Radio frequency exposure information For your own safety and to ensure you comply with the Federal Communication Commissions (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 accompanies 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 RSS-210 Industry Canada maximum exposure limits for occupational/controlled environments, follow these guidelines:
For your safety 5 Do not talk (transmit) on the radio more than the rated transmit duty cycle. This is important because the radio radiates more energy when it is transmitting than when it is receiving. While you are transmitting (talking or sending data) on the radio, you must ensure that there is always a distance of 35 inches (0.9 m) between people and the antenna. This is the minimum safe distance. For 110 W mobiles, the minimum safe distance is 44 inches (1.1 m). Use the radio only with Tait-approved antennas and attachments, and make only authorized modifications to the antenna otherwise you could damage the radio and violate FCC regulations. For more information on what RF energy is and how to control your exposure to it, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html. RSS-210 Industry Canada warning statement The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from the Health Canadas website http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca.

About your digital radio About the radio controls Understanding the radio display Understanding the radio indicators Using function keys to access frequently used features Navigating the radios menus Locating a menu Getting started 13 About your digital radio Your digital radio may have some channels programmed as either analog or dual mode. Dual mode channels are able to receive both digital and analog calls. You may notice differences between your radios analog and digital channels in terms of:
static noise in low signal areas, and radio coverage in marginal reception areas. Lack of static noise On digital channels there is no static noise, even in low signal areas. This lack of static is because your digital radio removes the noise from the call, so that you hear only clear voice. Coverage With analog channels, the background noise in a call gets progressively worse when you are in fringe areas or even slightly outside normal coverage areas. With digital channels, 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. 14 Getting started About the radio controls The radio controls are the PTT key, volume control, on /
off key, scroll keys, selection keys and function keys. Some keys have functions assigned to both short and long key presses:
a short key press is less than one second, and a long key press is more than one second. The radio controls and their functions are described in the following sections. PTT key

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 Licensees 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 Licensees 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 Licensees 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 Licensees 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
