This icon is used to draw your attention to information that may
improve your understanding of the equipment or procedure.
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
10
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 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 rapidly
the further away the antenna is from your body.
■ Keep the antenna at least one inch (2.5cm) 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 recommended
11
by the FCC’s occupational/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
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:
■ United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of
Federal Regulations; 47 CFR §§ 1.1307, 1.1310, and 2.1093.
■ 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 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

Australia and New Zealand citizens band (476.4 to 477.4MHz)
AS/NZS 4365 deals with the use of frequencies in the 476.425 to
477.400 MHz band. Products capable of operating in this band
have been approved for operation in the UHF Citizens Band Radio
Service which is licensed in Australia by the ACMA
Radiocommunications (Citizens Band Radio Stations) Class
Licence and in New Zealand by the MED General User Radio
Licence for Citizens Band Radio. Operation is subject to conditions
contained within those licences.
Repeaters operate by receiving a transmission on one channel and
re-transmitting it on another. Operators are required to avoid
using local repeater input channels, which will be in the range of
31 to 38, unless it is intended to use the repeater facility, and to
avoid using local repeater output channels, which will be in the
range 1 to 8, at any time.
No voice transmissions are permitted on data channels 22 and 23.
Equipment meeting this standard will inhibit voice operation on
channels 22 and 23.
In Australia:
■ Except in an emergency, a CB transmitter must not be
operated on UHF channels 5 and 35.

Understanding the radio indicators
The status LED and the radio’s audible tones all combine to give you
information about the state of your radio. The most common way
the indicators work is described in the following sections.
The way these indicators behave may be affected by the way your
radio is programmed.

Audible tones
The radio uses a variety of beeps and tones to supplement the
information provided by the status LED. Your radio may also have
been programmed so that whenever you press a key, the radio
beeps to indicate whether or not the action is permitted:
■ permitted: short, medium-pitched beep
■ not permitted: long, low-pitched beep
Audible tones may have been disabled when your radio was
programmed, and a function key assigned to turn audible tones on
and off.
Disabling audible tones
Your radio’s audible tones include keypress tones, received-call
tones and warning tones.
To turn the audible tones on or off:
■ Press the assigned function key.
Accessing frequently used features
The top key and the function keys provide quick access to features
you use most often. These features are assigned to these keys
when the radio is programmed. See "Function key options" on
page 64 for a list of features that may have been assigned to the
top and function keys.
32
Turning the radio on and off
The radio may not turn on if your battery is very low.
■ Rotate the power/volume control switch clockwise to turn the
radio on.
Rotate the switch counterclockwise to turn the radio off.
After an IS radio is turned on, it takes about two seconds longer to
power-up than a non-IS radio.
Adjusting the volume
■ Rotate the power/volume control clockwise to increase the
speaker volume and counter-clockwise to decrease the volume.
The power/volume control also changes the volume of the radio’s
audible tones.
Extending battery life
Your radio may have two features that allow you to extend the
shift life of the radio battery:
■ economy mode, and
■ low power transmit mode.
Economy mode
Economy mode can be used when there is little or no activity on
the radio. When in economy mode, the radio cycles between the
receive state and a stand-by state, once there has been no activity
for a preset period. Receiving or sending a call returns the radio to
the fully active state.
To turn economy mode on or off:
■ Press the assigned function key.
33
Low power transmit
If you are using your radio in conditions where signal strength is
high, you can extend the shift life of your battery by transmitting
at low power.
While low power transmit is active, transmissions are made at low
power rather than at the preset power level. When the radio
transmits, the LED flashes red.
Some channels may be programmed to always transmit at low
power.
To override the power settings of the current channel:
■ Press the assigned function key.
34
Basic operation
This section covers:
■ Selecting a channel
■ Selecting a group
■ Checking that a channel is clear
■ Communicating directly with other radios
■ Activating the repeater before a call
■ Making a call
■ Receiving a call
■ Using voice inversion scrambling
■ Using encryption
■ Hearing faint and noisy signals
■ Using the radio in different repeater areas
■ Scanning a group of channels
35
Selecting a channel
In order to make and receive calls, you first need to select a
channel, using the channel selector. Each position on the channel
selector denotes a channel.
To select a channel:
■ Turn the channel selector clockwise or counterclockwise to the
required position.
Selecting a group
The channel selector can also be used to select groups. A group is
a collection of channels that are grouped together for either
scanning or voting.
To select a group:
■ Turn the channel selector clockwise or counterclockwise to the
required position.
Checking that a channel is clear
You or your user group may be segregated from other user groups
by special signaling. If an incoming call carries the special
signaling tones specific to you or your user group, your radio’s
signaling mute opens and you can hear the call. These tones may
not be audible.
The monitor function allows you to override any special signaling
on a channel, so that you can check that the channel is clear
before you make a call.
To activate monitor:
1 Press the assigned function key.
While monitor is on, the LED slowly flashes green.
2 Press the monitor function key again to turn monitor off.
Your radio may be programmed so that monitor turns off
automatically after a short time.
36
Communicating directly with other radios
You may be able to bypass the radio repeater and communicate
directly with another radio. This feature is known as ‘repeater
talkaround’. You can do this, for example, when you are out of
range of the repeater.
To activate repeater talkaround:
■ Press the assigned function key.
While repeater talkaround is on, the LED slowly
flashes orange.
To turn repeater talkaround off:
■ Press the function key again or change to another channel.
Activating the repeater before a call
A repeater access tone can be sent to activate the repeater before
a call is made, so that the start of the call is not lost.
To send a repeater access tone:
■ Press the assigned function key.
37
Making a call
To make a call to another radio or group of radios:
1 Select the required channel or group (see "Selecting a
channel" or "Selecting a group" on on page 36).
2 Check that the channel is clear (see "Checking that a channel
is clear" on page 36).
If the LED is glowing green, then the channel is busy and you
may not be able to transmit.
3 Once the channel is clear (the LED no longer glows), hold the
radio so that the microphone is about one inch (2.5 cm) from
your mouth.
4 Press and hold the PTT key to transmit.
5 Speak clearly into the microphone.
While you are transmitting, the LED glows red.
If the channel is transmitting at low power, the LED flashes red
(see on page 31).
6 Release the PTT key when you have finished talking.
Limiting call time
Your radio may have a transmit timer that limits the amount of
time you can transmit continuously.
When the transmit timer is about to expire, the LED flashes red
and the radio gives three beeps.
If the transmit timer has timed out, you must release the PTT
before you can transmit again.
Ending a call
You may be able to use the ‘disable monitor’ function to end your
current call. When disable monitor is activated, monitor is turned
off, and you can no longer hear the call.
To deactivate monitor and end a call:
■ Press the assigned function key.
38
Receiving a call
When there is valid activity on your radio’s currently selected
channel or group, the radio unmutes and you can hear the call.
If the incoming call contains special signaling that matches the
signaling programmed for your radio, your radio may give a
ringing tone.
Using voice inversion scrambling
Your radio may be programmed so you can turn on voice inversion
scramble. While scramble is on, transmissions are unintelligible to
any radio or equipment not correctly set to decipher the
transmission.
Both the transmitting and receiving radios must have scramble
activated in order to correctly decipher transmissions.
To turn scramble on and off:
■ Press the assigned function key.
39
Using encryption
To make communications with other users on your system
completely private, your radio may be able to encrypt outgoing
calls, using a confidential encryption code. The radio receiving your
call must have the same encryption code before it can decipher
your encrypted call.
Encrypting calls
You may be able to turn call encryption on and off on your radio.
While encryption is on, all outgoing calls are encrypted using an
encryption code.
Once you change the call encryption setting on a channel (on or
off), the setting on all other channels where call encryption is
selectable also changes.
To turn call encryption on and off:
■ Press the assigned function key.
Receiving an encrypted call
When you receive an encrypted call, your radio unmutes and you
can hear clear speech, so long as the code required to decrypt the
call is your radio’s encryption code.
If the codes are not the same, then the call remains unintelligible.
Call encryption does not need to be turned on for the radio to
decrypt a call.
40
Hearing faint and noisy signals
Your radio’s squelch mute (known as ‘squelch’) prevents you from
hearing faint or noisy calls on a channel. On occasions when you
want to hear everything that is being said on a channel, even if it
is hard to understand, you may be able to use the squelch override
function to force the mute open.
Squelch override cannot be activated when a group is selected,
and automatically turns off when you select a group or activate
background scan.
To turn squelch override on or off:
■ Press the assigned function key.
While squelch override is on, the LED slowly flashes green.
Using the radio in different repeater areas
Your radio may have a group of channels programmed as a voting
group. 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.
While voting is active, the LED glows orange.
Selecting a voting group
A voting group is selected in the same way as a channel. See
"Selecting a group" on page 36.
41
Scanning a group of channels
The scan function is used to monitor a group of channels for
activity. When there is activity on a channel in the group, the radio
stops on that channel. The radio then unmutes and you can hear
the call. Scanning resumes when the channel is no longer busy.
While the radio is scanning for activity, the LED glows orange.
The two types of scanning that may be available on your radio are:
■ standard scanning, and
■ background scanning.
Selecting a standard scan group
A standard scan group is selected in the same way as a channel.
See "Selecting a group" on page 36.
Activating background scanning
Background scan is turned on using an assigned function key.
When the function key activates background scan, the currently
selected channel automatically becomes a member of the
background scan group.
To activate background scan:
■ Press the assigned function key.
42
Making a call while scanning
If you want to make a call while your radio is scanning:
1 Press the PTT key to transmit.
If standard scan is active, your radio calls either the currently
selected channel or a programmed ‘home’ channel.
If background scan is active, your radio calls the channel that
was selected before background scan was activated, or the
channel on which it last received a call.
2 When the called party responds, proceed with your
conversation.
Suspending a channel from a scan group
If a channel is busy for a long time and you do not wish to hear
the conversation, you may be able to temporarily delete the
channel from the scan group using the ‘nuisance delete’ feature.
To temporarily delete a channel from a scan group:
■ Press the assigned function key.
When the scan group is next selected, the deleted channel is
again part of the scan group.
43
Making and receiving different types of calls
The types of calls available to your radio depend on the way in
which it is programmed and the way the radio system operates.
This section covers:
■ Making an individual or group call
■ Resending calls automatically
■ Receiving an individual or group call
■ Receiving a two-tone call
■ Calling a telephone or a remote device
■ Making one-touch preset calls
■ Making an emergency call
■ Using the lone worker emergency features
44
Making an individual or group call
You may be able to use your radio to make preset calls
to an individual or a specific group using special signaling known
as ‘Selcall’.
Making a preset individual or group call
A maximum of three preset individual or group calls can be
assigned to each channel. The preset calls are each assigned to a
function key.
To make a preset call:
1 Change to the desired channel.
2 Press the assigned function key.
Resending calls automatically
Your radio may have been programmed to resend individual and
group calls when they are not answered.
Your radio has two automatic callback features:
■ deferred calling, and
■ no acknowledgement retries
Deferred calling
When you attempt to make a call on a channel that is busy, the
radio can store and send the call once the channel is free. The
radio gives a low-pitched beep if the channel is busy, and then
gives two long, medium-pitched beeps at regular intervals until
the channel is free, and the call can be resent.
To cancel a deferred call:
■ Press any key.
No acknowledgement retries
When you send a call and there is no reply, the call is resent.
To cancel a call that is being resent:
■ Press any key.
45
Receiving an individual or group call
When a call is received that contains your radio’s identity, the
radio gives a ringing tone.
To accept a call:
■ Press the PTT key and begin speaking. If the call is a group call,
there is usually no need to respond.
Receiving a two-tone call
Two-tone signaling is used to call either individual or groups of
radios. When your radio receives a two-tone call that it can
decode, it beeps to indicate which type of two-tone call has been
received.
■ One long beep: a two-tone individual call has been received.
■ Two medium beeps: a two-tone group call has been received.
■ Three short beeps: a two-tone super group call has been
received. A super-group call is addressed to all radios in the
fleet.
To accept the call, press the PTT key and begin speaking.
Overriding two-tone signaling
The two-tone override function allows you to override two-tone
signaling on your current channel. When you activate two-tone
override, the radio’s mute opens and you can hear all two-tone
calls on the channel.
To turn two-tone override on or off:
■ Press the assigned function key.
While two-tone override is on, the LED slowly flashes green.
46
Calling a telephone or a remote device
DTMF is the tone-based system of the world’s telephone networks.
If your radio has access to a network that makes use of DTMF
tones, your radio may be able to make a call to a telephone or
send control codes to a remote device.
Your radio is able to make preset DTMF calls only.
Making a preset DTMF call
A preset DTMF call may be assigned to one of the function keys.
Different preset calls may be available on different channels.
To make a preset DTMF call:
1 Change to the channel you want.
2 Press the assigned function key.
Making one-touch preset calls
A one-touch preset call may be assigned to one of the function
keys. In this case, it is not necessary to change channels in order to
make the call.
The one-touch call may be an individual call, a group call or
aDTMF call.
To make a one-touch preset call:
■ Press the assigned function key.
47
Making an emergency call
You may be able to activate emergency mode by using an
assigned function key. The emergency function key may be
programmed for either a short key press or long key press.
Press the assigned function key and an emergency call is sent to
1
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. For your safety, the radio displays no signs that an
emergency call has been made.
When the radio is in emergency cycling mode, the transmitted
audio is always from the radio’s internal microphone, regardless of
whether an external speaker-microphone is installed.
2 Reset the radio to normal operation at any time by
turning the radio off and then on.
Alternatively, emergency mode may be programmed to end
after a fixed period of time, or your dispatcher may reset your
radio to normal operation.
Using a double key press
To avoid accidental use of the emergency function, the emergency
call may have been programmed with a ‘double keypress
activation’ option. The double keypress activation option is
programmed to be used with either a short or long press.
To make an emergency call using a double short press:
■ Short press the assigned function key twice within
three seconds.
To make an emergency call using a double long press:
■ Long press the assigned function key twice within five seconds.
48
Using the lone worker emergency features
Your radio may be programmed with ‘lone worker’ emergency
features, designed for people who work alone in potentially
hazardous areas. If you become incapacitated, the radio
automatically sends an emergency call to alert other users to your
situation, and then enters emergency mode.
While emergency mode is active, the radio may sound a series of
‘search alert’ beeps at the radio’s maximum volume. This gives
searchers an audible indication of your location. Once activated,
the search alert beeps continue until the radio is turned off and
then on again.
A lone worker emergency can be activated in one or more of the
following situations:
■ Key press: the radio has requested a response from the user at
a predetermined interval and the user has not responded.
■ Tilt: the radio is tilted more than a programmed angle, (a ‘man
down’ alarm).
■ Motion: the radio has not moved for a predetermined period of
time (a ‘no movement’ alarm).
49
Activating lone worker
To turn the lone worker feature on and off:
■ Press the assigned function key.
Your radio may be programmed so that lone worker is active as
soon as your radio is turned on.
Key press monitoring
Once lone worker is activated, the radio prompts you for a
response at regular intervals, by sounding a series of loud warning
beeps. Typically, this will happen every hour.
When you hear the warning beeps:
■ Press any key.
If you are unable to respond, the radio sends an emergency
call and activates emergency mode.
50
Man down monitoring
Warning The radio uses an accelerometer to accurately detect
motion. The accelerometer is calibrated when the radio is first
programmed, and must be tested at regular intervals to ensure
correct operation. Consult with your radio provider or system
administrator about a regular testing regime.
The man down alarm activates when the radio is tilted more than
a programmed angle, for example when you have been attacked
and are lying on the ground. If the radio remains in this position
for longer than a minute, it sounds a series of loud warning beeps.
When you hear the warning beeps:
■ Return the radio to an upright position.
If you are unable to do this, the radio sends an emergency call
and activates emergency mode.
No movement monitoring
The no movement alarm activates when the radio has been
stationary for a specified length of time. When this time elapses
and there has been no movement, the radio sounds a series of
loud warning beeps.
When you hear the warning beeps:
■ Move the radio.
If you are unable to do this, the radio sends an emergency call
and activates emergency mode.
51
Charging and caring for batteries
This section describes how to charge your Tait radio battery as well
as care for it, to ensure safe operation, maximum performance
and prolonged battery life.
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
52
About the chargers
Unless otherwise indicated, the charging advice and instructions
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 battery at a time.
■ Multicharger: Charges up to six batteries. It
can be mounted on a desk, on a wall, or in an
equipment rack.
■ Vehicle charger: Charges one battery at
a time while installed in a vehicle.
Multicharger safety information
Warning This device must be connected to an earthed mains
socket-outlet.
53
Special conditions when using IS radios
Warning Fit only an IS-approved battery to 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 detailed information about identifying IS radios, see
"Intrinsically Safe radios" on page 16.
Before using the charger
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 instructions 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-circuiting the battery contacts can heat up the
conductive 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 24.
54
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 optimal
charging range.
77°F
25°C
50°F
10°C
Charging only starts when the battery is between
32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).
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.
55
Vehicle charger only
It is safe to switch off the ignition while there is still a battery in
the charger. But 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 and making calls while charging (desktop charger and multicharger only)
Notice For best charging performance, switch off the radio
before placing it in the charger.
You can receive or make 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.
56
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 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.
Charging the battery
Charging a battery for the first time
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.
Charging a battery
Notice For best charging performance, switch off the radio
before placing it in the charger (desktop charger or multicharger
only).
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.
57
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.

■ Desktop charger and multicharger: Lift the battery/radio out of
the charger.
■ Vehicle charger: Pull up the top clip of the vehicle charger, 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 chargers and batteries.
■ 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 –22°F (–30°C)
■ 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 60.
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.
59
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 longer 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 57.
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 8 for more information.

Troubleshooting
If you are experiencing difficulty operating your radio, you may
find the following sections helpful. Consult your radio provider for
assistance, if necessary.
Warning TP8100 portable radios with the product code “T03–
20*” have FM IS approval. An IS portable radio 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.
For detailed information about IS radios and how to identify them,
see "Intrinsically Safe radios" on page 16.

When your radio won’t turn on
If the red LED on the radio does not light up when the radio is
turned on, it is probable that power is not reaching the radio.
Check the following:
■ Is the battery firmly attached to the radio?
■ Is the battery sufficiently charged?
■ Is the battery charger working properly?
If all appears to be in order, but your radio still fails to operate
properly, contact your radio provider for further assistance.
Troubleshooting your charger
Charger LEDs do not light up
Possible reason(s) and solution(s) include:
■ The power adaptor is not connected, or not turned on. Remove
power adaptor plug and refit.
■ The battery has not been detected. Check that the battery
contacts are clean and battery is seated correctly.
■ The charger contacts are stuck. Check that the charger
contacts move freely.

Software and Documentation, in any form. No
rights are granted to Licensee under this
Agreement by implication, estoppel or otherwise, except for those rights which are
expressly granted to Licensee in this Agreement. 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 Licensee’s 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 Licensee’s 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
Licensee’s 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
68
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 Licensee’s 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, noninfringement, 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 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.
Section 8 TERM AND TERMINATION
8.1. Licensee’s 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
69
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-embedded Software and associated
Documentation. Licensee shall pay all Tait
costs (on an indemnity basis) for the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement.
Section 9 CONFIDENTIALITY
Licensee acknowledges that the Software and
Documentation contain proprietary and Confidential Information valuable to Tait and are
Tait trade secrets, and Licensee agrees to
respect the confidentiality of the information
contained in the Software and Documentation.
Section 10 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
10.1. In no circumstances shall Tait be under
any liability to Licensee, or any other person
whatsoever, whether in Tort (including negligence), Contract (except as expressly provided
in this Agreement), Equity, under any Statute,
or otherwise at law for any losses or damages
whether general, special, exemplary, punitive,
direct, indirect, or consequential arising out of
or in connection with any use or inability of
using the Software.
10.2. Licensee’s sole remedy against Tait will
be limited to breach of contract and Tait sole
and total liability for any such claim shall be

copyright notice on the Software will not be
construed as an admission or presumption of
publication of the Software or public disclosure of any trade secrets associated with the
Software.
11.2. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Licensee
acknowledges that the Software may be
subject to the laws and regulations of the
jurisdiction covering the supply of the Designated Products and will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including export

its obligations under this Agreement, or
encumber or sell its rights in any Software,
without prior notice to, or consent of,
Licensee.
11.4. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall
be subject to and construed in accordance
with New Zealand law and disputes between
the parties concerning the provisions hereof
shall be determined by the New Zealand
Courts of Law. Provided however Tait may at
its election bring proceedings for breach of the
terms hereof or for the enforcement of any
judgment in relation to a breach of the terms
hereof in any jurisdiction Tait considers fit for
the purpose of ensuring compliance with the
terms hereof or obtaining relief for breach of
the terms hereof.
11.5. THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This
Agreement is entered into solely for the benefit of Tait and Licensee. No third party has the
right to make any claim or assert any right
under this Agreement, and no third party is
deemed a beneficiary of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any licensor or
supplier of third-party software included in the
Software will be a direct and intended thirdparty beneficiary of this Agreement.
70
11.6. SURVIVAL. Sections 4, 5, 6.3, 7, 8, 9,
10, and 11 survive the termination of this

of inconsistencies between this Agreement
and any other Agreement between the
parties, the parties agree that, with respect
to the specific subject matter of this Agreement, this Agreement prevails.
11.8. SECURITY. Tait uses reasonable means
in the design and writing of its own Software
and the acquisition of third-party Software in
order to limit Security Vulnerabilities. While
no software can be guaranteed to be free
from Security Vulnerabilities, if a Security
Vulnerability is discovered, Tait will take the
steps specified in Section 6 of this Agreement.
11.9. EXPORT. Licensee will not transfer,
directly or indirectly, any Designated Product,
Documentation or Software furnished hereunder or the direct product of such Documentation or Software to any country for which

part or parts of this Agreement shall be held
illegal or null and void by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, such
determination shall not affect the remaining
terms which shall remain in full force and
effect as if such part or parts held to be illegal or void had not been included in this
Agreement. Tait may replace the invalid or
unenforceable provision with a valid and
enforceable provision that achieves the original intent and economic effect of this Agreement.
