PERSONAL SAFETY
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
These Safety Precautions, Warnings and Cautions advise personnel of specific hazards which may
be encountered during the procedures contained in this document and that control measures are
required to prevent injury to personnel, and damage to equipment and/or the environment.
Before using this equipment, personnel are to acquaint themselves with all risk assessments
relevant to the work site and the task. They must then comply with the control measures detailed
in those risk assessments.
References covering safety regulations, health hazards and hazardous substances are detailed
under the WARNINGS section below. These are referred to in this user manual when they are
encountered.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do NOT operate your mobile radio, without a hands-free kit, whilst driving a vehicle (subject to
local law).
Do NOT operate your radio in an explosive atmosphere –unless the radio’s level of IECEx
approval is approved for use in that atmosphere.
Obey the ‘Turn Off Two-way Radios’ signs where these are posted, e.g. on a petrol station
forecourt.
Do NOT touch the antenna while the radio is transmitting.
Do NOT operate the radio if the antenna has become disconnected or damaged.
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
Before using any hazardous substance or material, the user must be conversant with the safety
precautions and first aid instructions:
On the label of the container in which it was supplied.
On the material Safety Data Sheet.
In any local Safety Orders and Regulations.
WARNINGS
Radio Frequency Radiation
WARNING
RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION. A RADIO FREQUENCY (RF)
RADIATION HAZARD EXISTS IN THIS EQUIPMENT. TO AVOID RF
INJURY, DO NOT TOUCH THE ANTENNA WHEN THE TRANSMITTER IS
IN USE. DO NOT OPERATE TRANSMITTER WITH ANTENNA
DISCONNECTED. REFER TO EU DIRECTIVE 2004/40/EC DATED 29
APRIL 2004.
Dangerous Voltages
Dangerous voltages exist in this equipment, for the appropriate Safety precautions, refer to the
relevant Electrical Safety Regulations appropriate to the country of operation.

WARNING
DANGEROUS VOLTAGES. DANGEROUS VOLTAGES EXIST IN THIS
EQUIPMENT. FOR THE APPROPRIATE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS REFER
TO THE RELEVANT ELECTRICAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
APPROPRIATE TO THE COUNTRY OF OPERATION.
HINTS FOR USING THE RADIO
When transmitting, 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 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.

GENERAL NOTES
MANUAL COMPILATION
This manual provides information on using the SRM9030/SRM9030Plus P25 Mobile Radio.
Details of both ‘basic’ and ‘optional units’ have been included in this User Manual, therefore, some
material may not be relevant to every system. Configuration is dependent upon the specification
by the customer when the equipment was ordered and installed.
CONVENTIONS
Where the word “generally” or “may” is used to describe a facility, this operation is an option that
may be enabled with the P25 Field Personality Programmer (FPP).
In some cases, key functions will be determined by the customer configuration, therefore, when a
key function is referred to in these instructions, the function may be assigned to another physical
location than designated here.
PAGINATION
This manual is divided into a number of sections, each section deals with a certain aspect of the
radio.
Following initial issue, any page that has been amended or updated will also bear an updated
reference.

1INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW
The Simoco SRM9000 Series Radios are a family of versatile Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
controlled, software defined two-way mobile radios.
This User Manual describes the operation of the Association of Public safety Communications
Officials (APCO) P25 Standard compliant Mobile Radio, which consists of an SRM9000
Transceiver, a MA-MAB-2/4 Option Board, and an SRM9030/SRM9030Plus Control Head.
The SRM9030 P25 radios are software programmable and can be customised to the operational
requirements of your particular fleet using the P25 Field Personality Programmer (FPP) prior to
operation. Your Simoco representative can help in programming your radio facilities to meet your
present and future requirements.
1.2 CONFIGURATION
Before you can use the SRM9030 P25 Radio, it must be configured using the P25 FPP. The
configuration process defines and loads the radio channels, signalling and user options/settings so
that the radio will operate with your system.
1.3 MODES OF P25 SRM9030 OPERATION
The SRM9030 P25 Radio operates in Analogue Frequency Modulation (FM), Analogue Trunking,
P25 Conventional and P25 Trunked modes.
Radio channels are organised in groups of up to 250 per zone. Up to 40 zones may be defined.
Generally, zones can be programmed with channels belonging to common function groups.
A radio channel can be defined as either Analogue, a Conventional P25 channel or Trunked P25
network. A Zone may contain a mix of Analogue or Conventional P25 Channels.

3.1 LAYOUT
An example of the main or default screen that is displayed when the radio is switched on is shown
below in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Main/Default screen (SRM9030Plus example).
The screen has three main areas: the Icon Area; the Text Panel; and the Soft Labels area.
3.1.1 Soft Labels
The right-hand side of the screen is used to display the Soft Labels associated with the function
buttons.
The soft label text is defined in the FPP and can be assigned to the F1 to F4 function buttons.
Each soft label can be up to five characters.
3.1.2 Text Panel
The main area of the default screen is the Text Panel, which displays textual information. This
information contains both Persistent and Non-persistent text information as follows:
Persistent Text, e.g. Channel name, Zone name.
oThe Channel Name shows the text associated with the currently selected radio
channel.
oThe Zone Name shows the text associated with the currently selected radio zone.
Non-persistent Text messages, e.g. keypad dial string entries, received status/data
messages, error messages, etc.
3.1.3 Icons
The lower part of the display is reserved for Standard and Special Icons.
There are only six positions for icons to be displayed (see Figure 4 overleaf), however, the number
of icons that can be displayed exceed this. Therefore, some icons will share the same location
(see Table 2 overleaf).
The RSSI Bars is a special Icon and it is displayed on the left of the default screen when a signal
is being received. They indicate the signal strength of the current channel. The stronger the Rx
signal, the more bars will be displayed.
