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
4. 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.
Hints for Using the Radio
• 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 VERVIEW
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
ONFIGURATION
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
ONVENTIONS
Where the word “generally” or “may” is used to describe a facility, this operation is an option
that may be enabled with the FPP.
References to the SRP9180 also apply to the non-keypad version (SRP9170) except where
keypad operation is described.

3 MENU SYSTEM
The SRP9180 radio software uses a programmed menu structure to enable the operator to
access the radio options. The structure of the menu can be configured to meet the
customer’s specific needs using the FPP.
Figure 2 (overleaf) illustrates the menu structure of the radio. Note that the order and
presence of each menu is determined by the configuration of the radio programmed by the
FPP.
There are Setup sub-menus that provide access to radio setup parameters.
Possible Menu entries are:
• Phone Book
• Recall
• Stored Calls
• Call Types
• Status
• Setup
• User Options
• Group
• Phone Book Edit
• Alert olume
• Radio Information
• Mode Selection or Network Selection
• Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI)
• Send Message
To assist the user in menu key selection, a soft menu label will often appear above the
function keys. The label shows the user the current function for that key which may change
between different menus.
Programming of menus is a configuration task normally performed by the System Manager
using the FPP.
3 1 M ENU NAVIGATION
The M key is generally used to select Menu mode from the main Screen. Once in Menu
mode, the ▼ ▲ keys cycle through the menus.
To exit Menu mode, press the M key again or the Menu timeout will exit automatically.
Generally, pressing the M key while in a menu backs up to the next highest level of menu
and the OK key selects the function.
The ▼ ▲keys are generally used to navigate through a list of options Phonebook entries, or
to increase or decrease a value.

• Turn the On/Off/Volume knob clockwise to switch
the portable radio On.
• The display will illuminate and show a Welcome
Message and the Trunk Identity of the radio.
• After a brief time the display will revert to the
Phonebook Screen, at which time the radio is
ready for use.
• Turning the On/Off/Volume knob anticlockwise
will switch the portable radio Off.
• If the radio 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.

6 CALL TYPES
A Trunking System allows the user to make a number of different call types. The SRP9180
supports the following call types:
• oice 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: ost Trunk Networks have a time limit placed on call duration. The Network
terminates the call after this time.

6 1 M AKING A V OICE C ALL
oice 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 Me ories:
• 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.

M AKING A S TATUS C ALL
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 oice 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 essages 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 essage during a Voice Call.

A conversation can now take place with each operator taking turns to press their PTT keys
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.
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.

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