TROUBLESHOOTING
Operating Tips
• Put the TAC COM 2005 on the smart charger until the LED
on the
smart charger
blinks green and orange, or just green to indicate a
full charge. Charge time is 4 to 6 hours. TAC COM should be OFF
for optimum charging.
NOTE
: After extended operation, the battery may be hot (Smart
Charger LED green-red flashing). After battery cool down, the
Smart Charger will automatically revert to fast charge (LED solid
red).
• Ensure the body wire transmit frequency is the same as the
selected TAC COM 2005 receive frequency.
• Choose a frequency that is free of interference.
• Energize the bodywire transmitter and the TAC COM 2005. Using
the Audio Out jack on the rear of the TAC COM 2005, you may
connect an external, amplified speaker or recorder to ensure that
the TAC COM 2005 is receiving the body wire transmitted signal.
• The LED will occasionally begin to flicker between green and red,
sometimes appearing yellow or orange. This is an indication that
the received signal is not strong enough to provide full receiver
quieting. Reposition the ANT-3 Cellular look-alike mobile antenna
with magnetic base to increase signal reception and working
distance.
Operating Tips
• The TAC COM 2005 can be powered with an AC to DC converter,
or an automotive accessory power cord. If the internal battery is
fully charged, it will automatically provide power to your TAC COM
2005. Some automobiles have power-off timers on their accessory
power ports, which could otherwise cause a loss of power if the
automobile timed-off off during operation.
• The TAC COM 2005 will continue to broadcast the received audio
signal on the original transmit frequency even if the transmit
frequency is changed at the front panel. This prevents loss of audio
information during the mission if the channel knob is moved.
To change the channel during transmission:
• Turn OFF the body wire transmitter, or
• Turn OFF the TAC COM 2005, change the
channel, and restore power.
• If using the body-wire with scramble option enabled, DO NOT
activate the TAC COM 2005's scramble feature, as the result will be
a double scrambled signal at the listening post that will not be
readily usable.
