
and battery.
24 Before using your radio
Attaching a label to the front panel
If a customer requires an additional label, attach the
label in the spare label recess in the bottom edge of
the radio front panel. In this position, the label is still
visible while the battery is attached to the radio.
The diagram below shows the specified dimensions of
the label.
Charging the battery before first
use
Before using your battery for the first time, you must
charge it. Follow the instructions included with your
Tait charger. This information is repeated in the
section "Charging and caring for batteries" on
page 119.
For best charging performance, switch off the
radio before placing it in the charger.

2Slide the battery catch up.
3From the sides, pull the battery away from the
radio.
26 Before using your radio
Attaching the antenna
Before using the radio, screw the antenna clockwise
into the antenna connector. The antenna should be
screwed sufficiently tight so that it doesn’t unscrew
easily. This is important as it creates a seal.
Removing the antenna
Use a firm grip and turn the antenna counterclockwise
half a turn. Use a lighter grip to fully unscrew the
antenna, and carefully remove it.
Attaching a belt clip
To attach a belt clip to the radio:
1Slide the belt clip into the two grooves at the top of
the battery.
2Press down on the belt clip until it snaps into place.
Removing a belt clip
The belt clip has been designed to prevent accidental
removal, but you can take it off, if required.
To remove a belt clip from a battery:
1Insert a flat screwdriver blade or similar flat object
under the lip of the release lock (that is, between it
and the metal slider).
2Lift the release lock up (away from the metal slider)
and hold it in position.
3Slide the belt clip out.
Before using your radio 27
Installing an audio accessory

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.

communicate within their own local agency. It may
even be made up of a county of public safety offi-
cers.
■Regional talkgroups—used by large state agen-
cies that have regional divisions.
■Statewide talkgroups—used by an agency to com-
municate with a public safety member in another
region. Statewide talkgroups, as their name sug-
gests, enable public safety agencies to communi-
cate with each other from one end of the state to
the other.
■Special event talkgroups—may be used to man-
age emergencies encompassing a large area, or
even events such as visits by heads of state.

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 the incoming call contains special signaling that
matches the signaling programmed for your radio, the
LED flashes green and your radio may give a ringing
tone.
Receiving a text message
Your radio may be able to display received text
messages in conventional mode. If programmed, the
queuing icon (empty queue) or (message in
queue) is always shown in the default display while in
conventional mode.
Viewing a text message
When a text message is received, the radio sounds

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 scanning icon appears on the
display.
The section "Selecting a group" on page 52 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.
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 vot-
ing 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 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 group" on page 52 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:
1Lift the microphone off the microphone clip.
2Press the PTT key to transmit. If 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, 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.

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 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

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

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 78.
2Press Send.
An emergency call is now sent to the emergency
location that has been programmed for your radio.

This feature is only available for radios with
alphanumeric keys.
1Dial *9.
2Press Send or the # or PTT key.
An emergency call is now sent to the emergency
location that has been programmed for your radio.
If you wish to send an emergency call to
another radio, you may be able to dial *9*n then
press the # or PTT key. In this case, n is the
radio unit number you wish to send the
emergency call to and may be a two- or three-
digit number.
Activating emergency mode
You can activate emergency mode using a function
key programmed for emergency mode. Alternatively,
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.

Receiving a call
When you receive a call, your radio displays the
caller’s identity and responds in one of two ways,
depending on the way it was programmed and the
way your network operates.
■On-air call setup: The radio gives a ring and auto-
matically accepts the call. The icon appears in
the display.
■Full off-air call setup (FOACSU): When a call is
received, the radio rings like a telephone.
To accept the call, press Answer. The radio gives
a beep and the icon appears in the display. You
may also be able to accept the call if you briefly
press the PTT key or lift the microphone off the
microphone clip.
Once the icon appears, you can proceed with the
call, as follows:
1Hold the microphone about 2 inches (5 cm) from
your mouth.
2Press and hold the PTT key to transmit.
3Speak clearly into the microphone and release the
PTT key when you have finished talking.
While you are transmitting, the LED glows red and
appears in the display.
4End the call by placing your microphone back onto
its hook or by pressing Clear. The network may
also end the call if neither you nor the other party
transmits for a predetermined time or if your call
time limit is exceeded.
Call time limit
In trunked mode, the length of your call may be limited
by the network or by your radio. Your radio may be
programmed to display the time remaining for
your call.
Operating in trunked mode 87
Re-establishing a call
The last number recall, unanswered call and callback

Checking the queue
If you have missed an incoming call, status message
or text message, it may be stored in the queue.
Information about the last call or message is shown on
the display and the queue icon appears.
The queue can be programmed to store multiple calls
or messages or just the last call or message.
In the example below, a status message was received
from Car 1. This is the first of three calls or messages
stored in the queue.
If there are calls or messages in the queue, the radio
may emit a warble tone which will time out after a
programmable time. The notification starts again
when the radio is restarted.
Accessing the queue

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:

Charging and caring for batteries 119
12 Charging and caring for
batteries
This 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
120 Charging and caring for batteries
About the chargers
Unless 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 bat-
tery at a time.
■Multicharger:
Charges up to six
batteries. It can be
mounted on a desk,
on a wall, or in an
equipment rack.
Warning The multi-charger must be connected to an
earthed mains socket-outlet.
■Vehicle charger: Charges one
battery at a time while installed
in a vehicle.
Charging and caring for batteries 121
Before using the charger
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.
Handle the battery safely
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, please read the
Li-ion Battery Safety Information (MPC-00006-xx)
included with your battery, and follow the instruc-
tions 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 con-
ductive material.
Attaching of labels
Warning 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 23.
122 Charging and caring for batteries
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.
■If possible, charge the battery in
temperatures between 50 °F and
77 °F (between 10 °C and 25 °C).
This temperature range is the opti-
mal charging range.
Charging only starts when the battery is
between 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C).
Temperature indications
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.
77 °F
25 °C
50 °F
10 °C
Charging and caring for batteries 123
Vehicle charger only
It 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 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
Applies to desktop charger and multicharger
only.
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.
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.
124 Charging and caring for batteries
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 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 125
Charging the battery
Fully 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.
126 Charging and caring for batteries
LED behavior
If 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.

tery/radio out of the charger.
■Vehicle charger: Pull the release bar up, and then
lift out the battery.
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. You can
also leave a battery/radio in the charger once
charging is complete.
Maintaining battery life and
performance
With proper care and maintenance you will maintain
the performance and life of the battery. It is
recommended that you:
■Use only Tait batteries and chargers.
■Do not expose a battery to very high or very low
temperatures for extended periods of time. Doing
so will shorten the service life of the battery.

Storing batteries
When not in use for a month or more, batteries should
be stored correctly to prolong their life.
■Remove the battery from the radio before storage.
■Fully charge the battery if storing for less than one
month.
■Charge the battery to about 30% if storing for lon-
ger than one month.
■Store the battery in a cool dry place.
Using batteries after storage
Batteries that have been stored for any length of time
must be charged before being used. See "Charging
the battery" on page 125.

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
Software installed on one unit of a
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
Tait Software Licence Agreement 137
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
138 Tait Software Licence Agreement
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 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.
SECTION 9 CONFIDENTIALITY
Licensee acknowledges that the
Software and Documentation contain
proprietary and Confidential

Tait Software Licence Agreement 139
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

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

applicable laws and regulations,

11.3. ASSIGNMENTS AND
SUBCONTRACTING. Tait may assign
its rights or subcontract its obligations
under this Agreement, or encumber or
sell its rights in any Software, without
prior notice to, or consent of, Licensee.
11.4. GOVERNING LAW. This
Agreement shall be subject to and
construed in accordance with New
Zealand law and disputes between the
parties concerning the provisions
hereof shall be determined by the New
Zealand Courts of Law. Provided
however Tait may at its election bring
proceedings for breach of the terms
hereof or for the enforcement of any
judgment in relation to a breach of the
terms hereof in any jurisdiction Tait
considers fit for the purpose of
ensuring compliance with the terms
hereof or obtaining relief for breach of
the terms hereof.
11.5. THIRD-PARTY
BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is
entered into solely for the benefit of
Tait and Licensee. No third party has
the right to make any claim or assert
any right under this Agreement, and no
third party is deemed a beneficiary of
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any licensor or supplier of
third-party software included in the
Software will be a direct and intended
third-party beneficiary of this
Agreement.

8, 9, 10, and 11 survive the termination
of this Agreement.

the event of inconsistencies between
this Agreement and any other
Agreement between the parties, the
parties agree that, with respect to the
specific subject matter of this
Agreement, this Agreement prevails.
11.8. SECURITY. Tait uses
reasonable means in the design and
writing of its own Software and the
acquisition of third-party Software in
order to limit Security Vulnerabilities.
While no software can be guaranteed
to be free from Security Vulnerabilities,
if a Security Vulnerability is
discovered, Tait will take the steps
specified in Section 6 of this
Agreement.

transfer, directly or indirectly, any

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

unenforceable provision with a valid
and enforceable provision that
achieves the original intent and
economic effect of this Agreement.
