SAF TY
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 TH 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.
