For your safety

Before using your radio, please read the following important safety and compliance information.

Safety warnings used in this guide

Within this guide, the following conventions are used to alert you to important safety information:

Warning: There is a potential risk of death or serious injury.

Caution: There is the risk of minor or moderate injury

to people.

Caution: “Caution” is used without the safety alert symbol when there is a risk of equipment damage or malfunction.

Radio frequency exposure information

For your own safety and to ensure you comply with the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines, please read the following information before using this radio.

Using this radio

You should use this radio only for work-related purposes (it is not authorized for any other use) and if you are fully aware of, and can exercise control over, your exposure to RF energy. To prevent exceeding FCC RF exposure limits, you must control the amount and duration of RF that you and other people are exposed to.

For your safety 7

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 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 the radio radiates more energy when it is transmitting than when it is receiving.

■ While you are transmitting (talking or sending data) on

the radio, you must ensure that there is always a distance of 0.9m (35 inches) between people and the antenna. This is the minimum safe distance.

■ Use the radio only with Tait-approved antennas and

attachments, and make only authorized modifications to the antenna otherwise you could damage the radio and violate FCC regulations.

Website: For more information on what RF energy is and how to control your exposure to it, go to

www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html.

8 For your safety

■ American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute

of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992

■ Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)

C95.1-1999 Edition.

This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors of up to 50% talk to 50% listen.

Radio frequency emissions limits in the USA

Part 15 of the FCC Rules imposes RF emission limits on electronic equipment to prevent interference to reception of broadcast services.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.

Checking that a channel is clear

You or your user group may be segregated from other user groups by special signalling. If an incoming call carries the special signalling tones specific to you or your user group, your radio’s signalling mute opens and you can hear the call. These tones may not be audible.

The monitor function may allow you to override any special signalling on a channel, so that you can check that the channel is clear before you make a call.

Note: Your radio may be programmed to activate monitor

whenever the microphone is off the microphone clip.

To activate monitor, you may be able to either:

■ remove the microphone from the microphone clip,

■ use a programmed function key, or

■ use the Main menu.

Activating monitor by using a function key

About talkgroups and scan groups

A trunked radio system may consist of a many fleets of radios, each with a number of talkgroups and scan groups.

A talkgroup consists of radio users either within the same fleet, or across multiple fleets. A scan group is a group of talkgroups.

When your radio belongs to a talkgroup or scan group, it is said to be “subscribed”, and you receive all calls directed to that group of users.

The diagram below shows a typical trunked radio system with fleets, talkgroups and a scan group.

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.

After making the call, your radio may be programmed to enter emergency mode. While emergency mode is active, your radio may cycle between receive and transmit, so that your dispatcher or the called party can hear any activity near your radio.

To activate emergency mode, you may be able to:

■ use a function key programmed for emergency mode, or

■ use a hidden switch.

Receiving a call

When you receive a call, your radio displays the caller’s identity and responds in one of two ways, depending on the way it was programmed and the way your network operates.

■ On-air call setup: The radio gives a ring and automatically

accepts the call. The symbol appears in the display.

■ Full off-air call setup (FOACSU): When a call is received,

the radio rings like a telephone. To accept the call, press Answer. The radio gives a beep

and the symbol appears in the display. You may also be able to accept the call if you briefly press the PTT key or lift the microphone or hand-held control head off the clip.

Once the symbol appears, you can proceed with the call, as follows:

1 Hold the microphone about 5cm (2 inches) from

your mouth.

2 Press and hold the PTT key to transmit. 3 Speak clearly into the microphone and release the PTT

key when you have finished talking. While you are transmitting, the

red LED glows and the transmit symbol appears in the display.

4 End the call by placing your microphone back onto its

hook or by pressing Clear. The network may also end the call if neither you nor the other party transmits for a predetermined time or if your call time limit is exceeded.

Your radio may be programmed so that you are able to change call queuing to “unanswered”. Unanswered call queuing means that all status and text messages are immediately queued. Incoming voice calls are only queued if they are unanswered. An unanswered call is one that is ended by the radio making the call before the radio receiving the call has responded in any way.

If your radio has alphanumeric keys, you may be able to change your call queuing setting using the keypad.

To activate call queuing:

■ select Menu> Radio settings>Call settings> Call queuing

and choose On, or

■ dial *48 then press the or PTT key.

The message Call queuing activated appears.

To change call queuing to unanswered call queuing:

■ select Menu> Radio settings>Call settings> Call queuing

and choose Off, or

■ dial #48 then press the or PTT key.

The message Call queuing deactivated appears.

About status messages

A status message is sent to another party to indicate your current activity or location, such as “en route” or “at lunch”. If the radio receiving your message has been programmed with the same status messages, it will decode and display your message. If you receive a status message, the message is automatically queued, since a response is not expected.

Troubleshooting

The following topics are covered in this section:

■ when your radio won’t turn on

■ removing the microphone

■ reinstalling the microphone

■ removing the radio from the vehicle

■ describing the radio’s audible tones

When your radio won’t turn on

If the red, green and amber LEDs on the control head do not light up when the radio is turned on, it is likely that no power is reaching the radio. Check the following:

■ Is the power connector firmly plugged into the rear of

the radio?

■ Are the in-line fuses in good condition?

■ Is the power cable securely connected to the vehicle bat-

tery or power supply?

If all appears to be in order, then contact your radio provider for further assistance.

Removing the microphone

Using your thumb or forefinger, lift up one of the corners of the microphone grommet. Firmly (but gently) pull that corner until the seal comes away from the cavity.

2 Repeat to expose another corner. 3 Pull the exposed corners back and slide the grommet up

the microphone cable to reveal the microphone plug.

4 Remove the plug from the microphone socket.

Reinstalling the microphone

Caution: The microphone grommet must be installed when-

ever the microphone is plugged into the microphone socket.

1 Plug the microphone into the microphone socket. 2 Slide the microphone grommet along the microphone

cord and push two adjacent corners of the grommet into the microphone socket cavity.

3 Squeeze the grommet and push the remaining corners

into position.

4 Check that the grommet is seated correctly in the cavity.
