SAFETY

1. Do NOT operate your radio, without a handsfree kit, 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 touch the antenna while the radio is transmitting.

4. Do NOT operate the radio if the antenna has become disconnected
or damaged.

HINTS FOR USING THE RADIO

• When speaking, hold the microphone a few centimeters 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 its 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

1.1 O

VERVIEW

The SRM9000 Series Radios are 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 SRM9030 PMR Alphanumeric Display
variant.

The radio consists of a Transceiver unit that may be mounted in the vehicle
boot or under a seat, and an Alphanumeric Control Unit, which is designed to
mount on the vehicle console or within view and reach of the driver. A
microphone and speaker connected to the radio provide the audio interface.

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

This guide describes the facilities that are currently available and can be
programmed into the SRM9030.

1.2 I

NSTALLATION

As the installation of your SRM9030 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.

3. MENU SYSTEM

The SRM9030 radio software uses a programmed Menu structure to enable
the operator to access all of the radio options. The structure of the menu
(comprising up to thirteen screens) can be programmed to meet the specific
needs of individual customers. Figure 2 illustrates the complete menu
structure of the radio.

Any or all of the Screens can be programmed or hidden with the following
provisos:

• The Phone Book Screen is always programmed in and is the default
Screen displayed.

• The Main Menu provides access to the usual Screens required to operate
the radio.

• The Setup Sub-Menus provide access to the radio setup parameters.

• When options are placed in a Setup Sub-Menu, Setup should be offered

as a sub menu in the Main Menu selection.

• Both the Main Menu and the Setup submenus can each hold up to ten
Screens.

Programming of menus is a configuration task normally performed by the
system manager using programmer software.
