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 signalstrength 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 PMR 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 the radio options. The structure of the menu can be programmed
to meet the specific needs of individual customers.
Figure 3-1 (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 Field Programmer.
There are setup sub-menus that provide access to radio setup parameters.
Possible Menu entries are:

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 FPP software.
3.1
MENU NAVIGATION
The “M” key is generally used to select Menu mode from the main Channel Screen.
Once in Menu mode, the ▲ and ▼ keys cycle through the menus.
To exit Menu mode, press the “M” key again or the Menu timeout will exit
automatically. Generally, pressing “M” key while in a menu backs up to the next
highest level of menu and the “OK” button selects the function.
The ▲ and ▼ keys are generally used to navigate through a list of options such as
channels, or increase/decrease a value.

Hold the microphone a few centimeters from the mouth, press the “Press to talk”
(PTT) switch and note that the Tx-LED is RED. Speak clearly across the face of the
microphone in a normal conversational manner.
In most systems it is important to wait a short time between pressing PTT and
commencing to speak. This ensures that the path is properly established and avoids
lost or distorted speech.
Use the correct operating procedure and keep transmissions short.
Release the PTT switch as soon as the message is finished.
Notes:
1. A channel may be programmed as “Receive-only” or “Transmit Inhibit” may be
programmed which disallows PTT while the radio is receiving a signal. A
continuous tone will be heard if PTT is disallowed.
2. A Transmit Limit Timer may be setup that limits a continuous transmission on a
channel. The last 10 seconds before the timer expires may be accompanied by
warning tones.
3. The radio may be programmed to send a Selcall (ANI) when the PTT is pressed
or released. This may introduce a short delay before the microphone is enabled or
after PTT is released.

SELCALL FUNCTIONS
Selcall is a PMR signalling option that allows the mobile radio to initiate or respond to
an identifying number. Selcall is generally used to allow individual mobiles (or
groups of mobiles) in that system to be to be selectively called.
5.4.1 Receiving a Selcall
A number of different options can be set up by the FPP to sound various alert tones
when a selcall is received. Consult your dealer for a detailed explanation of your
radios set up.
When a Selcall is received the radio may respond by:
•
Showing a flashing or solid
icon to indicate
that the radio has been Called or is On-call, or
•
sounding an Alert tone, or displaying the Name
of the caller (if it exists in the Phonebook) or the
numerical identity of the caller (if unknown) on
the display.
This is the alternative Selcall receive Idle Screen,
showing the received Selcall and received Status
information.
Pressing PTT and/or removing the Microphone from
its Cradle may change the state of the icon, stop
the Alert tone and enable the speaker audio.
Replacing the Microphone back into its Cradle may clear the
the speaker).

5.4.2 Sending a Selcall
Selcalls are generally sent by accessing the Phonebook Screen (page 12) or the
Status Screen (page 12) for methods of sending a Selcall.
5.4.3 Other Selcall Functions
The SRM9022 has several other functions that affect how the radio operates with
received signals or selcalls. These are described later in this booklet under the

SCAN FUNCTIONS
Scanning consists of sequentially searching up to 15 channels for a valid signal (RF,
CTCSS or DCS tone). When found the radio will stop on that channel until the signal
disappears again.
The Microphone may need to be in the cradle, (on hook) for the radio to scan.
While listening on the channel, the User may PTT on that channel. After the signal
disappears the radio will remain listening on the channel for a short time (typically 3
seconds) before resuming scanning. PTT is inhibited while the Mic is in cradle.
If a Priority/Emergency Channel is assigned, the radio will interleave a check of this
channel between each normal channel check. The radio may also check the Priority
Channel every few seconds while stopped on a channel. If a signal is found on the
Priority Channel then the radio will switch to that channel immediately.
If programmed, the Priority Channel is automatically selected when the Microphone
is removed from cradle.
To activate Scanning, press the SCAN Function button from the Main Channel
Screen.
5.5.1 Scan Screen
The display shows the name of the current ScanGroup (e.g. “ScanChGrp”), which may be changed
using the and buttons.
The Scan-Group Number is shown at the top-left of
the display, i.e. 1…4 if it is a User Scan-Group, or
blank for Fixed Scan-Groups. While the Scan Screen
is displayed the radio is scanning the shown group.
The Scan Screen does not time-out. Normal exit is via the OK button.
The RSSI indicator shows the received signal strength as the radio is scanning.
All other buttons have the same assignments as in the Main Channel Screen.
When stopped on a channel, the name of the selected site, and the “rotating arrow”
symbol is replaced by the Speaker symbol.
To temporarily skip the channel from the Scan-Group, press OK then select “Skip”.
Skipped channels are restored when a different Scan Group is selected or if Scan is
exited. The Priority Channel cannot be skipped.
OK: Edit is only active for User Scan Groups and opens up the Scan-Edit Screen for
the selected Scan-Group allowing Channels to be added, deleted or set as the
priority channel (see below).

While listening on the channel, the User can PTT on that channel. After the signal
disappears (or Microphone is placed back in Cradle) the radio will remain listening on
the channel for a short time before resuming scanning.
The Microphone may need to be in cradle for the radio to scan. If the Microphone is
left off-cradle for too long then the radio may sound a continuous alert tone until it is
replaced.
DTMF (if enabled) is only active when the Mic is out of cradle.
The Keypad may NOT be used for quick channel change (e.g. 456#) in this Screen.

12. APPENDIX C – COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE
GUIDELINES (UNITED STATES AND CANADA)
RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS.
Before using your TMC Radio mobile two-way radio, read this important RF energy awareness and
control information and operational instructions to ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure
guidelines.
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in Occupational/ controlled conditions in a mobile
application where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over
their exposure to meet FCC limits. This radio device is NOT authorised for general population,
consumer, or any other use.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between
two or more users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is
one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, electric power, sunlight and x-rays. RF
energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly can
cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health and industry work with organizations to develop standards for exposure to
RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure forboth workers and the general public. These
recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of protection. All two-way radios marketed is North America
are designed, manufactured and tested to ensure they meet government established RF exposure levels. In addition,
manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important
because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. Please refer to the
following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure
compliance with established RF exposure limits.
http:l/www.fcc. gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-fags. htm 1
http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencvradiation/index.htmi
Federal Communications Commission Regulations:
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for mobile
two-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios are used as a
consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their
exposure to meet occupational requirements. An exposure awareness label is attached to the
equipment directing users to specific awareness information.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your TMC two-way radio is designed to comply with a number of national and international standards
and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy.
This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for Occupational/ Controlled RF
exposure environment at duty factors of up to 50% talk 50% listen and is authorised by the FCC for
occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines,
your radio radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is
receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your TMC Radio two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and
guidelines:
•
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR
part 2 sub-part J
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95. 1-1992

SRM9022 ~ PMR MOBILE RADIO USER GUIDE
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and
Operating Instructions
To control exposure to yourself and others and ensure compliance with the Occupational/ Controlled
environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines:
•
User awareness instructions should accompany the device when transferred to other users.
•
Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
Instructions:
•
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the
Push-To-Talk button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time,
or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when
transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
•
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum lateral
distance away, as shown in Tables 1 and 2, from a properly installed according to installation
instructions, externally-mounted antenna.
NOTE- Table 1a) lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for bystanders in an uncontrolled
environment from the transmitting antenna for the SRM9000AC (150MHz-174MHz) mobile rated
power (25 watts) installed in a vehicle. Table 1b) lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for
occupational/ controlled use.
Table 2a) lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for bystanders in an uncontrolled
environment from the transmitting antenna for the SRM9000UW (440MHz-512MHz) mobile rated
power (25 watts) installed in a vehicle. Table 2b) lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for
occupational/ controlled use.

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.

SRM9030 ~ PMR Mobile Radio User Guide
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 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
INSTALLATION
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.

MENU NAVIGATION
The Up/Down Arrow buttons enable you to scroll from the Main Menu
through all of the Menu Screens.

5.3
TRANSMITTING
To avoid interfering with other users of the channel, listen first to ensure no
transmissions are occurring. Make sure that the Outline Speaker Icon
is
not shown.
Hold the microphone a few centimetres from the mouth, press the “Press to
talk” (PTT) switch and note that the Tx-LED is RED. Speak clearly across the
face of the microphone in a normal conversational manner.
In most systems it is important to wait a short time between pressing PTT and
commencing to speak. This ensures that the path is properly established and
avoids lost or distorted speech.
Use the correct operating procedure and keep transmissions short.
Release the PTT switch as soon as the message is finished.
Notes: 1
5.3.1
A channel may be programmed as “Receive-only” or “Transmit
Inhibit” may be programmed which disallows PTT while the radio is
receiving a signal. A continuous tone will be heard if PTT is
attempted.
A Transmit Limit Timer may be setup that limits a continuous
transmission on a channel. The last 10 seconds before the timer
expires may be accompanied by warning tones.
The radio may be programmed to send a Selcall (ANI) when the
PTT is pressed or released. This may introduce a short delay before
the microphone is enabled or after PTT is released.
VOX Operation
If Voice Operated Transmit (VOX) is enabled, and the hands-free microphone
is fitted, the radio will automatically transmit all speech it hears and then return
to receive.

5.4.1
SELCALL FUNCTIONS
Receiving a Selcall
A number of different options can be set up by your dealer to sound various
alert tones when a selcall is received. Consult your dealer for a detailed
explanation of your radios set up.
When a Selcall is received the radio may respond by:
•
Showing a flashing or solid
Called or is On-call,
•
Sounding an Alert tone, or
icon to indicate that the radio has been
•
Displaying the Name of the caller (if it exists in the Phonebook) or the
numerical identity of the caller (if unknown) in the Name field.
Pressing PTT and/or removing the Microphone from its Cradle will change the
state of the
icon, stop the Alert tone and enable the speaker audio.
Replacing the Microphone back into its Cradle will clear the
icon (and/or
mute the speaker).
5.4.2
Sending a Selcall
Refer to sections on Phonebook Screen (page 7) and Status Screen (page 8)
for methods of sending a Selcall.
5.4.3
Other Selcall Functions
The SRM9030 has several other functions that affect how the radio operates
with received signals or selcalls. These are described later in this booklet
under the headings:

5.5
SCAN FUNCTIONS
Scanning consists of sequentially searching up to 15 channels for a valid
signal (RF, CTCSS or DCS tone). When found the radio will stop on that
channel until the signal disappears again.
The Microphone needs to be in the cradle, (on hook) for the radio to scan.
While listening on the channel, the User can PTT on that channel. After the
signal disappears the radio will remain listening on the channel for a short time
(typically 3 seconds) before resuming scanning. PTT is inhibited while the Mic
is in cradle.
If a Priority/Emergency Channel is
Func 1
assigned, the radio will interleave a check of
Skip

check. The radio may also check the Priority
Channel every few seconds while stopped on
Edit
MESSAGE LINE
a channel. If a signal is found on the Priority
Exit
Channel then the radio will switch to that
channel immediately.
If programmed, the Priority Channel is automatically selected when the
Microphone is removed from cradle.
To activate Scanning, press the SCAN Function button from the Main Channel
Screen.

Scan Screen
The display shows the name of the current Scan-Group (e.g. “Scan RSE”),
which can be changed using the Left/Right Arrow buttons. The Scan-Group
Number is shown at the top-left of the display, i.e. 1…4 if it is a User ScanGroup, or blank for Fixed Scan-Groups. While the Scan Screen is displayed
the radio is scanning the shown group.
The Scan Screen does not time-out. Normal exit is via
Exit.
The RSSI indicator shows the received signal strength as the radio is
scanning.
The
Function button has the same assignment as in the Main Channel
Screen.
The

The ,
and buttons are reassigned as shown.
When stopped on a channel, the Message-Line shows the name of the
selected site, and the “rotating arrow” symbol is replaced by the Speaker
symbol.
Skip
temporarily deletes the channel from the Scan-Group. Skip is only
shown when stopped on a channel and the Microphone is in Cradle. Skipped
channels are restored when a different Scan Group is selected or if Scan is
exited. The Priority Channel cannot be skipped.
“Edit” is only shown for User Scan Groups and opens up the Scan-Edit Screen
for the selected Scan-Group allowing Channels to be added, deleted or set as
the priority channel (see below).
While listening on the channel, the User can PTT on that channel. After the
signal disappears (or Microphone is placed back in Cradle) the radio will
remain listening on the channel for a short time before resuming scanning.
The Microphone needs to be in cradle for the radio to scan. If the Microphone
is left off-cradle for too long then the radio will sound a continuous alert tone
until it is replaced.
If the radio is not stopped on a channel (and no Priority channel is defined)
when the Mic is removed from Cradle, then the channel shown on the display
prior to “Scan” being activated is selected.
DTMF (if enabled) is only active when the Mic is out of cradle.
The Up/Down Scroll Buttons allow access to the other Screens (not Main
Channel Screen). When these other menus time out they return to the Scan
Screen.
The Keypad may NOT be used for quick channel change (e.g. 456#) in this
Screen.

Appendix C – Compliance with RF Energy Exposure
Guidelines (United States and Canada)
RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION
AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE
REQUIREMENTS.
Before using your TMC Radio mobile two-way radio, read this important RF
energy awareness and control information and operational instructions to
ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines.
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in Occupational/ controlled
conditions in a mobile application where users have full knowledge of
their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC
limits. This radio device is NOT authorised for general population,
consumer, or any other use.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF)
spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a
distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and
receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms
include, but are not limited to, electric power, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy,
however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic
energy, which when used improperly can cause biological damage. Very high
levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health and industry work with
organizations to develop standards for exposure to RF energy. These
standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure forboth workers and
the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include
substantial margins of protection. All two-way radios marketed is North
America are designed, manufactured and tested to ensure they meet
government established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also
recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These
instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy
exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. Please refer to
the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and
how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF
exposure limits.

Federal Communications Commission Regulations:
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy
exposure limits for mobile two-way radios before they can be marketed in the
U.S. When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the
FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to
meet occupational requirements. An exposure awareness label is attached to
the equipment directing users to specific awareness information.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your TMC two-way radio is designed to comply with a number of national and
international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with
the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for Occupational/ Controlled RF
exposure environment at duty factors of up to 50% talk 50% listen and is
authorised by the FCC for occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy
for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio radiates
measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it
is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your TMC Radio two-way radio complies with the following RF energy
exposure standards and guidelines:
•
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal
Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992

SRM9030 ~ PMR Mobile Radio User Guide
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and
Operating Instructions
To control exposure to yourself and others and ensure compliance with the
Occupational/ Controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the
following procedures.
Guidelines:
•
User awareness instructions should accompany the device when
transferred to other users.
•
Do not use this device if the operational requirements described
herein are not met.
Instructions:
•
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To
transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk button. To receive calls,
release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is
important because this radio generates measurable RF energy
exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards
compliance).
•
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the
recommended minimum lateral distance away, as shown in Tables 1
and 2, from a properly installed according to installation instructions,
externally-mounted antenna.
NOTE- Table 1a) lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for
bystanders in an uncontrolled environment from the transmitting antenna for
the SRM9000AC (150MHz-174MHz) mobile rated power (25 watts) installed in
a vehicle. Table 1b) lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for
occupational/ controlled use.
Table 2a) lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for bystanders in an
uncontrolled environment from the transmitting antenna for the SRM9000UW
(440MHz-512MHz) mobile rated power (25 watts) installed in a vehicle. Table
2b) lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for occupational/
controlled use.
