3 Getting started This section gives an overview of your DMR radio, describes the radio’s controls and indicators, and explains how the radio menus are organized.
About your DMR digital radio Your DMR digital radio 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.
What you hear on an analog channel On analog channels, your radio may be programmed so that you hear all conversations on a channel, or your user group may be segregated from other user groups by using special signaling. The special signaling is used to control the muting and unmuting of your radio, so that your radio is muted when other user groups are talking and unmuted for members of your user group.
About the radio controls The radio controls are the PTT key, power/volume control, channel selector, 3-way selector control (optional), 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 one second, and ■ a long key press is more than one second. The radio controls and their functions are described in the following sections.

About the chargers Unless otherwise indicated, the charging advice and instructions in this document apply to all chargers. The following chargers are available for your Tait radios and batteries: Chargers for intrinsically safe (IS) and nonincendive (NI) batteries contain circuitry for the protection of IS/NI batteries. These chargers are marked with an IS circle logo . IS/NI radios are also marked with an IS circle logo . IS/NI batteries are identified on their labels.
6-way charger safety information Warning This device must be connected to an earthed mains socket-outlet. Norsk (no): Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt. Suomi (fi): Laite on liitettävä suojamaadoituskoskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan. Svenska (sv): Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag.
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 chargers" on page 161. Warning Handle the battery safely. Failure to observe the following handling recommendations could result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
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 your battery: ■ ■ Before you begin to charge your battery, make sure that the battery temperature is close to the room temperature in which the battery is to be charged.
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.
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 available in the battery. Low battery warning Notice Do not allow a radio battery to fully discharge every time you use it, or you will shorten the service life of the battery.
Inserting the radio into the vehicle charger 1 Place the radio in the charger with the battery attached. Warning 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.
Charging a battery for the first time Fully charge a battery before using it for the first time. The red LED stays lit while the battery charges. Charging a battery Notice For best charging performance, switch off the radio before placing it in the charger (not for batteryonly vehicle charger). 1 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.
LED behavior If there is a battery in the charger when power is supplied to the charger, the LEDs behave as follows: Meaning briefly The charger has been connected to a power supply. The battery is charging. steady Charging complete. Remove the battery, or steady leave it in the charger. ■ 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. ■ There is a fault. Contact your dealer.
