Notes:

1. The complete Tait Orca product code

standard can be downloaded from the

technical support Website:

http://www.taitworld.com/support

2. In this manual, when the term TOP x is

used (e.g. TOP A or TOP B), it indicates the

specific frequency band. TOP A will there-

fore refer to an A band Orca, and TOP B to

a B band Orca.

Operating instructions

A user’s guide is available for each radio.

Copies can be obtained through Technical

Support.

Accessories

Table A-1 shows the accessories available for

Tait Orca 5000 portable radios. Of these acces-

sories, only the chargers are serviceable.

For more information on chargers, see Part E:

Battery packs and chargers. The battery packs

available for Tait Orca 5000 portable radios

are also described in Part E.

New chassis

A new chassis and accessory connector have

been introduced in September 2002. This

provides greater strength to the accessory

connector. Old accessories are however no

longer compatible with the new chassis, nor

will the new accessories fit the old chassis. See

“Accessory connector compatibility” on

page G-8. Information specific to the old

chassis or accessories can be found in version

M5000-00-103 of the Tait Orca 5000 service

manual.

The new accessory connectors have a different

shape quarter turn tip, no hooks on the locat-

ing posts and a green dot on the outside at the

lower left corner

The new chassis has a different shape hole for

the connector’s quarter turn tip, and a green

Figure A-2: Changed chassis hole

Fitting an accessory

To fit some accessories to the radio, you will

need to remove the rear accessory cover.

Remove the battery, then insert the end of a

key underneath the bottom edge of the acces-

sory cover. Lift to remove the cover.

When attaching or removing an accessory,

ensure that the lever is in the upright position.

Keeping the accessory connector parallel to the

radio, engage the two posts at the base of the

connector with the rear panel. Once the acces-

sory is in position, rotate the lever 90 degrees

counterclockwise to lock it in place. See Figure

A-3.

Removing an accessory

When removing an accessory, press the lock

spring tab before rotating the clip clockwise.

See Figure A-4.

Fitting a non-Tait accessory

See Part F: Accessories for information on using

non-Tait accessories with Tait Orca 5000

portable radios.

Basic servicing precautions

Tait Orca 5000 portable radios require special-

ised servicing techniques and should only be

serviced at an approved Tait service centre

equipped with the necessary facilities.

Standard anti-static procedures should be

followed; a typical setup is shown in Figure A-5.

If in doubt, contact Tait Electronics Ltd or your

nearest Tait dealer.

Figure A-5: Typical anti-static bench setup

Warning!

Repairs attempted with incorrect equipment

or by untrained personnel may result in

permanent damage.

Caution: CMOS devices

This equipment contains CMOS devices,

which are susceptible to damage from static

charges. Care when handling these devices is

essential. For correct handling procedures,

refer to manufacturers’ data books covering

CMOS devices, such as Philips Data Handbook

Covering CMOS Devices or Motorola CMOS

Data Book Section 5 (Handling Procedures).

Screw head types

Torx recess head screws and Pozidriv recess

head screws require the correct sized driver to

achieve best performance. Most of the screws

in Tait Orca 5000 portable radios are Torx

head screws, and so a Torx T6 driver bit is

supplied as part of the service kit. Some earlier

radios have Pozidriv screws.

Torx head 1.8x5 mm screws should be

removed using the supplied Torx T6 driver.

When replacing these screws, set the driver to

2in.lb (0.23Nm).

Pan head Pozidriv M2x8 mm and M2x5 mm

screws should be removed using a number 1

Pozidriver. When replacing these screws, set

the driver to 2in.lb (0.23Nm).

5000 portable radios, refer to:

■the Tait Orca Trunked Programming Appli-

cation User’s Manual or the online help;

■the Tait Orca Conventional Programming

Calibrating

For information on calibrating Tait Orca 5000

portable radios, refer to:

■the TaitOrcaCalibrationApplicationUser’s

Manual or the online help.

The User’s Manual is on the TOP Program-

ming Utilities (TPU) CD-ROM, which is

included, together with this manual, as part of

the calibration service kit.

Test acilities

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 portable

radios.

Basic maintenance

Your Tait Orca portable radio 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 portable radio 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.
