Test facilities
Standard test facilities provide a way of testing
the radio’s functions independently of normal
radio operation. See Part C: Diagnostics and
fault finding for a description of the test facili-
ties available for Tait Orca 5000 handporta-
bles.
Basic maintenance
Your Tait Orca handportable requires no
regular maintenance other than ensuring that
the battery has sufficient charge and that no
damage has occurred to the antenna or the
battery pack.
General care
■ Wipe the battery contacts, accessory
connector contacts and radio display with
a dry lint-free cloth to remove any dirt, oil
or grease.
■ Use a cloth dampened with clean water to
clean the radio’s case and display lens, but
do not immerse the radio in fluids.
■ Do not allow the radio to come into
contact with detergents, alcohol, aerosol
sprays or petroleum-based products as
they may permanently damage the case.
■ Avoid high temperatures. If the radio
overheats, it will cease to function. You
will hear two short high-pitched beeps.
Troubleshooting
If you are experiencing difficulty operating
your Tait Orca handportable check the follow-
ing items:
■ Is the battery firmly attached to the radio?
■ Is the battery sufficiently charged?
■ Is the battery charger working properly?
■ Is the antenna damaged?
If all appears to be in order but your radio still
fails to operate properly, consult your local
Tait dealer for assistance.
