© Tait Electronics Ltd May 2003About this Guide1 About this Guide This user’s guide provides information about both TM8105 and TM8115 mobile radios and is divided into two parts.
Part A explains how the TM8115 radio operates. The TM8105 radio has a control head without user con- trols, so no TM8105 operating information is needed.
Part B outlines the installation procedure for both TM8105 and TM8115 radios, and gives the interface specifications for the TM8105 remote connector. Important Safety Information This user’s guide also contains important safety informa- tion about using and installing TM8105 and TM8115 radios. Refer to page 6 for user safety instructions and page 18 for installation safety instructions. Updating this Guide In the interests of improving the performance, reliability or servicing of the equipment, Tait Electronics Ltd reserves the right to update both the equipment or this user’s guide, without prior notice. 2About this Guide Your Radio’s Settings Use the following table to list your radio’s programmed settings.

Switch the radio off at petrol filling stations or near flammable liquids or gases.
Switch the radio off in the vicinity of explo- sive devices and blasting zones.
Using a handheld microphone or a radio while driving a vehicle may violate the laws and legislation that apply in your country or state. Please check the vehicle regulations in your area. Warning: High Temperatures The bottom surface of the radio and the heatsink fins can become hot during prolonged operation. Do not touch these parts of the radio. Warning: FCC RF Exposure Limits This product generates RF (radio frequency) energy during transmissions. This device must be restricted to work-related use in an occupational/controlled expo- sure environment. The radio operator must have control of the exposure conditions and duration of all persons exposed to the antenna of this transmitter to satisfy FCC RF exposure compliance. This device is not approved for general population use.
This device must only be used with authorized acces- sories and antennas.
The operator must ensure that the minimum safe dis- tance of 0.9 m (35 inches) between persons and the antenna is maintained during transmissions. Safety Warnings7
This minimum safe distance is based on the assump- tion that there is a duty cycle of 50% transmit mode to stand-by or receive modes. The radio is in transmit mode when the PTT (press-to-talk) key on the micro- phone is pressed and th…
