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 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.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW
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 SRM9022 TMR Controller Microphone variant.
The radio consists of a Transceiver unit that may be mounted in the vehicle boot or
under a seat, and a Controller Microphone, which is designed to mount on the
vehicle console or within view and reach of the operator.
The radio is software programmable and 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 SRM9022.
1.2 INSTALLATION
As the installation of your SRM9022 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.
1.3 CONVENTIONS
Where the word “generally” or “may” is used to describe a facility, this operation is an
option that may be enabled with the Radio Field Personality Programmer (FPP).

3. MENU SYSTEM
The SRM9022 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 a complete menu structure of the radios capabilities.
Any or all of the Screens can be programmed or hidden with the following provisos:
The Phone Book Screen is always the default Screen displayed.
The Main Menu provides access to the usual Screens required to operate the radio.
The Setup Sub Menus provides access to the radios setup parameters.
When options are placed in a Setup sub-menu, Setup should be defined as one of
the selections in the Main Menu.
Both the Main Menu and the Setup sub-menus can each hold up to ten Screens.
Programming can allow any menu to be in any position.
3.1 MENU NAVIGATION
The / keys are generally used to navigate through menus, or increase/decrease
a value.

6. CALL TYPES
The Trunking System allows the user to make a number of different types of call.
The SRM9022 supports most of the call types that can be accessed through the
Trunk Network, including:
Voice calls between Individuals or Groups
Include Calls
Status Calls
Priority and Emergency Calls
Diversion Calls
Broadcast Calls
Individual Calls. Allow private conversations between two users. Other users can
be included in the call using an Include Call.
Group 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 SRM9022
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, telephone,
etc. For example, when away from their vehicle, a user can divert calls 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 calls except that only the person who makes
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.

SRM9022 ~ TMR MOBILE RADIO USER GUIDE
© TMC Radio 2006 page 17 TNM-U-E-0068 Issue 2
6.1 MAKING 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 / buttons
until the desired name is shown; then press the OK button (F4 must be
programmed as “Call” function).
Using Direct-Call Function Button:
•The F1…6 buttons may be assigned as Direct-Call buttons. Pressing such a
button will place a call to the pre-programmed identity. e.g. Depot in above
example.
Keypad Entry:
•The Users ID number can be entered directly as a dialstring using the Keypad.
e.g. 45# will call radio unit No 45.
•Dialstrings of up to 30 digits can be used, refer to Appendix B. for numbering
convention and valid dialstrings.
Quick-Dial Memories:
•The first 20 phone Book Entries (0-19) can be setup as twenty Quick-Dial
Memories.
•These allow a dialstring for a call number to be dialed quickly using the keypad to
enter the memory number followed by #e.g. 12# will dial the number in Memory
12. The Phone Book 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 by each operator, in turn, pressing their
Microphone PTT buttons and speaking.
When the call is finished, either operator can end the call by:
•Replacing the Microphone on its bracket
•Pressing the F6 button.
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.

SRM9022 ~ TMR MOBILE RADIO USER GUIDE
© TMC Radio 2006 page 18 TNM-U-E-0068 Issue 2
6.2 MAKING 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. 1may mean: “On the Job”
2 may mean: “At Lunch”
14 may mean: “Contact Home”, etc.
A Status Message can be sent in a number of ways similar to making Voice Calls.
6.2.1 Using the Phonebook
To send a Status Call using the Phonebook:
Scroll through the Phone book until the persons name is displayed (or enter the ID
number using the Keypad).
Do NOT press #.
Go to the Status Screen.
Then use the / buttons to scroll through the entries until the desired message is
displayed.
Press the PTT button 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.
6.2.2 By Dialling the Numbers
If the Status Message Number and the destination ID Number are known, use the
keypad to enter the numbers in the format
*0n*x#where nis the Status Message Number, and
xis and the destination ID Number
e.g. If Status 2 (“At Lunch”) is to be sent to Andrew Jones (Identity 35) :
Enter *02*35#
Note: You cannot send a Status Message during a Voice Call.

SRM9022 ~ TMR MOBILE RADIO USER GUIDE
© TMC Radio 2006 page 19 TNM-U-E-0068 Issue 2
6.3 RECEIVING A CALL
The SRM9022 will respond to incoming calls according to the type of call being
received.
There are three types of call:
•Voice Call.
•Group Voice Call.
•Status Message or Data Message.
6.3.1 Receiving a Voice Call
When a call is received the radio will ring and display the call setup icon and the
origin of the call.
While the radio is ringing, the user can answer the call:
•By pressing the Microphone PTT button
•By removing the Microphone from its bracket.
When you answer the call, both radios will be connected and will display the audio
enabled icon.
A conversation can now take place by each operator, in turn, pressing their
Microphone PTT buttons and speaking.
When the call is finished, either operator can end the call by:
•Replacing the Microphone on its bracket, or
•Pressing the F6 button.
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 SRM9022 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-Set-Up method which
allows the radios to automatically answer incoming Voice Calls or
allows the Caller to speak to the called person while the radio is ringing.

SRM9022 ~ TMR MOBILE RADIO USER GUIDE
© TMC Radio 2006 page 20 TNM-U-E-0068 Issue 2
6.3.2 Receiving a Group Voice Call
A Group Voice Call differs from an individual call in that the operators do not answer
the call. All radios that are members of the Group automatically connect to the group
call.
While in a Group Call, all operators can PTT, in turn, and talk to each other. Only the
Originator can Clear the call. Any operator can leave the Group Call in the same
manner as ending a normal voice call, refer to Section 6.3.1.
Notes: 1. In some Trunk Networks, operators who leave a Group Call are
returned to that Group 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 Call that is in progress.
2. A Broadcast Call is a special type of Group Call in which only the
originator can speak. All other group members are inhibited.
Broadcast calls are originated using dialstrings entered on the
keypad, refer to Appendix B.
6.3.3 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.
