DRAFT 2
2 Before using your radio
Once you have unpacked your radio, there are a few
tasks you must do before you can use it. The most
important of these is to charge your battery for the first
time — allow 2.5 hours for this.
Warning Use only a Tait-supplied, IS-approved
battery, antenna, audio accessory or carry accessory
with an IS radio. Fitting a battery or accessory that is
not IS-approved exposes the customer to a risk of
explosion which could cause serious injury or death.
For an up-to-date list of approved accessories, refer to
“TP9300/TP9400 IS Portable Radios Approved IS
Accessories” on the Tait website, or contact your
nearest Tait office. For detailed information about IS
radios and how to identify them, see "Intrinsically Safe
radios" on page 17.
Warning Do not charge the battery or change the
antenna in a hazardous location. An explosion could
cause serious injury or death.
