HINTS FOR USING THE RADIO

• When speaking, hold the microphone a few centimetres from your mouth and

speak across it, rather than into it.

• Keep the length of your conversation to a minimum and replace the

microphone on it’s cradle after use.

• When it is possible to move location, avoid making calls from known poor

signal-strength areas such as the radio systems fringe areas (limit of range) or from screened or shadowed areas, e.g. an underground car park or underpass.

• To avoid unnecessary drain on the vehicle battery, keep the engine running

when using the radio for extensive periods of time.

1. INTRODUCTION

The SRM9000 Series Radios are advanced, versatile Digital Signal Processor (DSP) controlled, two-way mobile radios. The SRM9000 Series is available in a number of frequency bands and versions for specific applications. This manual describes the operation of the SRM9020plus PMR Alphanumeric Display variant.

The radio consists of a SRM9000 Transceiver Unit that may be mounted in the vehicle boot or under a seat, and a SRM9020plus Alphanumeric Control Microphone which is designed to mount within view and reach of the driver. A speaker connected to the radio provides the audio interface.

The radio is software programmable and it can be customised to the operational requirements of your particular fleet. Your Simoco representative can help in programming your radios facilities to meet your present and future requirements. This guide describes the facilities that are currently available and can be programmed into the SRM9020plus.

1.1 I

NSTALLATION

As the installation of your SRM9020plus Radio is a technical and possibly hazardous operation, we recommend that it is installed and set up for use by your dealer or an authorised installer. However, if you need information regarding the correct procedures for installation, please refer to the SRM9000 Series Installation Instructions supplied with the radio.

After a brief time the display will show the selected channel, at which time the radio is ready for use.

Pressing and holding the On/Off button for approximately 2 seconds will switch the radio Off.

If the radio Inactivity Timer is enabled, the radio will automatically turn Off after several hours of inactivity (i.e. no buttons pressed). The radio will emit warning beeps for 10 seconds prior to switching off. Pressing any button will reset this timer.

The radio can also be set up to switch on automatically with the Vehicle Ignition whenever the vehicle is started.

Page 11

SRM9020plus ~ PMR Operating Instructions

3.3 V

OLUME ADJUSTMENT

The Volume Up/Down buttons set the speech level at the loudspeaker.

Use the Up/Down buttons to set the volume of the received signal to the required level.

When there is no signal a beep will be emitted at each button press to indicate the volume level. During a call the beeps are omitted.

Note: The radio may be programmed so that the volume cannot be turned

off completely.

3.4 R

ECEIVING

The radio will listen on the displayed Channel. Typical Icons are:

Indicates that a valid signal is present and can be heard from the loudspeaker.

Indicates that a signal with invalid CTCSS (or Selcall) is present and that the speaker is muted.

The rotating bar indicates that the radio is searching the displayed Group.

Displayed when the radio is not receiving and an entry exists in the Stored Calls Screen.

Changing channels can be achieved by the following:

• Pressing the

buttons.

• Pressing a Go-to-Channel Function Button, refer to Section 7.10.

Note: If the displayed channel is a Vote Group, the Group name is displayed

Page 12

SRM9020plus ~ PMR Operating Instructions

3.5 T

RANSMITTING

To avoid interfering with other users of the channel, listen first to ensure no transmissions are occurring. Make sure the busy Icon is not shown.

Remove the microphone from its cradle.

Hold the microphone a few centimetres from the mouth, press the “Press-toTalk” (PTT) button. Speak clearly across the face of the microphone in a normal conversational manner.

In most systems it is important to wait a short time between pressing the PTT button and commencing to speak. This ensures that the path is properly established and avoids lost or distorted speech.

Use the correct operating procedure and keep transmissions short. Release the PTT button as soon as the message is finished.

Notes:

1 A channel may be programmed as Receive-

only or Transmit Inhibit

which can disallow PTT. A continuous tone will be heard if PTT is attempted.

2 A Transmit Limit Timer may be setup that limits a single

continuous transmission. The last 10 seconds before the timer expires may be accompanied by warning tones.

3 The radio may be programmed to send a Selcall (ANI) when the

PTT is pressed or released. This may introduce a short delay before the microphone is enabled or after PTT is released.

Page 13

SRM9020plus ~ PMR Operating Instructions

3.6 SELCALL F

UNCTIONS

3.6.1 Receiving a Selcall

A number of different options can be set up by your dealer to sound various alert tones when a selcall is received. Consult your dealer for a detailed explanation of your radios set up.

Generally, removing the microphone form its cradle or pressing the PTT will stop any alerts and answer a received call.

3.6.2 Sending a Selcall

Refer to Phonebook Screen (Section 5.2) and Status Screen (Section 5.3) for methods of sending a Selcall.

3.6.3 Other Selcall Functions

The SRM9020plus has several other functions that affect how the radio operates with received signals or selcalls. These functions can be assigned to buttons in the Main Channel Screen.

Monitor (refer to Section 7.1).

Reset (refer to Section 7.3).

Transpond Enable (refer to Section 7.6).

Send-2 (refer to Section 7.5).

Special Encodes (refer to Section 7.5).

Page 14

SRM9020plus ~ PMR Operating Instructions

3.7 S

CAN FUNCTIONS

Scanning consists of sequentially searching up to 15 channels for a valid

signal (RF+CTCSS tone). When found, the radio will stop on that channel until the signal disappears again.

If a Priority Channel is assigned, the radio will interleave a check of this channel between each normal channel check. The radio may also check the Priority Channel every few seconds while stopped on a channel. If a signal is found on the Priority Channel then the radio will switch to that channel immediately.

If programmed, the Priority Channel is automatically selected when the Microphone is removed from cradle.

If scanning is enabled on your radio, press the S button from the Main Channel Screen to enter Scan Mode, or select a channel that has been programmed as a scan channel..

3.7.1 Scan Screen

The display shows the name of the current Scan-Group (e.g. “West”), which can be changed using the buttons. The Scan-Group Number is shown next to the Icon (e.g. 1) if it is a User Scan-Group, or blank for Fixed Scan-Groups. (User Scan Groups can be edited by the User).

The Scan Screen does not time-out.

Press the S button to exit to the Main Channel screen.

Whilst listening on the channel, the User may PTT on that channel. After the signal disappears, or the Microphone is placed back on the Cradle, the radio will remain listening on the channel for a short time before resuming scanning.

If the radio is not stopped on a channel, and no Priority channel is defined, when the Mic is removed from Cradle, the channel shown on the display prior to “Scan” being activated is selected.

The

buttons allow access to the other screens (not Main Channel Screen). When these other menus time-out, the display returns to the Scan Screen.

The Radio may be programmed so that the Microphone needs to be on-cradle for the radio to scan. If the Microphone is left off-cradle for too long then the radio will sound a continuous alert tone until it is replaced.

In the Scan Screen the function buttons are assigned as follows.

Go to other menus.

Skip channel (only while receiving a signal).

Exit scanning.

The

button temporarily deletes (skips) the channel from the Scan-Group. Skip is only active when stopped on a channel and the Microphone is on-cradle. Skipped channels are restored when a different Scan Group is selected or if Scan is exited. The Priority Channel cannot be skipped.
