Important information

Basic servicing precautions

Tait Orca 5000 portable radios require specialised servicing techniques and should only be serviced at an approved Tait service centre equipped with the necessary facilities.

Figure A-5: Typical anti-static bench setup

Warning!

Repairs attempted with incorrect equipment or by untrained personnel may result in permanent damage.

Standard anti-static procedures should be followed; a typical setup is shown in Figure A-5.

If in doubt, contact Tait Electronics Ltd or your nearest Tait dealer.

conductive rubber

bench mat

metal frame

Torx head 1.8x5 mm screws should be removed using the supplied Torx T6 driver. When replacing these screws, set the driver to 2in.lb (0.23Nm).

Caution: CMOS devices

This equipment contains CMOS devices, which are susceptible to damage from static charges. Care when handling these devices is essential. For correct handling procedures, refer to manufacturers’ data books covering CMOS devices, such as Philips Data Handbook

Covering CMOS Devices or Motorola CMOS Data Book Section 5 (Handling Procedures).

Screw head types

Torx recess head screws and Pozidriv recess head screws require the correct sized driver to achieve best performance. Most of the screws in Tait Orca 5000 portable radios are Torx head screws, and so a Torx T6 driver bit is supplied as part of the service kit. Some earlier radios have Pozidriv screws.

Pan head Pozidriv M2x8 mm and M2x5 mm screws should be removed using a number 1 Pozidriver. When replacing these screws, set the driver to 2in.lb (0.23Nm).

For information on programming Tait Orca 5000 portable radios, refer to:

■ the Tait Orca Trunked Programming Appli-

cation User’s Manual or the online help;

■ the Tait Orca Conventional Programming

Application User’s Manual or the online

help.

The User’s Manuals are on the TOP Programming Utilities (TPU) CD-ROM, which is included, together with this manual, as part of the calibration service kit.

Calibrating

For information on calibrating Tait Orca 5000 portable radios, refer to:

■ the Tait Orca Calibration Application User’s

Manual or the online help.

The User’s Manual is on the TOP Programming Utilities (TPU) CD-ROM, which is included, together with this manual, as part of the calibration service kit.

Test facilities

Standard test facilities provide a way of testing the radio’s functions independently of normal radio operation. See Part C: Diagnostics and fault finding for a description of the test facilities available for Tait Orca 5000 portable radios.

Troubleshooting

If you are experiencing difficulty operating your Tait Orca portable radio check the following items:

■ Is the battery firmly attached to the radio?

■ Is the battery sufficiently charged?

■ Is the battery charger working properly?

■ Is the antenna damaged?

If all appears to be in order but your radio still fails to operate properly, consult your local Tait dealer for assistance.

Basic maintenance

Your Tait Orca portable radio requires no regular maintenance other than ensuring that the battery has sufficient charge and that no damage has occurred to the antenna or the battery pack.

General care

■ Wipe the battery contacts, accessory

connector contacts and radio display with a dry lint-free cloth to remove any dirt, oil or grease.

■ Use a cloth dampened with clean water to

clean the radio’s case and display lens, but do not immerse the radio in fluids.

■ Do not allow the radio to come into

contact with detergents, alcohol, aerosol sprays or petroleum-based products as they may permanently damage the case.

■ Avoid high temperatures. If the radio

overheats, it will cease to function. You will hear two short high-pitched beeps.
