Chassis engraving will void warranty Caution: Engraving the chassis can significantly reduce its mechanical strength and will void any warranty. If the chassis has been engraved, it must be replaced. To our European customers Tait Electronics Limited is an environmentally responsible company which supports waste minimization and material recovery. The European Unions Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive requires that this product be disposed of separately from the general waste stream when its service life is over. Please be environmentally responsible and dispose through the original supplier, your local municipal waste separate collection service, or contact Tait Electronics Limited. y t n a r r a w d o v l l i i w g n i v a r g n e s i s s a h C Chassis engraving will void warranty i y t e f a s r u o y r o F 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 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 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 ii For your safety the radio radiates more energy when it is transmit-
ting 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 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 carrying accessory that has been specifically approved by Tait for this radio. Using non-approved body-worn accessories may mean you expose your-
self to higher levels of RF than recommended by the FCCs 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 http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html. Compliance with RF energy exposure standards This two-way radio complies with these RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:

The most important of these is to charge your battery for the first timeallow 14 hours for this. This section covers:
Charging the battery before first use
Attaching a battery
Attaching the antenna
Attaching a belt clip
Fitting a speaker microphone Before first use of your radio 3 i o d a r r u o y f o e s u t s r i f e r o f e B i o d a r r u o y f o e s u t s r i f e r o f e B Charging the battery before first use Before using your battery for the first time, you must charge it for 14 hours (subsequent charges should be complete in 2 hours or less). This first charge is important because it prepares (primes) the battery for use. The battery may take 2-3 shifts (charge/discharge cycles) to reach maximum capacity. Note: Charging is best performed at temperatures between 50 F (10 C) and 77 F (25 C) and will start only when the temperature of the battery is between 41F (5C) and 95F (35C). 1 Ensure that the charger is connected to the correct Tait power adaptor. 2 Put the battery in the charger. The red Charging LED glows to indicate that the battery is being charged. Note: If the amber Fault LED lights up, refer to Troubleshooting your charger on page 61.) 3 Leave the battery in the charger for 14 hours. When the green Ready LED on the charger glows, the battery is ready for use. You can safely leave the battery in the charger when charging is completethe charger will not overcharge the battery. For further information on batteries, see Charging and caring for batteries on page 50. 4 Charging the battery before first use Attaching a battery To attach a battery to your radio:
1 Insert the bottom edge of the battery into the two slots at the back of the radio. 2 Press down on the top of the battery to snap it into place. 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 doesnt unscrew easily. This is important as it creates a seal. Attaching a belt clip To attach a belt clip to your radio:
1 Slide the belt clip into the two grooves at the top of the battery. belt clip battery 2 Push down on the belt clip until it snaps into place. See also Removing a belt clip on page 60.

Removing the protective cover Before fitting the speaker microphone, you may need to remove the radios protective cover. This cover is located above the battery on the rear of the radio. 1 Insert a coin, or other suitably shaped object, into the slot of the protective cover. Twist the coin clockwise from the locked to unlocked position. 2 Remove the cover and store in a safe place. Attaching the accessory connector Once you have removed the protective cover, you can fit the speaker accessory connector to the back of the radio. 1 Push and hold the metal clip to release the lever. lever metal clip 2 Rotate the lever clockwise to an upright position. 3 Insert the white locking clip into the matching hole at the rear of the radio. insert the white locking clip into this hole 4 Rotate the lever counterclockwise until you hear it click. 5 Check that the accessory connector is firmly locked into place. 6 Fitting a speaker microphone 3 About your radio This section describes all the various buttons and keys on your radio. This section covers:
About your digital radio
Basic operation
Using function keys to access frequently used features
Understanding the radio display
Using the menus to access settings and features
Understanding the radio indicators i o d a r r u o y t u o b A About your radio 7 About your digital radio You may notice some differences between digital and analog channels, for example, the lack of static noise in low signal areas and consequently where you notice that coverage is poor. Lack of static noise You may notice the lack of static noise on digital channels. This lack of static is because your digital radio removes the noise from the transmission so that you hear only clear voice. Coverage With analog channels, a transmission gets progressively worse when you are in fringe areas or even slightly outside normal coverage areas. However, with digital channels, a transmission remains clear and then drops off quickly at the border of a transmission area. The reason for this is that a digital transmission is either received or it isn't. i o d a r r u o y t u o b A 8 About your digital radio Basic operation The radio controls are the PTT key, power/volume control, channel selector, three-way selector control, 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. 3-way selector control top key

Adjusting the volume With the radio turned on, rotate the power/volume control clockwise to increase the speaker volume and counterclockwise to decrease the volume. Note: The volume control also changes the volume level of the radios audible indicators. About the channel selector The channel selector allows you to select and change channels. When first turned on, the radio will go to the channel that was last selected. See also Selecting a channel on page 23. i o d a r r u o y t u o b A 10 Basic operation Using function keys to access frequently used features The function keys and three-way selector control provide quick access to some of the features you will use most often.

Using the keypad If your radio model has an alphanumeric keypad, you can enter a number to select the channel you want. s l l a c g n i v i e c e r d n a g n i k a M Making calls 23 Limiting call time (transmit timer) Your radio may limit the amount of time you can talk
(transmit) continuously, if it is programmed in this way. This is known as the transmit or time-out timer and allows other radio users to make calls on that channel. The radio warns you before the transmit timer expires by beeping three times. Also, the red status LED flashes and a message appears in the display:
Transmit timeout imminent Finish your conversation as soon as possible and release the PTT. For a short time, your radio may prevent you from transmitting to allow other radio users to make calls on the channel. Understanding talkgroups Note: This feature is available for digital channels only. Talkgroups are a collection of people (radio IDs) with whom you want to have private conversations as a group. For example, a state's public safety agencies could have the following talkgroups:
Local talkgroupsused by a specific agency to com-
municate within their own local agency. It may even be made up of a county of public safety officers.
Regional talkgroupsused by large state agencies that have regional divisions.
Statewide talkgroupsused 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. s l l a c g n i v i e c e r d n a g n i k a M 24 Making calls
Special event talkgroupsmay be used to manage emergencies encompassing a large area, or even events such as visits by heads of state. Making a talkgroup call

Turning squelch override on and off c i f f a r t l e n n a h c o t g n n e t s i L i 32 Listening to channel traffic Scanning a group of channels The scanning feature is used to monitor a pre-
programmed group of channels for activity. When a busy channel is detected in a group, the radio stops on
(captures) that channel, and you can now hear the transmission. Scanning resumes when the channel is no longer busy. Note: Priority channels may be specified when the radio is programmed. These are channels that you want the radio to check for activity more often than other non-priority channels. Priority channels are scanned periodically when a non-priority channel is busy. Understanding the different types of 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 using a function key programmed for background scan. When you activate background scan, the currently selected channel automatically becomes a member of the scan group. Selecting a scan group Using a function key You can use a function key to select a preset scan group, if your radio is programmed in this way.
Press the function key to select a preset scan group and activate scanning. The programmed scan group is now shown in the display (standard scan only), the LED glows amber and the scanning icon appears in the display. c i f f a r t l e n n a h c o t g n n e t s i L i Scanning a group of channels 33 c i f f a r t l e n n a h c o t g n n e t s i L i Using the Main menu You can select a scan group using the Main menu, if your radio is programmed in this way. Note: This method is only available for standard scan. 1 Press Menu and select Channels. 2 Scroll to the scan group you want and press Done. The LED glows amber and the scanning icon appears in the display:
Making a call while scanning If you want to make a call while your radio is scanning:
1 Lift the microphone off the microphone clip. 2 Press the PTT key to transmit. If the LED is flashing amber, or background scan is active, your radio will now call the currently selected channel. If standard scan is active and there has been no recent activity on the channel (the LED is glowing amber 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, 34 Scanning a group of channels
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. About nuisance delete If the radio is continuously stopping on an undesired channel (for example, if there is too much activity or even interference) while scanning, you may be able to temporarily remove this channel from the scan group. Removing a channel from a scan group When the radio has stopped on the channel that you want to remove from the scan group, press the function key programmed for this purpose. If the channel has successfully been removed from the scan group, the message Channel deleted from group appears in the display:
Channel deleted from group Scanning automatically begins again. The channel remains removed from the scan group until you either select another scan group or the radio is turned off and then on again. Editing a background scan group Your radio may be programmed so that you can permanently change the membership of your background scan group by using the function key programmed for nuisance delete. c i f f a r t l e n n a h c o t g n n e t s i L i Scanning a group of channels 35 When background scan is active, you can scroll through the channel list to see which channel is a member of your background scan group. When the channel is a group member, the scanning icon includes a tick. Note: The function key programmed to activate your background scan group may be programmed so that a short key press activates background scan and a long key press activates nuisance delete.

Without squelch, the radio would chatter on and off in low signal strength areas, for example, which can be annoying. However, there may be occasions when you want to hear what is being said on a channel, even if it is hard to understand. You can do this using the squelch override feature, which allows you to listen to everything on the channel. This feature is more applicable for analog channels. For digital channels, use the Monitor feature (see page 31). Turning squelch override on and off Using the Main menu You can turn squelch override on and off using the Main menu:
1 Press Menu and select Radio settings > Functions

Press the function key to turn the priority call fea-
ture on. The priority call feature remains on until you press the function key again. Understanding emergency mode When you press the emergency key your radio enters emergency mode, if your radio is programmed in this way. When the radio enters emergency mode, it will automatically send alerts together with your radio unit ID to the dispatcher. These alerts are usually sent on a designated emergency channel. Note: The way your radio behaves in emergency mode depends on how your radio is programmed. For further information on what your radio may do in emergency mode, see What happens during an emergency call? on page 48. Stealth and non-stealth emergency modes Depending on what your work involves, your radio is programmed to operate in one of these ways:
Stealth: you often work in situations where you do not want an assailant to know that you have acti-
vated emergency mode. For this reason, the radio is silent and the display remains unchangedthere is no indication that the radio has entered emergency mode.
Non-stealth: you often work in situations where you want audible and visual confirmation that you have activated emergency mode (for example, at an accident scene).

To answer the call, remove the radio from the charger the call will not be disrupted. To make a call, remove the radio from the charger. (The radio will not transmit while it is in the charger.) Note: 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. About battery charging 55 s e i r e t t a b r o f g n i r a c d n a g n g r a h C i s e i r e t t a b r o f g n i r a c d n a g n g r a h C i 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 chargers.
Avoid exposing batteries to high temperatures
(above 122F (50C)) or extremely cold temperatures for long periods of time (-4F
(-20C) for NiMH, and -22F (-30C) for NiCd).
Charge batteries at room temperature (between 50F (10C) and 77F (25C)).
Allow your nickel-based battery to fully discharge every so oftenNiCd batteries once a month and NiMH batteries once every 3 months. To do this, leave your radio switched on and ignore the battery low warnings. When the radio switches off, the battery is fully discharged.
Store batteries properly when not in use. See Storing batteries on page 57. Battery safety vent Warning: Do not cover the battery safety vent
(shown below). 56 Maintaining battery life and performance 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.
Store the battery (in either a charged or discharged state) in a cool dry place. Using nickel-based 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 54. When first using nickel-based batteries that have been in storage for three months or more, you may notice that they do not last an entire shift. This is normal. If stored properly, the batterys optimal capacity should be restored after two or three shifts (charge/discharge cycles). Disposing of batteries Batteries should be disposed of properly. NiCd (nickel cadmium) batteries contain cadmium which, if disposed of in landfills, is very hazardous to the environment. Please contact your radio provider for information on recycling programs in your area.

The Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO) established Project 25
(P25). This project was led by United States Federal, state, and local government representatives to develop standards for interoperable digital radios and systems to meet the needs of public safety users. See http://
www.project25.org for further information. A repeater is a relaying site, usually situated above a city or town, for example, on a hill, that receives and re-
transmits signals received from radios. In repeater talkaround mode radios transmit and receive directly with other radios on a single frequency (known as simplex operation) without the need for a repeater. Radio Frequency is the signal (radio waves) that the radio transmits and receives. The frequency of the signal is described in terms of the number of cycles per second or Hertz (Hz). RF is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, as is sunlight. y r a s s o G l RSSI RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) is a level that indicates the strength of the received signal. V valid signal A valid signal is a signal that the radio responds to by unmuting the receiver. A signal is valid, for example, when it is stronger than a minimum level.

For information about the way your radio operates, contact your radio provider. 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 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. Product safety and compliance information 3
! Ensure this RF exposure information accom-
panies 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:
! Do not talk (transmit) on the radio more than the rated transmit duty cycle. This is impor-
tant 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 recom-
mended distance is important because expo-
4 Product safety and compliance information sure 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 carrying accessory that has been specifi-
cally 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 FCCs occupa-
tional/controlled environment RF exposure limits.
! Ensure you only use Tait-approved antennas, batteries, and accessories. For more information on what RF energy is and how to control your exposure to it, visit the FCC website at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html. Compliance with RF energy exposure standards This radio complies with these RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
! United States Federal Communications Com-
mission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR 1.1307, 1.1310, and 2.1093. Product safety and compliance information 5
! American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
/ Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engi-
neers (IEEE) C95.1-1992
! Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition. This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors of up to 50% transmitting (even though the approved batteries for this radio are rated for a 5-
5-90 duty factor (5% talk-5% listen-
90% standby)). Radio frequency emissions limits in the USA Part 15 of the FCC Rules imposes RF emission limits on receivers. This radio complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference. 6 Product safety and compliance information Unapproved modifications or changes to radio The radio is designed to satisfy the applicable compliance regulations.
