Calculation UV and IR in a higher-spin electronic states using ORCA

Hi,
I recently started working in MOF using ORCA 4.2. According to B3LYP / def-TZVP results, the ground electronic spin state of my complex is a quartet (the total energy of the quartet is lower than that of the doublet and sextet). I would like to calculate the UV and IR spectrum for this complex. Should I use spin multiplicity=4 for the calculations?
