6 For your safety

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

Safety warnings used in this guideWithin this guide, the following conventions are used to alert you to important safety information:

Warning: There is a potential risk of death or serious injury.

Caution: There is the risk of minor or moderate injury to people.

Caution: “Caution” is used without the safety alert symbol when there is a risk of equipment damage or malfunction.

Radio frequency exposure informationFor 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 radioYou 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 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:

Note: 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.

For your safety 7

Controlling your exposure to RF energyThis radio emits 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.

■ While you are transmitting (talking or sending data) on the radio, you must ensure that there is always a distance of 0.9m (35 inches) between people and the antenna. This is the minimum safe distance.

■ Use the radio only with Tait-approved antennas and attachments, and make only authorized modifications to the antenna otherwise you could damage the radio and violate FCC regulations.

Website: For more information on what RF energy is and how to control your exposure to it, go to

■ 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 (FCC) 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 USAPart 15 of the FCC Rules imposes RF emission limits on electronic equipment to prevent interference to reception of broadcast services.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.

Note: Changes or modifications to this device that are not expressly approved by Tait Electronics Limited may make its use illegal.

Unapproved modifications or changes to radioThe 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 Electronics Limited. Failure to do so could invalidate compliance requirements and void the user’s authority to operate the radio.

Receiving a callWhen there is valid activity on your radio’s currently selected channel or group, the radio then unmutes and you can hear the call.

If the incoming call contains special signalling that matches the signalling programmed for your radio, the green LED flashes and your radio may give a ringing tone.

Receiving a text messageYour radio may be able to display received text messages in conventional mode. If programmed, the queuing icon (empty queue) or (message in queue) is always shown in the default display while in conventional mode.

Viewing a text messageWhen a text message is received, the radio sounds two short high-pitched beeps. If the radio is currently showing the default display, the message appears immediately.

To view a message that does not appear immediately:

1 Navigate to the default display (for example, press and hold Back).

2 Press Queue.

To delete the message, press Delete. The message Queue empty appears in the display.

If you want to leave the message in the queue, press Back.

Note: The conventional call queue only retains one message. If a new message is received while there is an old message left in the queue, the old message will be replaced.


Hearing faint and noisy signalsYour 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 intelligibility are made audible. To make faint and noisy signals audible, use the squelch override function to unmute the radio.

To activate squelch override, you may be able to either:

Using your radio in different repeater areasYour 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.

This channel is known as the “home” channel, and will be the channel you make and receive calls on. While voting is active, the amber LED glows and the scanning symbol appears in the display.

The section “Selecting a group” on page 43 explains how to select a group. A group can be either a voting or a scanning group.

Suspending a channel from a voting groupYou 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 deleted from group appears in the display.


Scanning a group of channelsThe scan function is used to monitor a programmed group of channels, looking for activity. While the radio is scanning for activity, the amber LED glows and the scanning symbol appears in the display. When activity is detected on a channel in the scan group, the radio stops on that channel. The amber LED begins flashing, the radio unmutes and you can hear the call. Scanning resumes once the channel is no longer busy.

The section “Selecting a group” on page 43 explains how to activate scanning.

Standard and background scanningThe two types of scanning that may be available on your radio are standard scanning, and background scanning. Background 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 scanningIf you wish to make a call while your radio is scanning:

1 Lift the microphone off the microphone clip.

2 Press the PTT key to transmit. If the amber LED is flashing, or background scan is active, your radio will now call the currently selected channel.

3 If standard scan is active and there has been no recent activity on the channel (the amber LED is glowing rather than flashing), then the channel that is called depends on the way your radio has been programmed. The possible options are:

— your radio calls a predetermined channel e.g. your dispatcher,

— your radio calls the channel where activity was last detected, or

— your radio calls the last free channel.

4 When the called party responds, proceed with your conversation.


Changing the background scan group assigned to a function keyYou can change the background scan group assigned to the function key programmed for group scanning or for scanning/nuisance delete.

1 Select Menu>Advanced>Set scan key.

2 In the Set Scan Key menu, scroll through the list of background scan groups until the group you want appears.

3 Press Select.

The message Scan key scans new group appears in the display.

The next time you activate background scan, the new group will be your background scan group.

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

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 scanning, 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 in the display.

Symbols and messages that may appear when changing group detailsThe following symbols may appear when viewing group membership details, adding or deleting channels from a group, or changing a group’s transmit or priority channels.

The following messages may appear when using nuisance delete to temporarily delete a channel from a group, when adding or deleting channels from a group, or changing a group’s transmit or priority channels.

Symbol Meaning

This channel is used to transmit on when there has been no recent activity. You cannot delete this channel (it will not appear under Delete channel).

This channel is the group’s first priority channel. You cannot delete this channel (it will not appear under Delete channel).

This channel is the group’s second priority channel. You cannot delete this channel (it will not appear under Delete channel).

There is more than one instance of this channel in the group (the channel will be scanned more often). If you delete this channel, the radio will attempt to delete all instances of the channel.

Message Meaning

Scanning not on

You cannot use nuisance delete to temporarily delete a channel from a group, as there is no group currently selected.

No channel captured

You cannot use nuisance delete to temporarily delete a channel from the group, as there is no channel currently captured (the amber LED is glowing and not flashing).

Not enough channels in group

You cannot use nuisance delete to temporarily delete the channel from the group, as the captured channel is the last remaining group member.


Cannot delete channel

You cannot use nuisance delete to temporarily delete the channel from the group. The captured channel may be the selected channel in a background scan group.

Cannot delete priority chan

You cannot use nuisance delete to temporarily delete the channel from the group, as the captured channel is a priority channel.

Only two channels in group

You cannot delete a channel from the group, as there would be only one group member left.

Dual radio operation (TM8260 only) 71

Dual radio operation (TM8260 only)The TM8260 can be installed and programmed as two radios, with one user-interface. This enables you to switch between the radios, and access different features and channels on those radios (for example, channels that operate on different frequency bands). You can also toggle modes that enable you to receive and transmit on both radios at the same time.

Each radio in a system may be identified by a unique name, which appears before all channel and group labels.

72 Dual radio operation (TM8260 only)

About the foreground and background radioThe TM8260 can be installed and programmed as two radios, that can be accessed via the user-interface. In such a dual-radio system, one radio is always at the foreground, and one at the background. If monitoring both radios (dual receive), the speaker volume of the background radio is quieter than the speaker volume of the foreground radio.

To access features on the background radio (such as change the channel), you must first change that radio to the foreground. See “Switching between radios” on page 75.

The foreground radio is either:

■ the radio currently showing in the display, or

■ the radio showing in larger text.

The background radio is the radio not showing in the display, or the radio showing in smaller text.


Dual radio display states and descriptionsThe following table lists various states of the radio display, and the implications for transmitting and receiving.

Display Description

The radio system will receive and transmit on the foreground radio only.

The radio system will receive on both radios, and transmit on the foreground radio only.

The radio system will receive and transmit on both radios.

Received signals on one radio will be transmitted on the other radio and vice versa. If initiating a transmission, the radio system will transmit on the foreground radio only.

Received signals on one radio will be transmitted on the other radio and vice versa. If initiating a transmission, the radio system will transmit on both radios.


Radio controls in a dual radio systemCertain radio controls and functions are global and apply to the radio system as a whole. The on/off key turns the entire radio system on or off. The volume control adjusts the volume of all received audio and indicators. Functions and menu options relating to the radio display and audible indicators are also global.

Many other functions and menu options apply to the foreground radio only. Examples include changing channels and zones, and toggling monitor. See “Switching between radios” on page 75.

You can switch between the various dual receive and transmit states using one or two function keys programmed for dual body mode and single body mode. If programmed for a single key, dual body mode is assigned to a short press and single body mode is assigned to a long press. The following diagram summarizes how to enable dual receive and dual transmit and how to return to single body mode.

Press the single body mode key to return to single receive and transmit at any time

Press the dual body mode key once to enable dual receive

Press the dual body mode key again to toggle between dual transmit and single transmit

Troubleshooting 119

TroubleshootingThe following topics are covered in this section:

■ when your radio won’t turn on

■ removing the microphone

■ reinstalling the microphone

■ removing the radio from the vehicle

■ checking version information

■ describing the radio’s audible tones

When your radio won’t turn onIf 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?

■ Is the power cable securely connected to the vehicle battery or power supply?

If all appears to be in order, then contact your radio provider for further assistance.

120 Troubleshooting

Removing the microphone1 Using your thumb or forefinger, lift up one

of the corners of the microphone grommet. Firmly (but gently) pull that corner until the seal comes away from the cavity.

2 Repeat to expose another corner.

3 Pull the exposed corners back and slide the grommet up the microphone cable to reveal the microphone plug.

4 Remove the plug from the microphone socket.

Caution: The microphone grommet must be installed when-ever the microphone is plugged into the microphone socket. When installing a microphone, follow the instructions in the section “Installing the micro-phone” on page 49.

Reinstalling the microphoneCaution: The microphone grommet must be installed when-

ever the microphone is plugged into the microphone socket.

1 Plug the microphone into the microphone socket.

2 Slide the microphone grommet along the microphone cord and push two adjacent corners of the grommet into the microphone socket cavity.

3 Squeeze the grommet and push the remaining corners into position.

4 Check that the grommet is seated correctly in the cavity.
