English
Selcall (Selective Calling)
Selcall allows your radio to direct calls to certain
individuals or groups within a channel. If your radio is
fitted with Selcall hardware and this feature is
programmed, some or all of your channels will be
associated with other radio’s Selcall IDs.
Making a
Selcall Follow the steps below to make a Selcall:
1 Select the channel that is programmed with the
Selcall ID you wish to call.
2 Check that the channel is free.
3 Press the Call ()key.
4 When the person you are calling responds, lift the
microphone off-hook and proceed with your call as
normal.
Receiving a
Selcall When you receive a Selcall, the radio emits a ringing
tone (similar to a telephone’s ring) and the CALL
indicator flashes.
•To accept the call, lift the microphone off-hook, identify
yourself and proceed with the call as usual. The
ringing tone stops as soon as you press the PTT key.
•To reject the call, press any of the front panel keys
instead of the PTT key.
Group Calls If your radio emits a single ringing tone and the caller
begins his message immediately, then you are one
recipient of a Selcall group call.
There is no need to respond - the message is being
sent as a broadcast to a group of radios.

16 English
Additional Information
Emergency
Calls If your radio is fitted with the Selcall option, it may also
be preset to send an Emergency Call to a
predetermined location (such as your despatcher),
when you activate a hidden switch.
•While an Emergency Call is in progress, your radio will
quietly switch in and out of transmit mode so that
activity around the radio can be monitored.
•The radio that receives your emergency call will
usually be able to transmit a code to return your radio
to normal operation. Alternatively, you can reset the
radio yourself by switching it off and on.
Economy Mode To conserve battery power, your radio may be
programmed to switch off the keypad backlighting (and
the display in the T2015II ) after a preset period of
inactivity.
Any valid activity on the selected channel will restore the
radio to full operation. The radio will also return to
normal as soon as you operate the PTT or any front
panel key.
Trouble-
shooting If none of the front panel indicators light when you turn
the radio on, power may not be getting through to the
radio.
Check all the leads, in-line fuses and connections
between the battery and the radio. If this does not reveal
a fault, contact your Tait dealer for further assistance.

Installation
Installation
Planning To ensure trouble-free, efficient installation, inspect the
vehicle and determine how and where the antenna,
radio and accessories are to be mounted.
It is possible to remote-mount the T2020II and T2040II
models as these have alphanumeric keypads, with the
control head separate from the radio chassis.
This enables the radio to be mounted in a discrete
location, e.g. the rear luggage space, with the control
head mounted in a convenient position for the vehicle’s
occupants. See the M2000 service manual, available
from your Tait dealer, for details of this modification.
Occupant’s
Safety Check that the chosen locations for the radio and
accessories do not endanger the vehicle occupants.
Overhead mounting is not recommended, especially
without an additional safety strap. Check that the radio
can be conveniently operated when seat belts are worn.
Caution: To prevent interference with vehicle electronic
systems (such as ignition and anti-skid devices), the
radio, its antenna and wiring should be mounted away
from these units and their associated cables.
Allow sufficient airflow around the radio to permit
adequate cooling. Once you have found a suitable
mounting position for the radio, hold it (fitted in the
cradle) in the proposed mounting position and check
there is clearance behind it for the heatsink, cables, etc.
Check that the position provides a large enough flat
surface that the cradle will not be distorted.
Important: To ensure compliance with EN60950, the
radio should be mounted in such a position that will
prevent the user from coming into contact with the
radio’s heatsink.
