Problem Solution
Unit will not turn ON.
Check internal battery voltage as read on the panel meter. If less than 11 VDC, recharge the
battery.
Use an external power source 11 to 16 VDC.
Poor local Audio at Audio out jack.
Audio out jack is at line level. It will not drive an external speaker without use of an external
amplifier.
Check battery and antenna on body wire transmitter.
Ensure that body wire transmit frequency and TAC COM 2005 receive frequency are the same.
Ensure that the body wire transmitter is in range of repeater.
Ensure that the TAC COM 2005 antenna is positioned vertically, or an external antenna is in use.
Ensure that an antenna is attached to the antenna jack.
Ensure that the squelch adjust has been performed correctly.
Ensure that the TAC COM 2005 receiver is programmed correctly for wide/narrow bandwidth
operation. This bandwidth must match that of the body-wire transmitter for optimum performance.
Good local audio at the Audio out jack, but
poor or no audio at listening post.
Ensure the TAC COM 2005 transmit and listening post receive frequencies are the same.
Ensure that the scramble feature is deactivated.
Check the listening post's receiver program to ensure that any subaudible coding (i.e. PL code)
matches the transmitter, or is turned OFF.
Ensure a clear, line-of-sight path with no buildings or mountains between listening post and
repeater.
Ensure that there is no interference near the listening post. Try changing frequencies.
