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 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. 10 For your safety DRAFT 2 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 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 FCCs 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. Compliance with RF energy exposure standards This two-way radio complies with these RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:

aircraft electronic systems vehicular electronic systems such as fuel injec-
tion, anti-skid brakes, and cruise control medical devices such as pacemakers and hearing aids medical equipment in hospitals or health care facilities. Switch off the radio before boarding an aircraft. Using your radio while in the air is not permitted. Consult the manufacturer (or its representative) of any such electronic devices to determine whether electronic circuits in those devices will perform normally when the radio is transmitting. Warning If you have a pacemaker:
immediately turn off the radio if you suspect it is interfering with the pacemaker keep the radio at least 6 inches (15 cm) from the pacemaker while the radio is on use the radio on your right side to minimize inter-
ference never carry the radio in a breast pocket. 16 For your safety DRAFT 2 If there is interference between your hearing aid and the radio, please discuss an alternative solution with the hearing aid manufacturer. Potentially explosive atmospheres and blasting areas Warning Unless the radio is specifically certified for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere, turn off the radio before entering such an atmosphere. An explosion could cause serious injury or death. Examples of potentially explosive atmospheres include filling stations, and any environment where there are flammable liquids, gases, or dusts. Warning Turn off the radio before approaching blasting caps, a blasting area, or any area where you are instructed to turn off a two-way radio. Obey all signs and instructions. Interference with blasting operations could cause serious injury or death. Intrinsically Safe radios Intrinsically Safe (IS) radios and accessories are certified by a third party to be safe to use in particular hazardous locations, or in potentially explosive atmospheres. Warning IS certification applies only while the product is used in accordance with these instructions. One or more of the following marks identifies a TP9400 radio as an IS radio:
an IS circle logo on the radios front panel a label on the radio, showing IS information a label on the radio battery, showing IS informa-
tion IS radios also have a blue front panel. For your safety 17 DRAFT 2 Radios with the product code T03-22xxx-xx have IS approval and are approved to one of the following ratings. Check the label on your radio for the exact rating.

Carry accessories are not specifically rated, and may be used in any area, subject to the rating restrictions of the overall radio system. See "Rating matching" on page 19 for more information. 18 For your safety DRAFT 2 Warning Ensure that the ratings printed on a label on the equipment will permit your IS radio and accessories to be used in your hazardous location. The operating temperature range for IS radios and accessories in hazardous locations is 4F to +104F
(20C to +40C). In safe locations it is 4F to
+140F (20C to + 60C). IS radios, batteries, antennas and accessories must not be engraved or modified in any way. Do not use the radio if it is cracked or damaged. Do not use the antenna if the sheathing is split or the end cap is missing. IS 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 rating and the third party IS approval. To have an IS radio serviced, return it to an authorized Tait branch or subsidiary. Warning Use only a Tait-supplied, IS-approved battery, antenna, audio accessory or carry accessory with an IS radio. Fitting a battery or accessory that is not IS-approved exposes the customer to a risk of explosion which could cause serious injury or death. For an up-to-date list of approved accessories, refer to TP9300/TP9400 IS Portable Radios Approved IS Accessories on the Tait website, or contact your nearest Tait office. Warning Do not charge the battery, or change the antenna, in a hazardous location. An explosion could cause serious injury or death. Rating matching The rating of the radio, battery and accessories must be reviewed to ensure a safe IS radio system. IS ratings must be matched, and the lowest approval level determines the radio system approval. Gas Group IIC-rated batteries and accessories may be used with IIA radios, but the combination may only be used in a IIA Gas atmosphere. For your safety 19 DRAFT 2 Gas Group IIC and Dust Group IIIC-rated acces-
sories may be used with Gas Group IIA or IIC radios, but the combination may only be used in a Gas atmosphere. Any item approved to IIA will limit the radio system to a IIA area. For use in a IIC area, all items must be approved to IIC. Radio installation and operation in vehicles Warning Keep the radio away from airbags and airbag deployment areas. Do not install, charge, or place a radio near such areas. An activated airbag can propel a portable radio with sufficient force to cause serious injury to vehicle occupants. An airbag may not perform to specification if obstructed by a radio. Warning To avoid damage to existing wiring, airbags, fuel tanks, fuel and brake lines, or battery cables, refer to the installation guide for the radio, and to the vehicle manufacturers manual, before installing electronic equipment in the vehicle.

Unapproved modifications or changes to radio The radio is designed to satisfy the applicable compliance regulations. Do not make modifications or changes to the radio that are not expressly approved by Tait. Failure to do so could invalidate compliance requirements and void the users authority to operate the radio. Engraving and modification of intrinsically safe radios Warning Intrinsically Safe (IS) radios and batteries must not be engraved or modified in any way. For more information on IS radios refer to "Intrinsically Safe radios" on page 17. For your safety 21 DRAFT 2 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. Caution 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. If you must attach a customized label, use only a thin gummed paper label applied to the bottom 25% of the radio chassis label and/or to the top 25%
of the battery label. Do not obstruct the vent holes
(see Warning above). Do not allow the paper label to extend beyond the recessed label area or to conceal relevant product information. Use of lithium-ion batteries Warning A damaged battery can cause an explosion or fire, and can result in personal injury and/or property damage. To prevent personal injury and/or damage to property, read the important safety information supplied with the battery. Short-circuiting battery contacts Warning 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 and cause personal injury and/or damage to property. 22 For your safety DRAFT 2 Menu maps This section shows the menus and submenus that may be programmed for your radio.

This section covers:
About P25 digital radios About the radio controls Understanding the radio display Understanding the radio indicators Using function keys to access frequently used fea-
tures Navigating the radios menus Getting started 33 DRAFT 2 About P25 digital radios Your P25 digital radio can be programmed for P25 conventional or P25 trunked operation. Analog conventional operation is also available, with dual-
mode channels able to transmit and 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. P25 phase 2 operation This feature is controlled by a software license
(SFE) and may not be available with your radio. TP9400 radios can be programmed to operate on P25 trunked phase 2 networks. You will recognize that your radio operates on a P25 phase 2 network, if the RSSI indicator does not disappear while transmitting. This is because the radio continues to receive data in the background. If one participant of a call uses a P25 phase 1 radio, the call may be made as a P25 phase 1 call. 34 Getting started DRAFT 2 About the radio controls The radio controls are the PTT key, power/volume control, channel selector, 3-way selector control
(optional), 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 (optional) power / volume control function key 2 PTT key

This includes how to make group calls, individual calls and phone calls. This feature is controlled by a software license
(SFE) and may not be available with your radio. The features described in this chapter are only available for radios configured for P25 trunking operation. This section covers:
About P25 trunking Checking that the system is available Making a talkgroup call Receiving a talkgroup call Making an individual call Receiving an individual call Emergency calls Making a phone call Unconnected calls Failsoft mode operation Dynamic regrouping 66 Operating in P25 trunking mode DRAFT 2 About P25 trunking Your radio may be able to operate on a P25 trunking system as well as a conventional repeater-based system. On a conventional system, radio users compete for access to individual channels, and one channel can be overloaded with traffic while others are often unused. The trunking system allows several channels to be automatically shared by a number of radio users. These traffic channels are pooled and allocated, as required, for the duration of a call. As calls are completed, the traffic channels are returned to the pool, to be used for other calls. This system means reduced waiting times to make calls. Checking that the system is available When you first switch to a talkgroup configured for P25 trunking, the radio attempts to access the network and register on a control channel. If registration is successful, the trunking system available icon appears in the display. Talkgroup 1 Zone 11 Menu trunked system available icon talkgroup name zone or site name Registration is unsuccessful If registration is not successful, and the display shows No service. does not appear, Talkgroup 1 No service Menu The radio may sound five beeps, followed by a repeating double beep.

Site trunking operation During normal trunking operation, your radio may roam between a number of sites, each with its own zone controller. This behavior is transparent to you, unless there is a problem with a zone controller. When this happens, the radio enters site trunking mode, and you will only be able to communicate with users within a single site. While in site trunking mode, the display shows Site Trunking, and the radio sounds a repeating double beep. The double beep continues until normal service is restored. Site Trunking Zone 11 Menu When access to the zone controller is available again, your radio automatically returns to normal multi-site operation. P25 phase 1 features not supported in P25 phase 2 If the user tries to use a P25 phase 1 feature which is not yet supported in P25 phase 2, the radio may show a system error. 68 Operating in P25 trunking mode DRAFT 2 P25 phase 2 fallback mode If there is a fault on the phase 2 network, operation may fall back to phase 1 mode. Failsoft operation Your radio may be programmed to enter failsoft mode when service is lost due to failure of a trunking site controller. For information about failsoft mode, see "Failsoft mode operation" on page 76. Making a talkgroup call A talkgroup is a collection of radios on a trunking system. Trunked talkgroups are found in the Channels menu, along with conventional channels that may also be available for the currently selected zone. Depending on how your radio is programmed, you may be able to press a function key, use your Quick Access menu or use the channel selector to select a trunked talkgroup.

Operating in P25 trunking mode 75 DRAFT 2 Failsoft mode operation If your radio is unable to access the trunking system, it may be programmed to enter failsoft mode. Failsoft mode operates in one of two ways: radio-based failsoft and infrastructure failsoft. Radio-based failsoft When you lose access to the trunking system, no longer appears, the bars in the RSSI icon disappear
, and the display shows No service. Talkgroup 1 No service Menu After a short time, your radio switches to a programmed conventional communications channel. Channel 1 Zone 11 Menu The radio remains on that channel until you select a trunked talkgroup with access to the trunking system. Infrastructure failsoft Your radio receives a message from the trunking infrastructure to say that the trunking system is now operating in failsoft mode. While in failsoft mode, the display shows Failsoft, and the radio sounds a repeating double beep. The double beep continues until normal service is restored. Failsoft Zone 11 Menu 76 Operating in P25 trunking mode DRAFT 2 You may still be able to communicate with your dispatcher and other talkgroup members, depending on the type of system failure that has occurred, and how your radio is programmed. When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio is notified, and will attempt to register on the control channel it was previously using. Dynamic regrouping The dynamic regrouping feature allows you to send a dynamic regrouping request to your dispatcher. Your dispatcher can then reassign your radio to a special communications group. Caution While you are operating on this group, normal channel selection may be disabled. To send a dynamic regrouping request:

Ack received OK Operating in P25 trunking mode 77 DRAFT 2 7 Scanning This section explains the different types of scanning that may be available on your radio, and also how to view and edit scan group members. This section covers:
About scanning Activating standard scanning Activating background scanning Activating in-zone scanning Activating talkgroup scanning Making a call while scanning Suspending a channel from a scan group Editing a scan group 78 Scanning DRAFT 2 About scanning The scan feature is used to monitor groups of channels or talkgroups for activity of interest. This means that you are able to operate across multiple channels or talkgroups at the same time. For example, you may need to monitor your own conventional dispatch channel as well as other local area channels, such as a local sheriff and highway patrol channel. Members of a scan group may be conventional channels (P25 or analog), trunked talkgroups, and vote groups, depending of the type of scan group. When scanning is active, the radio searches through member channels for activity. If activity is found, the radio remains on that channel or talkgroup, so that you can hear the activity, and respond if necessary. Once the activity has finished, the radio begins searching again. Some channels or talkgroups, known as priority channels or talkgroups, are scanned more often that others in the scan group. Calls from priority channels or talkgroups take precedence over those from non-
priority group members. While the radio is scanning for activity, the animated icon appears on the display. Talkgroup 2 Zone 1 Ad. book Menu icon flashes. When the radio stops on a channel or talkgroup where there is activity, the In a background or talkgroup scan group, a scanning icon with a tick (
channel or talkgroup is a member of the scan group. The four types of scanning that may be available on your radio are:
standard scanning (P25 conventional and analog
) indicates that the selected channels) Scanning 79 DRAFT 2 background scanning (P25 conventional and ana-
log channels, and may include some voting groups) in-zone scanning (P25 conventional and analog channels, and P25 trunked talkgroups) talkgroup scanning (P25 trunked talkgroups, and may include some P25 conventional and analog channels,). For information about viewing and editing scan group membership, see "Editing a scan group"
on page 85. 80 Scanning DRAFT 2 Activating standard scanning A standard scan group scans conventional channels
(P25 and analog) from across zones, and can also scan one or two voting groups. A standard scan group appears and behaves on the radio like a separate channel, and all standard scan groups are included in the channel list. Standard scanning is activated when you select a standard scan group. To select a standard scan group:
1 Press Menu and select Channels.
(Depending on how your radio is programmed, you may be able to press a function key or use the channel selector or Quick Access menu to select channels.) 2 Scroll to the group you want and press Select. Channels Scan 1 Channel 9 Back Select Activating background scanning A background scan group scans the group members, as well as the current channel selected on the radio. The group member channels can include conventional channels (P25 or analog) across zones, and can also include one or two voting groups. Background scanning provides more flexibility than standard scanning, as the radio user can select a current channel to operate on, while still monitoring permanent group members for activity. To turn background scanning on:
Press Menu and select Radio settings > Functions
> Scanning, or press the function key programmed for background scanning. Scanning 81 DRAFT 2 Background scanning remains on until you either press the function key again, or select a standard, in-zone or talkgroup scan group. Changing the background scan group assigned to the function key 1 Press Menu and select Radio settings > Functions
> Set scan key. 2 Scroll through the list of background scan groups available and press Select. When you next turn on background scanning, this is the scan group that is activated. Activating in-zone scanning An in-zone scan group scans the first 50 conventional channels (P25 or analog) or trunked talkgroups from the currently-selected zone. If you change zones, the radio stops scanning the previous zones channels and automatically starts scanning channels from the new zone. In-zone scanning is useful when scanning conventional channels and trunked talkgroups from within the selected zone, and zones are used to separate different geographic regions or work roles. As you change to a new region or role, you can change to another zone and the radio will automatically start scanning channels or talkgroups in the new zone, with no further action required. To turn in-zone scanning on:
Press Menu and select Radio settings > Functions
> Scanning, or press the function key programmed for in-zone scanning. In-zone scanning remains on until you either press the function key again, or select a standard, background or talkgroup scan group. 82 Scanning DRAFT 2 Activating talkgroup scanning Talkgroup scanning monitors calls from multiple trunked talkgroups, and up to five additional conventional channels (P25 or analog), from across zones. If conventional channels are included as group members, your radio will briefly leave the trunking control channel to scan these channels at regular intervals. Warning If a talkgroup scan group contains P25 or analog conventional channels, scanning needs to exit trunk mode briefly to scan the conventional channels. This may result in delayed or even missed calls!
Talkgroup scanning is useful if you need to operate across multiple trunked talkgroups. When talkgroup scanning is activated, the currently-selected talkgroup or channel is temporarily included in the scan group. If you change zones, the radio continues to monitor group members as well as the currently selected talkgroup or channel from the new zone. To turn talkgroup scanning on:
Press Menu and select Radio settings > Functions
> Scanning, or press the function key programmed for talkgroup scanning. Talkgroup scanning remains on until you either press the function key again, or select a standard, background or in-zone scan group.

This section covers:
About the chargers Special conditions when using IS radios Before using the charger Charging the battery Maintaining battery life and performance Storing batteries Disposing of batteries 132 Charging and caring for batteries DRAFT 2 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 133 DRAFT 2 Special conditions when using IS radios Warning Use only a Tait-supplied, IS-approved battery with an IS radio. Fitting a battery that is not IS-approved exposes the customer to a risk of explosion which could cause serious injury or death. Do not charge the battery in a hazardous location. An explosion could cause serious injury or death. For detailed information about IS radios and how to identify them, see "Intrinsically Safe radios" on page 17. Before using the charger Warning Do not use the charger in a hazardous location. An explosion could cause serious injury or death. 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-circuit-
134 Charging and caring for batteries DRAFT 2 ing the battery contacts can heat up the conduc-
tive 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 28. 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). 77 F 25 C 50 F 10 C Charging and caring for batteries 135 DRAFT 2 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. 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. 136 Charging and caring for batteries DRAFT 2 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. 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 empty. on the radio display looks 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 137 DRAFT 2 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:
1 Desktop 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. 2 Place 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. 138 Charging and caring for batteries DRAFT 2 LED behavior If there is a battery in the charger when power is supplied to the charger, the LEDs behave as follows:
LED briefly steady steady steady Meaning The charger has been connected to a power supply. The battery is charging. Charging complete. Remove the battery, or leave it in the charger. The battery temperature is outside the normal charging range. Charging will start or resume once the temperature is within normal limits. No action is required. There is a fault. Contact your local regional Tait office. or flashing all off If the LEDs for all charger slots continuously flash orange, or red then orange, the multicharger itself may be faulty (e.g. the fan may be jammed or faulty). Consult your radio provider for advice. There is a fault. Contact your local regional Tait office. 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. Charging and caring for batteries 139 DRAFT 2 Removing the battery from the charger Desktop charger and multicharger: Lift the battery/
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. Very high: above 140 F (60 C) Very low: less than 4 F (20 C) Warning The operating temperature range for IS radios in hazardous locations is 4F to +104F
(20C to +40C). Charge the battery at a room temperature of between 50 F and 77 F (between 10 C and 25 C). This temperature range is the optimal charging range. Store batteries properly when not in use. See "Storing batteries" on page 141. 140 Charging and caring for batteries DRAFT 2 Cleaning the contacts of the battery Notice Do not scratch or scrape the contacts of the battery. If necessary, wipe the contacts of the battery with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt, oil or grease. 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 138. Disposing of batteries Run the battery flat before disposing of it. When disposing of the battery, be sure to do so in an environmentally sensitive manner. Please contact your radio provider for information on recycling programs in your area. See "Environmental responsibilities" on page 9 for more information.

Troubleshooting 147 DRAFT 2 15 Glossary A APCO C channel control channel conventional operation The Association of Public Safety Communications Officials. The APCO Project 25 standards committee (http://www.apcointl.org/) defined a digital radio standard. The standard is often referred to as APCO or P25. In a conventional system, a channel is a pair of frequencies used to transmit and receive radio signals. In a P25 trunking system, a channel is a group of radio users. In a P25 trunking system, the control channel is used by the trunking site to let the radio units in the sites coverage area know when they can transmit their call information. In conventional operation, the radio is tuned to a programmed channel, and communicates with other radios either on that channel, or through a repeater system. 148 Glossary DRAFT 2 F failsoft FCC L LED M mute Failsoft operation offers P25 conventional operation if the radio cannot acquire a control channel on a trunking system for an extended period of time. The conventional channel may be a repeater channel or a direct channel. Federal Communications Commission, an independent United States government agency that regulates interstate and international radio communications. Light Emitting Diode, a device that is able to emit light. A mute controls the circumstances under which a received signal is passed to the radios speaker. For example, when a signal is received by the radio, the mute may remain closed if the signal is not strong enough, does not have valid signaling or is encrypted. Glossary 149 DRAFT 2 P P25 P25 Phase 1 P25 Phase 2 Project 25. 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. P25 Phase 1 refers to radio systems operating in 12.5 kHz analog, digital or mixed mode on conventional networks or in digital for trunking networks. Phase 1 digital transmissions are FDMA
(Frequency Division Multiple Access) based and use Continuous 4 level Frequency Modulation (C4FM) or LSM, a linear modulation for simulcast systems. P25 Phase 2 refers to the P25 digital Common Air Interface (CAI), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) based, which provides one voice channel per 6.25 kHz channel spectrum efficiency. The current standards effort focuses on 2-slot TDMA which provides two voice traffic channels in a 12.5 kHz allocation. 150 Glossary DRAFT 2 R repeater RF RSSI T traffic channel trunking operation A repeater is a relaying site, usually situated above a city or town. The repeater extends the range of radio communications by receiving and re-
transmitting signals received from radios. Radio Frequency, the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is suitable for radio transmissions. The frequency of the RF signal is described in terms of the number of cycles per second or Hertz (Hz). Received Signal Strength Indicator, an icon or number that shows the strength of a received signal. The traffic channel is the channel on a trunking system to which the parties participating in a call are directed to for the duration of the call. When the call ends, the traffic channel is returned to the pool of channels for use in a new call. In trunking operation, the trunking system manages the communications channels used by the radio, and shares a number of channels among a large number of radio users. Glossary 151 DRAFT 2 V valid signal A valid signal is a signal that the radio responds to by unmuting the receiver. A signal may be valid, for example, when it is stronger than a minimum level or has special signaling that matches the signaling programmed for the receiving radio. 152 Glossary DRAFT 2 Index A alert tones 40 alias 111 see also audible tones antenna audible tones 40 see also digital radio ID safe distance from face 11 troubleshooting 144 B background scan activating 81 changing group membership 78 battery extending shift life 127 indicator 38 using after storing 141 bypassing repeater 62 C call alert page 95 caller, identifying 60 calls bypassing repeater 62 checking missed calls 55 identifying caller 60 making 57 permitted length of 55 priority call 109 receiving 60 to talkgroup (conventional) two-tone 61 59

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 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. 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 Tait Software Licence Agreement 161 DRAFT 2 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. 162 Tait Software Licence Agreement SECTION 8 TERM AND TERMINATION 8.1. Licensees 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-

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 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:
8 For your safety DRAFT 4 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 FCCs 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. Compliance with RF energy exposure standards This two-way radio complies with these RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:

This section covers:
About your DMR digital radio About the radio controls Understanding the radio display Understanding the radio indicators Using function keys to access frequently used fea-
tures Navigating the radios menus Using the alphanumeric keys to search a list Getting started 31 DRAFT 4 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. 32 Getting started DRAFT 4 About the radio controls The radio controls are the PTT key, power/volume control, channel selector, 3-way selector control
(optional), 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 (optional) power / volume control function key 2 PTT key

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 55 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. Operating in conventional mode 71 DRAFT 4 Scanning a group of channels appears on the display. When The scan function is used to monitor a programmed group of channels, looking for activity. While the radio is scanning for activity, the orange LED glows and the scanning icon activity is detected on a channel in the scan group, the radio stops on that channel. The orange LED begins flashing, the radio unmutes and you can hear the call. Scanning resumes once the channel is no longer busy. The section "Selecting a group" on page 55 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:
1 Lift the microphone off the microphone clip. 2 Press the PTT key to transmit. If the orange LED is flashing, or background scan is active, your radio will now call the currently selected channel. 3 If standard scan is active and there has been no recent activity on the channel (the orange LED is glowing rather than flashing), then the channel that is called depends on the way your radio has been programmed. The possible options are:
your radio calls a predetermined channel e.g. your dispatcher, 72 Operating in conventional mode DRAFT 4 your radio calls the channel where activity was last detected, or your radio calls the last free channel. 4 When the called party responds, proceed with your conversation.

While the call is being setup, you can cancel the call by pressing Clear. 82 Operating in trunked mode DRAFT 4 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 groups 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 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. 1 Select your preset emergency call. See "Making a preset call" on page 81. 2 Press Send. An emergency call is now sent to the emergency location that has been programmed for your radio. 86 Operating in trunked mode DRAFT 4 Dialing an emergency call This feature is only available for radios with alphanumeric keys. 1 Dial *9. 2 Press 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 or PTT key. In this case, n is the press 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.

This section covers:
About the chargers Special conditions when using IS radios Before using the charger Charging the battery Maintaining battery life and performance Storing batteries Disposing of batteries 122 Charging and caring for batteries DRAFT 4 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 123 DRAFT 4 Special conditions when using IS radios Warning Use only a Tait-supplied, IS-approved battery with an IS radio. Fitting a battery that is not IS-approved exposes the customer to a risk of explosion which could cause serious injury or death. Do not charge the battery in a hazardous location. An explosion could cause serious injury or death. For detailed information about IS radios and how to identify them, see "Intrinsically Safe radios" on page 15. Before using the charger Warning Do not use the charger in a hazardous location. An explosion could cause serious injury or death. 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-circuit-
124 Charging and caring for batteries DRAFT 4 ing the battery contacts can heat up the conduc-
tive 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 26. 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). 77 F 25 C 50 F 10 C Charging and caring for batteries 125 DRAFT 4 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. 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. 126 Charging and caring for batteries DRAFT 4 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. 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 empty. on the radio display looks 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 127 DRAFT 4 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:
1 Desktop 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. 2 Place 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. 128 Charging and caring for batteries DRAFT 4 LED behavior If there is a battery in the charger when power is supplied to the charger, the LEDs behave as follows:
LED briefly steady steady steady Meaning The charger has been connected to a power supply. The battery is charging. Charging complete. Remove the battery, or leave it in the charger. The battery temperature is outside the normal charging range. Charging will start or resume once the temperature is within normal limits. No action is required. There is a fault. Contact your local regional Tait office. or flashing all off If the LEDs for all charger slots continuously flash orange, or red then orange, the multicharger itself may be faulty (e.g. the fan may be jammed or faulty). Consult your radio provider for advice. There is a fault. Contact your local regional Tait office. 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. Charging and caring for batteries 129 DRAFT 4 Removing the battery from the charger Desktop charger and multicharger: Lift the bat-
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. Very high: above 140 F (60 C) Very low: less than 4 F (20 C) Warning The operating temperature range for IS radios in hazardous locations is 4F to +104F
(20C to +40C). Charge the battery at a room temperature of between 50 F and 77 F (between 10 C and 25 C). This temperature range is the optimal charging range. Store batteries properly when not in use. See "Storing batteries" on page 131. 130 Charging and caring for batteries DRAFT 4 Cleaning the contacts of the battery Notice Do not scratch or scrape the contacts of the battery. If necessary, wipe the contacts of the battery with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt, oil or grease. 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 128. Disposing of batteries Run the battery flat before disposing of it. When disposing of the battery, be sure to do so in an environmentally sensitive manner. Please contact your radio provider for information on recycling programs in your area. See "Environmental responsibilities" on page 7 for more information.
