General Safety

1. Do not operate your portable radio whilst driving a vehicle.

2. Do not operate your radio in an explosive atmosphere.

Obey the 'Turn Off Two-way Radios' signs where these are posted, e.g. on a petrol station forecourt.

3. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

Only recharge batteries in an approved SRP9180 Charger.

IECEx Intrinsically Safe Radios

Radio models approved for use in hazardous environments according to the IECEx Scheme are marked with an approval number.

Refer to the label on the radio for the IECEx compliance level.

The following MUST be observed to maintain the IECEx protection rating:

• Use only approved SIMOCO battery, part number PAR-9180BATL2i or PAR-9180BATL3i

• Battery charging must only be carried out in non-hazardous areas, using an approved battery charger.

• Metal belt clips must NOT be used in hazardous areas.

• It is a requirement that when the radio is used in a hazardous area that either the SRP9180 Accessory Cover Assy (6102 350 1446) or an approved Simoco IECEx accessory is fitted (refer Section 8 for list of approved accessories).

• Approved accessories may only be connected and disconnected outside the hazardous areas.

• Prior to use in a hazardous area, inspect the radio and accessories for signs of damage. Any visible signs of damage to the radio or accessories may compromise the integrity and safety of the radio. A damaged radio or accessories must be repaired or replaced prior to use in a hazardous area.

• Incorrect storage, handling or operation of the radio and accessories, as specified in Simoco published User Guides and Service Manuals, may compromise the safety and integrity of the radio or accessories.

• Approved labels stating the IECEx rating level must be on the radio and accessories, and be legible, before their use in a hazardous area.

• When speaking, hold the radio a few centimetres from your mouth and speak across it, rather than into it. The microphone is located near the bottom right hand corner of the portable radio’s speaker grille.

• Keep the length of your conversation to a minimum to conserve battery life.

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

areas such as the radio system’s fringe areas (limit of range) or from screened or shadowed areas, e.g. an underground car park or underpass.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 O

The SRP9180 Series Radio is a versatile Digital Signal Processor (DSP) controlled, two-way portable radio. The SRP9180 Series Radio is available in a number of frequency bands for specific applications.

The radio is software programmable and can be customised to the operational requirements of your particular fleet. Your Simoco representative can help in programming your radio facilities to meet your present and future requirements.

A wide-range of accessories is available to complement the SRP9180 Series Radio including: chargers, antenna, headsets, covert kits, holsters and carry cases. Refer to Simoco website for comprehensive descriptions.

This guide describes the facilities that are currently available and can be programmed into the MPT1327 Trunked Mobile Radio (TMR) mode of the SRP9180 series.

1.2 C

Before you can use the SRP9180, it must be configured using the Field Personality Programmer (FPP). This configuration process loads the customised channels, signalling and user options so the radio will operate with your system.

The FPP will also update the radio software automatically, if required.

1.3 C

Where the word “generally” or “may” is used to describe a facility, this operation is an option that may be enabled with the FPP.

Inactivity Timer

is enabled, the radio will automatically turn Off after a predefined duration of inactivity as set by the FPP (i.e. no keys pressed). The radio will emit warning beeps for 10 seconds prior to switching off. Pressing any key will reset this timer.

5.1.1 In-Service Indication

•

After switch on, the portable radio must 'Register' with the Trunking Network before it can place or receive calls. When the radio is searching for the best channel a rotating arrow and the signal strength of the scanned channel is displayed. When the radio has registered, the rotating arrow symbol will disappear.

• The radio is said to be In Service when it is in contact with the Network and the arrow symbol is extinguished. A call cannot be made until the radio is In Service. The radio can queue one call, which will be made as soon as the radio gains service.

5.1.2 Volume Adjustment

The top On/Off/Volume knob adjusts the speech level at the loudspeaker or remote speaker microphone. Rotating clockwise increases the volume and anti-clockwise decreases the volume.

Note: The radio can be programmed so that the volume cannot be turned off completely.

SRP9180 ~ MPT1327 Portable Radio User Manual

6. CALL TYPES

A Trunking System allows the user to make a number of different call types. The SRP9180 supports the following call types:

• Voice Calls between Individuals or Groups,

•

Include Calls,

• Status Calls,

• Priority and Emergency Calls,

•

Diversion Calls,

• Broadcast Calls.

Individual Voice Calls. Allow private conversations between two users. Other users can be included in the call using the Include Call function.

Group Voice Calls. Allow a group of users to participate in a group conversation. Any participant in the group can leave the call individually, but only the originator can end the call.

Status Calls. Allow a status number to be sent between users. The SRP9180 allows text messages to be associated with up to 30 status numbers and can display these text messages when such a status is to be sent or is received.

Diversion Calls. Allows the user to divert incoming calls to another radio or telephone extension for example. This could be used when the user is away from their vehicle. For example, calls could be diverted to the depot radio.

Normal, Priority and Emergency Calls. If the channel is busy, Normal Calls are placed in a queue and actioned when they reach the top of the queue. Priority Calls jump to the top of the queue unless a previous Priority Call is taking place.

Emergency Calls are actioned immediately.

Broadcast Calls. Are similar to Group Voice Calls except that only the person who initiates

the call can speak to the other parties in the call.

Notes 1: Some of these call types are only available after prior arrangement with the Network

Operator.

2: Most Trunk Networks have a time limit placed on call duration. The Network

terminates the call after this time.

6.1 M

AKING A VOICE CALL

Voice Calls may be made in several different ways:

Using the Phonebook:

•

From the Phonebook Screen, scroll through the entries using the ▼ ▲keys until the desired name is shown; then press the OK key (F4 must be programmed as

Call

function).

Using Direct-Call Function Key:

• The F1, F2, …, F6 keys may be assigned as Direct-Call keys. Pressing such a key will place a call to the pre-programmed identity (e.g. Depot).

Through Keypad Entry:

•

The Users ID number can be entered directly as a dial-string using the Keypad (e.g. 4 5 # will call radio unit No 45).

•

Dial-strings of up to 30 digits can be used, refer to Appendix B for numbering convention and valid dial-strings.

Using Quick-Dial Memories:

• The first 20 Phonebook Entries (0-19) can be setup as twenty Quick-Dial Memories.

•

These allow a dial-string for a call number to be dialled quickly using the keypad to enter the Quick-Dial Memory number followed by the # key. (e.g. 1 2 # will dial the number in Quick-Dial Memory location 12). The Phonebook Edit facility allows these numbers to be changed.

6.1.1 During a Voice Call

When a call is placed, a Call Progress Message is displayed on the Message Line and the speaker emits Call Progress tones (see Appendix A for more details).

When the called radio is contacted, both radios will “ring” and display the call setup icon.

When the called person answers, both radios will be connected and will display the audio enabled icon.

A conversation can now take place with each operator taking turns to press their Press-ToTalk (PTT) keys and speaking.

When the call is finished, either operator can end the call by pressing the nominated Clear * key or press * #.

Note: If the called radio cannot be contacted (radio off or out of range) or does not answer within a

short period of time (dependant on the Network - about 10-30 seconds), a Radio Busy or Unavailable message is displayed and call-fail tones are emitted.

* Note that F6 is usually assigned as the

Clear

key.

SRP9180 ~ MPT1327 Portable Radio User Manual

AKING A STATUS CALL

Status Calls allow a Status Number to be sent between users. This Status Number can

have a meaning that the user assigns to it.

e.g. 1 may mean: “Ready for Despatch”.

2 may mean: “At Lunch”.

3 may mean: “Contact Home”, (etc).

A Status Message can be sent in a number of ways similar to making Voice Calls.

6.1.1 Using the Phonebook

To send a Status Call using the Phonebook:

• Scroll through the Phonebook until the persons name is displayed (or enter the ID number using the keypad).

• Do not press #.

• Go to the Status Screen (Press M and then select Status Screen).

•

Then use the ▼ ▲keys to scroll through the entries until the desired message is displayed.

•

Press the PTT key to send the Status Message to the selected Phonebook person (or entered number).

Note: Your radio may be set up to send all Status Messages to a fixed identity.

6.1.2 By Dialling the Numbers

If the Status Number and the destination ID Number are known, use the keypad to enter the numbers in the following format:

* n * x # where n is the Status Message Number (01 – 20), and x is and the destination ID Number.

e.g. * 0 2 * 3 5 # where Status Message Number 02 = ‘At Lunch’, and

destination ID Number 35 = ‘Andrew Jones’ means

A Status Call was sent to ‘Andrew Jones’ indicating the sender was ‘At Lunch’.

Note: You cannot send a Status Message during a Voice Call.

ECEIVING A CALL

The SRP9180 will respond to incoming calls according to the type of call being received.

There are three types of call:

• Individual Voice Call.

•

Group Voice Call.

• Status Message or Data Message.

6.2.1 Receiving an Individual Voice Call

When a call is received the radio will “ring”, display the call setup icon the call.

While the radio is “ringing”, the user can answer the call by pressing the PTT key.

When you answer the call, both radios will be connected and will display the audio enabled icon.

A conversation can now take place with each operator taking turns to press their and speaking.

When the call is finished, either operator can end the call by pressing the nominated Clear * key or pressing

* #

If a “ringing” call is not answered before the Network times out, or the caller cancels the call, details of the call are entered in the Stored Calls Screen, refer to Section 4.2.

and the origin of

keys

PTT

Notes: 1. The SRP9180 responds in the same manner as above for Priority and Emergency

calls. Emergency Calls show Emergency on the display.

2. Some Trunking Networks provide a different Call Setup method that allows the radios to automatically answer incoming Voice Calls or allows the caller to speak to the called person while the radio is ringing.

* Note that F6 is usually assigned as the Clear key.

SRP9180 ~ MPT1327 Portable Radio User Manual

Receiving a Group Voice Call

A Group Voice Call differs from an Individual Voice Call in that the operators of the group do not answer the call. All radios that are members of the group automatically connect to the Group Voice Call.

While in a Group Voice Call, all operators can press their PTT, in turn, and talk to each other. Only the originator of the Group Voice Call can clear the call. Any operator can leave a Group Voice Call in the same manner as ending an Individual Voice Call (refer to Section

6.2.1).

Notes: 1. In some Trunk Networks, operators who leave a Group Voice Call are returned to

that Group Voice Call after a short period of time. This “Late Joiner” Network facility allows users that were previously engaged on another call, to join a Group Voice Call that is in progress.

2. A Broadcast Call is a special type of Group Voice Call in which only the originator can speak. All other group members are inhibited. Broadcast Calls are originated using dial-strings entered on the keypad (refer to Appendix B).

6.2.2 Incoming Status and Data Messages

Incoming Status and Data Messages are stored, and can be viewed in the Stored Calls Screen, refer to Section 4.2.

If not already displayed, the

icon appears on the Main Phonebook Screen and a short

‘bip’ is emitted every 5 seconds to alert the user that a new message has been received.

SRP9180 ~ MPT1327 Portable Radio User Manual

6.3 C

Incoming calls can be diverted to another radio, telephone, or PABX extension, using the Call Diversion facility provided by the Trunk Network. In many instances Call Diversion is only available after prior arrangement with the Network Operator.

A diversion may be set up via the Call Types Screen or direct from the keypad.

ALL DIVERSION

6.3.1 From the Call-Types Screen

• Scroll through the Phonebook until the persons name is displayed (or enter the ID

number using the keypad).

• Do not press #.

• Go to the Call-Types Screen (Press M and select Call Types Screen), then use the ▼

▲keys to scroll through the entries until Divert is displayed.

• Press OK to make the diversion to the selected Phonebook person (or entered ID

number).

6.3.2 By Dialling the Numbers

If you know the destination ID Number, use the keypad to enter the numbers in the following format:

* 4 1 * n # where n is and the destination ID Number.

13. COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE GUIDELINES

(UNITED STATES AND CANADA)

RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS.

Before using your Simoco portable two-way radio, read this important RF energy awareness and control information and operational instructions to ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines.

NOTICE: This portable radio is intended for use in Occupational/ Controlled conditions in applications where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC limits. This radio device is NOT authorised for general population, consumer, or any other use.

This portable two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, electric power, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.

Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health and industry work with organizations to develop standards for exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of protection. All two-way radios marketed is North America are designed, manufactured and tested to ensure they meet government established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits. http:l/www.fcc. gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-fags. htm 1 http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencvradiation/index.htmi

Federal Communications Commission Regulations:

The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for portable two-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. An exposure awareness label is attached to the equipment directing users to specific awareness information.

Compliance with RF Exposure Standards

Your Simoco portable two-way radio is designed to comply with a number of national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for Occupational/ Controlled RF exposure environment at duty factors of up to 50% talk 50% listen and is authorised by the FCC for occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.

Your Simoco two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:

• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J

SRP9180 ~ MPT1327 Portable Radio User Manual

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992

•

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition

• Industry Canada RSS-102

SRP9180 ~ MPT1327 Portable Radio User Manual

RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and

Operating Instructions

To control exposure to yourself and others and ensure compliance with the Occupational/ Controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures.

Guidelines:

• User awareness instructions should accompany the device when transferred to other users.

•

This radio meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the Simoco accessories supplied or designated for the product. The designated Simoco belt clip type is PAR9180CLIP and leather pouches for bodyworn use are SImoco Radio types PAR-9180CLBC2 and 3, and PAR-9180CHSM with extension speaker microphone type PAR-LMS2. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines and may violate FCC regulations.

• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.

Instructions:

•

Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).

•

Do not operate the radio without an approved antenna attached, as this may cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. With this product, use only an antenna supplied or approved by Simoco.

• Always keep the radio at least 5 cm (2.0 inches) from the face when transmitting and at least 10 mm (0.4 inches) from the body. This radio has been tested for RF exposure compliance at the distances listed in Table 1.
