    Safety warnings Safe operation Warning: Switch the radio off at petrol filling stations or near flammable liquids or gases. Warning: Switch the radio off in the vicinity of explosive devices and blasting zones. Warning: Using a handheld microphone or a radio while driving a vehicle may violate the laws and legisla- tion that apply in your country or state.

  • Page 11: Radio Protection

    This device must only be used with authorized accessories and antennas. The operator must ensure that the minimum safe distance of 0.9m (35 inches) between persons and the antenna is maintained during transmissions. This minimum safe distance is based on the assumption that there is a duty cycle of 50% transmit mode to stand- by or receive modes.

  • Page 12: Getting Started

    Getting started This section provides a brief description of your radio’s basic operation. If you need further information, contact your radio provider. Radio controls The radio controls are the PTT key, volume control, on/off key, channel selection keys and function keys. Some keys may have functions assigned to both short and long key presses: a short key press is defined as less than one second, and a long key press is more than one second.

  • Page 16: Basic Operation

    Basic operation This section describes the basic operation of your radio, including turning the radio on and off, adjusting volume, selecting channels, making calls and receiving calls. Turning the radio on and off A long press of the on/off key turns the radio either on or off.

  • Page 17: Receiving A Call

    Transmit timer 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 red LED flashes and the radio gives three beeps. You must release the PTT before you can transmit again.

  • Page 18: Monitor

    Squelch The radio’s squelch allows the radio to unmute only when the strength of the incoming signal is above a predetermined threshold. This means that only signals of reasonable intelli- gibility are made audible. Monitor The monitor function is used to check that the channel is clear before you make a call.

  • Page 19: Voting

    radio unmutes and you can hear the call. Scanning resumes when the channel is no longer busy or the signalling is no longer valid. One or two priority scan channels may be set. These channels are scanned more often than other channels and are scanned periodically when a non-priority channel is busy.

  • Page 20: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting 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?

    Radio installation in gas or fuel tankers Special conditions must be observed when installing a radio in gas and fuel tankers. Consult your radio provider or Tait-accredited service centre for more details. Non-standard radio installations The installation U-bracket described in this guide has been designed so that there is enough airflow around the radio to provide cooling.

  • Page 26: Negative Ground Supply

    If a non-standard installation method is used, care must be taken that sufficient heat can be dissipated from the radio heatsink fins and the bottom surface of the radio chassis. 10mm (3/8 inch) mounting surface For this to be achieved, there must be a gap of more than 10mm (3/8 inch) between the bottom surface of the radio chassis and the mounting surface.

  • Page 32: Installing The Antenna

    Installing the antenna Install the external antenna according to the supplier’s instructions. Good quality 50 ohm coaxial cable must be used, such as RG58 or UR76. Caution: The cable should be routed in a manner that mini- mizes coupling into the electronic control systems of the vehicle.
  • Page 33 Installing the power cable One end of the power cable is connected to the vehicle battery and the other end plugs into the radio’s power connector. Power connector The power connector on 25W radios is different to the power connector on 40W/50W radios. The following tables explain the pin allocations for each power connector.
  • Page 34 Battery supply voltage This radio is designed to operate from a nominal 12V negative ground supply and may draw up to 8A of current (25W radios) or 15A of current (40W/50W radios). The radio will tolerate a supply voltage range of 10.8V to 16.0V at the radio. Caution: In vehicles with a supply voltage greater than 16.0V, such as many trucks, it is essential to...
