u Your radio does not require routine maintenance. However, it is a
sophisticated electronic device and should be treated with care.
u Clean the radio, accessories and charger weekly using a clean dry lint-free
cloth. When cleaning, do not use solvents, detergents, alcohol, aerosol sprays
or petroleum-based products.
u Clean the electrical contacts on the battery and charger weekly using a fibre
glass pencil, or the graphite tip of a type 4h (#4) or harder pencil.
u Do not put the radio and accessories in fluids.
u Do not drop the radio onto hard surfaces, place it down carefully.
u Do not use if the radio, antenna or accessories are damaged.
u Repairs and modifications must only be carried out by a Tait approved dealer.
u Always have the D-Clip or protective cover installed to protect the radio from
dust ingress and electrostatic discharges.
To maintain the optimum performance of the radio:
u Use only the supplied antenna.
u Use only the radio and accessories for their design purpose.
u Use only accessories that are approved by Tait Electronics Ltd.
u Avoid high temperatures. If the temperature exceeds 80ºC (176ºF) the radio
will make two short high-pitched beeps and will not work. Temperatures
above 90ºC (194ºF) cause permanent damage to the radio.
To maintain the optimum performance of the battery:
u Charge the battery as soon as the radio gives the ‘low battery’ warning.
u Short condition the battery weekly.
u Long condition the battery only for the following reasons: on first use,
if performance is poor, and after more than two weeks of storage.
u Do not charge a battery that has had little or no use.
u Do not leave charged batteries in the charger for more than a day.
u Turn the radio off when it is unattended for long periods.
u When transmitting, hold the radio microphone 25–50mm (1–2 inches) from your mouth.
u When transmitting, keep the antenna at least 25mm (1 inch) from any part of your
body, especially your face and eyes.
u Turn off the radio where radio waves could interfere with electronic devices.
u Turn off the radio at fuel/gas stations.
u Turn off the radio in an area where detonators/explosives are being used.
u Turn off the radio before boarding/leaving an aircraft and whilst on board an aircraft.
u Do not use the radio whilst driving vehicles or operating machinery.
u Do not use earphones or headsets at high volume levels.
u Do not transmit in frequency bands used by distress beacons, such as 406–406.1 MHz.
u Do not put the radio, battery or accessories in liquids as they will be damaged.
u Do not allow children to play with the radio; it is not a toy.
Hazardous Atmospheres
A hazardous atmosphere has the potential for fire or explosion from dusts, gases, liquids
and solids. Make sure of the following in hazardous atmospheres:
u Only use approved Intrinsically Safe (IS) radios, batteries and other accessories.
Refer to the service manual for a list of approved items.
u Do not use battery chargers in hazardous atmospheres.
u Turn off and do not use non-approved radios.
u Only use IS batteries with IS radios.
u Do not use damaged or cracked radios.
u Do not modify IS radios.
Electromagnetic Interference
Turn off the radio where radio waves could interfere with electronic devices. Some facilities
use equipment that is sensitive to Electromagnetic Interference such as: hospitals, medical
centres, aircraft and some industrial facilities. Only use your radio in these situations if the
radio is qualified for use in such areas.
Note: The warning below applies to FCC approved radios in 800 MHz and 900 MHz frequency bands:
FCC RF Exposure Limits
This product generates radio frequency energy during transmissions. It is class-
ified by the FCC as suitable for general population use in an uncontrolled ex-
posure environment. The following conditions apply to the use of this radio:
u It must only be used with authorised accessories and antennas.
u Do not exceed a duty cycle ratio of 20% transmit mode to standby or receive modes.
