1 For your safety

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

Radio frequency exposure information

For individual safety and to ensure compliance with the radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines of the
United States Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC), Industry Canada, and those from other
administrations, please read the following information before using this radio.

Using this radio

This radio should only be used for work-related purposes (it is not authorized for any other use) and when the user is
fully aware of, and can exercise control over, exposure to RF energy. To prevent exceeding FCC RF exposure limits,
the user must control the amount and duration of RF that they 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 exposure to RF energy

This radio emits radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves primarily when calls are made. RF is a form of elec-
tromagnetic 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 envir-
onments, 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 (2.5cm)
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 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:

Brief Declarations of Conformity appear on page 118 of this booklet. To download the formal declaration of con-
formity, go to www.taitradio.com/eudoc.

Interference with electronic devices

Some electronic devices may be prone to malfunction due to the lack of protection
from RF energy that is present when your radio is transmitting.

Examples of electronic devices that may be affected by RF energy are:

• aircraft electronic systems
• vehicular electronic systems such as fuel injection, 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 cir-
cuits in those devices will perform normally when the radio is transmitting.

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 (15cm) from the pacemaker while the radio is on
• use the radio on the side opposite to the pacemaker to minimize interference
• never carry the radio in a breast pocket.
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

Unless the radio is specifically certified for use in a potentially explosive atmo-
sphere, turn off the radio before entering such an atmosphere. An explosion could
cause serious injury or death. Examples of potentially explosive atmospheres

13

Tait International Ltd December 2019

 include filling stations, and any environment where there are flammable liquids,
gases, or dusts.

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 instruc-
tions. Interference with blasting operations could cause serious injury or death.

Radio installation and operation in vehicles

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.

Electromagnetic compatibility in European vehicles

In the European Community, radio equipment fitted to automotive vehicles is regulated by UNECE Regulation R10
Revision 5 and its amendments. The requirements of this regulation cover the electromagnetic compatibility of
electrical or electronic equipment fitted to automotive vehicles.

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
user’s authority to operate the radio.

Attaching of labels

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 per-
sonal 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 dam-
aged.

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

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 prop-
erty, read the important safety information supplied with the battery.

15

Tait International Ltd December 2019

Short-circuiting battery contacts

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 con-
ductive material and cause personal injury and/or damage to property.

16

Tait International Ltd December 2019

2 Before Using the Radio

This section provides an overview of the TP9500 DMR Portable Radio, describes the radio’s controls and indicators,
and explains how the radio menus are organized.

About Your Radio

DMR digital radios 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.
Differences may be noticed 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 the digital radio
removes the ‘noise’ from the call, so that only clear voice is audible.

Active Noise Cancellation

Active noise cancellation uses a secondary microphone on the back of the radio to actively filter out background noise
in loud environments. When safety features such as Loneworker Monitoring or Radio Monitor are activated, the

24

Tait International Ltd December 2019

listener may lose awareness of the noisy environment. Tait recommends users implement supplementary procedures
to account for this.

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 pro-
gressively worse when the user is in fringe areas or even slightly outside normal coverage areas.

What is audible on an analog channel

On analog channels, the radio may be programmed so that all conversations on a channel can be heard, or one user
group may be segregated from other user groups through special signaling. The special signaling is used to control the
muting and unmuting of radios, so that your radio is muted when other user groups are talking and unmuted for mem-
bers of your user group.
There are two muting controls that operate in your radio:
• signaling mute
• squelch

Signaling mute

The radio’s signaling mute only allows the radio to unmute if the incoming call carries the tones specific to your user
group. Your user group may use tones that are either audible, subaudible or both.

Squelch

The radio’s squelch allows the radio to unmute only when the strength of the incoming signal is above a pre-
determined threshold. This means that only signals of reasonable intelligibility are made audible.

About the Radio Controls

The radio controls are the PTT key, power/volume control, channel selector (does not apply in trunked mode), 3-way
selector control, scroll keys, selection keys, and function keys. Some keys have functions assigned to both short and
long key presses:
• a short key press is less than 0.75 s, and
• a long key press is usually more than 0.75 s.
The radio controls and their functions are described in the following sections.

Understanding Talkgroups
This feature is available for DMR digital channels only.
A talkgroup is a collection of radio users with whom to have private conversations. For example, a state's public
safety agencies could have the following talkgroups:
• Local talkgroups—used by a specific agency to communicate within their own local agency. It may even be
made up of a county of public safety officers.
• Regional talkgroups—used by large state agencies that have regional divisions.

48

Tait International Ltd December 2019

 • Statewide talkgroups—used by an agency to communicate with public safety members in other regions.
Statewide talkgroups, as their name suggests, enable public safety agencies to communicate with each other
from one end of the state to the other.
• Special event talkgroups—may be used to manage emergencies encompassing a large area, or even events
such as visits by heads of state.

Talkgroups are configured during set up and cannot be created by the radio user.

Talkgroups can be assigned to each channel, to allow a users to:

• initiate a call to a talkgroup by pressing PTT
• listen and respond to conversations on none, one or multiple talkgroups
The channel may be named to reflect its talkgroup association. When making a call, the talkgroup name will appear.
Your radio may also be programmed to show the Talkgroups menu which allows users to change the talkgroup they
want to call and listen to on the current channel.

Making a talkgroup call

1. Press the PTT key.

Changing a talkgroup

This option may not be available.

1. Press Menu and select Talkgroups.

Depending on how the radio is programmed, it may be possible to use a Quick Access menu to go to

3. Press the PTT key to make a call to the currently selected talkgroup.

Making a Call
The radio’s behavior when making a call changes depending on the type of channel selected.
Channels can be programmed for:
• DMR calls over a DMR network
• DMR calls between radios
• analog calls between radios
• analog calls over an analog network

49

Tait International Ltd December 2019

If the selected programmed channel is for calls over a network, the green LED indicates whether the network is act-
ive. By default, the network is inactive (green LED is off).
Initiating a call will activate the network which will remain active for a programmed time. While the network is active
(green LED glows), the call can be completed, and a new call can begin.
If the current channel is programmed for DMR or analog calls between radios (without a radio network), the green LED
indicates activity on the channel, i.e. whether someone is talking.
For all DMR calls (over the network or radio to radio), a go-ahead double-beep may sound after pressing the PTT key
(if programmed).
The radio may be programmed to ring or beep when a new DMR call is received.
DMR calls have an inactivity timeout. If a pause in the conversation exceeds the timeout, the next press of the PTT
key will establish a new call.

To make a call:
1. Select the required channel or scan group.

The desired zone may need to be selected first, then the channel or group from that zone.

2. On channels programmed for DMR or analog calls between radios (without a radio network): Check that
the channel is clear. If the LED is glowing green, the channel is busy and the radio may not be able to transmit.

3. Users should hold the radio so that the microphone is about one inch (2.5cm) from the mouth, and then
press the PTT key to transmit.

4. On a DMR channel: Wait for the go-ahead double-beep (if programmed).

5. Speak clearly into the microphone and release the PTT key when the conversation is over.

While transmitting, the LED glows red and the transmit icon appears on the display.

If the channel selector is turned while pressing the PTT key, the channel will change after the PTT
key is released.

Limiting call time

Your radio may limit the amount of time you can talk (transmit) continuously. This is known as the ‘transmit timer’ or
‘time-out timer’ and allows other radio users to make calls on that channel.
The message Transmit Timeout Imminent appears on the display.
If the transmit timer has timed out, you must release the PTT before you can transmit again.

Your radio may be configured with a lockout time which prevents you from immediately starting a new
transmission after the transmit timer has timed out.

Resending Calls Automatically

On an analog channel, your radio may have been programmed to resend individual and group calls when transmission
is refused because the channel is busy.
There are two automatic callback features:
• deferred calling
• no acknowledgment 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 waits until the channel is free to retry the call.

A deferred calling time limit may have been configured. Once the time limit has expired the radio will
no longer attempt to retry the call.

Any user interaction (such as pressing PTT) will cancel a deferred call.

No acknowledgment retries
When you send a call and there is no reply, the call is resent.
Any user interaction (such as pressing PTT) will cancel a call that is being resent.

Transmitting at Low Power

When low power transmit is turned on, appears on the display and calls are made at low power rather than at the pro-
grammed power setting.

Using the Radio in Different Repeater Areas

The 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 the radio moves in and out of different repeater coverage areas, the best
communication channel is automatically selected for use.
This channel is known as the ‘home’ channel, and will be the channel used to make and receive calls. While voting is
active, the scanning icon appears on the display.
The section Selecting a Scan or Voting Group explains how to select a group. A group can be either a voting or a
scanning group.

66

Tait International Ltd December 2019

Suspending a channel from a voting group
Users 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 voting group.
If the operation has been successful, the message Channel nuisance deleted appears on the display.

Scanning a Group of Channels

The scan function is used to monitor a programmed group of channels, looking for activity. While the radio is scanning
for activity, the scanning icon appears on the display. When activity is detected on a channel in the scan group, the
radio stops on that channel. The radio unmutes and the call can be heard. Scanning resumes once the channel is no
longer busy.
The section Selecting a Scan or Voting Group explains how to activate scanning.

Standard and background scanning

The two types of scanning that may be available on the radio are standard scanning, and background scanning. Back-
ground 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

To make a call while your radio is scanning:

1. Press the PTT key to transmit. If background scan is active, the radio will now call the currently selected
channel.

2. If standard scan is active and there has been no recent activity on the channel, then the channel that is
called depends on the way the radio has been programmed. The possible options are:

• the radio calls a predetermined channel e.g. the dispatcher,

• the radio calls the channel where activity was last detected, or
• the radio calls the last free channel.

3. When the called party responds, proceed with the conversation.

Suspending a channel from a scanning group

If a member channel of a scan group is busy for a long time and the user does not wish to hear the conversation, the
user may be able to use the function key programmed for nuisance delete to temporarily delete it from the scan group.

67

Tait International Ltd December 2019

When the scan group is next selected, or after the radio has been turned off and then on, the deleted channel is again
part of the scan group.
Alternatively, the function key programmed for scanning may be programmed so that a short key press turns on scan-
ning, and a long key press activates nuisance delete.
• Press and hold the function key programmed for scanning to remove the current channel from the scanning
group.
If the operation has been successful, the message Channel deleted from group appears on the display.

7 Operating in Trunked Mode

This section explains how the radio operates on a DMR (digital), MPT (analog) or dual-mode trunked network.

These features are controlled by software licenses (SFE) and may not be available with your radio.

Your radio must have trunking functionality programmed before it can operate in DMR or MPT trunked
mode.

This section covers:

Checking that your Network is Available
Changing the Network
Making a Call Using the Address Book
Making a Preset Call
About Trunked Zones and Workgroups
About Emergency Operation
Dialing a PABX Number
Dialing a PSTN Number
Receiving a Call

Checking that your Network is Available

Check that the orange LED is flashing and the network icon appears on the display. These are the indications that the
radio has access to a trunked network.
If the network icon is flashing and No service appears on the display, the radio is attempting to access the trunked
network. If this icon remains flashing, the radio may be out of the network coverage area.
If Limited service appears on the display, one of the network sites or the connection between the network sites has
been interrupted. Users can still make calls to radios covered by the same site but not to radios on other sites.

71

Tait International Ltd December 2019

Changing the Network
The radio may be programmed to operate in up to four completely separate trunking networks, either DMR (digital),
MPT (analog) or both (dual mode). Users may wish to change networks because they are out of the network coverage
area, or they need to have access to another trunking network.
To change the radio’s operating network, users may be able to either use the main menu or dial the new network using
the alphanumeric keys.

Changing the radio’s workgroup may also change the network in which users are operating.

2. Press Send or the # or PTT key.

While the call is being setup, it can be canceled by pressing Cancel.

About Trunked Zones and Workgroups

Trunked zones and workgroups are used to manage the calls on the trunked system. Zones, if used, 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 the radio belongs to a workgroup, it is said to be ‘subscribed’, and users receive all calls directed to that group
of users. A group’s members are dynamic, in that a group only contains radios that are currently registered on the sys-
tem and subscribed to the same group.

The radio may be programmed to use different names for a ‘zone’ and ‘workgroup’. For example, ‘dis-
trict’ or ‘area’ may be used in place of zone, and ‘role’ or ‘group’ may be used in place of workgroup.

Selecting a zone
1. Press Menu and select Set zone.

2. In the Set zone menu, scroll through the list of zones until the desired zone appears.

3. Press Select.

4. Check that the network icon appears on the display.

73

Tait International Ltd December 2019

Automatic zone selection
The radio may be configured to change zones automatically based on a user location.
Selecting a zone manually as described above will end automatic mode, so the automatic mode icon will dis-
appear and the manual mode icon will appear on the display.

The radio may be configured to use a timer or a function key to return to automatic mode.

Selecting a workgroup
1. Press Menu and select Set workgroup.

2. In the Set workgroup menu, scroll through the list of workgroups until the desired workgroup appears.

3. Press Select.

4. Check that the network icon appears on the display.

Making a call to a workgroup

Different types of calls may be associated with user workgroups. These calls can be any types of calls.
To make a call to a workgroup:

1. Select the required zone. See Selecting a zone.

2. Select the required workgroup. See Selecting a workgroup.

3. Press the PTT key, and a call to that workgroup is made.

Dialing a workgroup call

This feature is only available for radios with alphanumeric keys.

It may be possible to dial workgroup calls, if the number associated with the workgroup is known.

1. Dial w, where w is the number of the workgroup.

If the workgroup call number is the same as a call to another radio, then the user needs to dial a leading 0. For
example, dial 23# to call radio 23 and dial 023# for workgroup call number 23.

2. Press Send or the # or PTT key.

While the call is being setup, users can cancel the call by pressing Cancel.

Selecting the homegroup

‘Homegroup’ is the workgroup in which the radio usually operates. To return to the homegroup at any time, users may
be able to use the main menu, or an allocated function key.

74

Tait International Ltd December 2019

Using the Main menu

scanning is active, the radio will receive activity from any subscribed groups in the My Workgroups list.

To activate scanning:
1. Press Menu and select Scanning.

2. Scroll to On (or Off) and press Select.

About Emergency Operation

In an emergency, users may be able to summon help by sending an emergency call. After making the call, the radio
may be programmed to enter emergency mode. While emergency mode is active, the radio may cycle between
receive and transmit, so that the dispatcher or the called party can hear any activity near the 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 a radio, users may be able to either:
• use a function key programmed for emergency mode
• make an emergency call using
• the address book (see Making a Call Using the Address Book)
• a workgroup (see Making a call to a workgroup)
• a preset (see Making a Preset Call)
• dial the emergency call using the alphanumeric keys

75

Tait International Ltd December 2019

Dialing an emergency call

Dialing 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 the radio.

If users wish to send an emergency call to another radio, they may be able to dial *9*n then press the
# or PTT key. In this case, n is the radio unit number or group number users wish to send the emer-
gency call to and may be a two- or three-digit number.

Activating emergency mode

Users can activate emergency mode using a function key programmed for emergency mode. Once emergency mode
is activated, the radio makes an emergency call to a dispatcher or some other predetermined location. The radio then
enters emergency mode.
While emergency mode is active, the radio may cycle between receive and transmit, so that the dispatcher can hear
any activity near the radio.
The radio may send an emergency alarm status before the call, and an emergency end alarm status after the call.
The radio may only send an emergency alarm status and then remain in emergency mode, where any call made will
be made as an emergency call until the user cancel's emergency mode.

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.

11 Encryption

This section describes how to use encryption to make users' communications completely private.

This feature is controlled by a software license (SFE) and may not be available with the radio.

This section covers:

About Encryption
Encrypting Calls
Making an Encrypted Call
Receiving an Encrypted Call

About Encryption
The encryption feature is available for digital and dual-mode networks only.
To make communications with other users on a users' system completely private, the users' radio may be able to
encrypt outgoing calls, using a confidential encryption key. The radio receiving a users' call must have the same
encryption key installed before it can hear an encrypted call.

Encrypting Calls
The radio may be able to turn encryption on and off. While encryption is on, outgoing calls are encrypted on networks
programmed for encryption, and the encryption icon remains in the display.

This setting only affects outgoing calls. Incoming calls will still be decoded by the radio so long as the key required to
decode the call is stored in the radio.

To turn encryption on or off:

1. Press Menu and select Security > Encryption. (Depending on how the radio is programmed, users may
be able to press a function key to turn encryption on and off.)

2. Scroll to On (or Off) and press Select.

The message Encryption activated (or deactivated) appears in the display.

If a user attempts to transmit with encryption turned on but they don’t have any keys loaded, the mes-
sage Key fail appears.

98

Tait International Ltd December 2019

Making an Encrypted Call
1. Select the desired network to operate on.

2. Check that encryption is on (encryption key is showing in the display).

3. Press and hold the PTT key to transmit.

While transmitting, the LED glows red and appears in the display.

If users transmit or receive an unencrypted call on an encrypted network, disappears and the radio

may be programmed to issue an audible alert.

Receiving an Encrypted Call

When receiving encrypted call, the radio unmutes and clear speech can be heard, so long as the key required to
decode the call is stored in the radio.
If the key required to decode the call is not stored in the radio, then the radio remains muted and the message Key fail
appears.

If users transmit or receive an unencrypted call on an encrypted network, the encryption key icon dis-
appears and the radio may be programmed to issue an audible alert.

Removing Encryption Keys from the Radio

It may be possible for users to delete encryption keys from their radio.

When emergency mode is activated, or when the radio is immobilized (‘inhibited’),

encryption keys may be automatically deleted from the radio.

If the encryption keys are deleted, the message Key fail appears and a warning tone will periodically
sound. The message Cannot transmit will be displayed if the user tries to transmit.

Turning On Active Noise Cancellation

Active noise cancellation uses a secondary microphone on the back of the radio to actively filter out noise in loud
environments, making it easier for recipients to discern the speech of the talking party who is in a noisy environment.
Active noise cancellation can be left on regardless of environment. However, when safety features such as Lone-
worker Monitoring or Radio Monitor are activated, the listener may lose awareness of the noisy environment. Tait
recommends users implement supplementary procedures to account for this.
The complementary feature of microphone sensitivity allows the internal and external microphones to be configured to
suit the type of environment the user is in, further improving audio quality. When active noise cancellation is enabled,
sensitivity should be decreased. In a quiet environment, increasing the sensitivity is suggested.
For best results, Tait recommends holding the radio 2.5 - 5 cm (1 - 2 inches) from the mouth and speaking directly into
the radio speaker/mic.

To turn active noise cancellation on or off:

1. Press Menu and select Radio settings > Functions > Noise cancellation.

104

Tait International Ltd December 2019

 Depending on how your radio is programmed, you may be able to press a function key to toggle active
noise cancellation on and off.

2. Scroll to either On or Off and press Select.

Covering the microphone on the back of the radio may reduce the effectiveness of the function.

Turning on Backlighting
If configured, whenever a key is pressed or a call is received, the keypad and display will light up automatically. Back-
lighting only remains on for a few seconds, unless there is further radio activity. When backlighting is turned on, it
remains on until the setting is changed to Off, regardless of radio activity.

Before Using the Charger
Check the battery label and charger label to see if the charger is compatible with the battery. See also About the Char-
gers"About the Chargers" on page 107

Handle the battery safely. Failure to observe the following handling recom-
mendations could result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.

• Before using a Li-ion battery, read the Li-ion Battery Safety Information (MPD-00002-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 to the radio, 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.
• Do not obstruct the vent hole(s) on the battery. If the vent on the battery is obstructed the battery may explode,
causing personal injury and/or equipment damage. If the vent on the radio is obstructed, audio quality and/or
key function may deteriorate and radio seals may be damaged.

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.

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 the battery:

• Before beginning to charge the battery, ensure 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.

Charging only starts when the battery is between 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).

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.

109

Tait International Ltd December 2019

Leaving the Battery on Charge
A battery/radio can be left in the charger once charging is complete. Leaving a battery in the charger will not over-
charge or damage it.
A battery/radio can be removed from the charger at any time without harming the battery, the radio, or the charger.
When the battery/radio is returned to the charger, charging is automatically resumed.

Vehicle chargers 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 Calls while Charging

Does not apply to battery-only vehicle chargers

Notice For best charging performance, switch off the radio before placing it in the charger.

Calls can be received while the radio is in the charger, but radio performance may be degraded. If the radio is removed
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 recom-
mences 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 avail-
able in the battery

Low Battery Warning

Notice Do not allow a radio battery to fully discharge every time it is used, or the service life of the bat-
tery will be shortened.

When the battery is low, the radio provides warnings in the following ways:
• The battery symbol on the radio display looks empty.
• The status LED on the radio slowly flashes red.
• A high-pitched beep sounds.
The battery should be recharged or replaced as soon as possible.

110

Tait International Ltd December 2019

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 turns off. Turn off the radio.

Inserting the Radio into the Vehicle Charger

1. Place the radio in the charger with the battery attached.

When the portable radio is used inside a vehicle, radio performance is degraded.
Use a mobile radio for all critical communications. If the portable radio must be left
switched on while it is in the charger, removing the radio from the charger will
improve radio performance. Check your local regulations about using a portable
radio in a vehicle.

2. Firmly press the retention bar towards the radio.

If the larger battery is attached to the radio, there will be an audible click as the catches engage. If the
smaller battery is attached to the radio, there will be two audible clicks as the catches engage. If the
catches do not engage, remove the radio. Press once firmly on the release bar, then try again.

Charging a Battery

Charging a Battery for the First Time

Charging a Battery

Notice For best charging performance, switch off the radio before placing it in the charger (not for bat-
tery-only vehicle charger).

• Desktop charger: Connect the charger to the correct Tait power adaptor.
• 6-way charger and vehicle charger: Power on the charger.

Initially, all three LEDs are lit for 2 seconds.

111

Tait International Ltd December 2019

 • Place just a battery in the charger, or a radio with a battery attached (desktop charger or 6-way charger 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.

When charging is complete, the green LED stays lit.

LED Behavior
If there is a battery in the charger when power is supplied to the charger, the LEDs behave as follows:

Meaning

The charger has been connected to a power supply.

(briefly)

The battery is charging.

(steady)

Charging complete. Remove the battery, or leave it in the charger.

(steady)

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 by you.

(steady)
There is a fault. Contact your dealer.

or If the LEDs for all charger slots continuously flash orange, or red then orange, the char-
ger itself may be faulty (e.g. the 6-way charger fan may be jammed). Contact your
dealer.

(flashing)

There is a fault. Contact your dealer.

(all off)

If the charger does not behave as expected:

• Make sure the radio or battery is seated properly in the charger. For the vehicle charger, see also Inserting the
Radio into the Vehicle Charger.
• Check that the charger is properly plugged into the originally supplied power supply.
• 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.

112

Tait International Ltd December 2019

Removing the Battery from the Charger
• Desktop charger and 6-way charger: Lift the battery/radio out of the charger.
• Battery-only vehicle charger: Pull up the top clip of the vehicle charger, and then lift out the battery.
• Vehicle charger: Press down once firmly on the release bar at the top of the vehicle charger, and then lift out
the radio.
A battery/radio can be removed from the charger at any time without harming the battery, the radio, or the charger.
When the battery/radio is returned to the charger, charging is automatically resumed. A battery/radio can also be left
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 –4°F (–20°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.
• Wipe excess moisture and dirt from the radio, radio contacts and battery contacts before charging the battery.
• Store batteries properly when not in use. See Storing Batteries.

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 batteries to about 30% if storing for longer than one month.
• Store in a cool dry place.
Batteries that have been stored for any length of time must be charged before being used. See Charging a Battery.

Disposing of Batteries

Run the battery flat before disposing of it. When disposing of the battery, be sure to do so in an envir-
onmentally sensitive manner. Please contact your radio provider for information on recycling pro-
grams in your area. See Environmental Responsibilities on page 1 for more information.

14 Troubleshooting

This section describes troubleshooting procedures and basic maintenance.

If you are experiencing difficulty operating your radio, you may find the following sections helpful. Consult your radio
provider for assistance, if necessary.

This section covers:

The Radio Won't Turn On

Identifying the Radio's Audible Tones

Viewing Radio Information

General Care

The Radio Won't Turn On

If the radio LED doesn’t light up red briefly when the radio is turned on, power is likely 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 the radio still fails to operate properly, contact your radio provider for further assist-
ance.

Identifying the Radio's Audible Tones

The radio’s audible tones can help you identify a potential problem. See Audible Tones.
