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. © TMC Radio 2004 TNM-U-E-0003 Issue 7 SRM9030 ~ PMR Mobile Radio User Guide 2.

TNM-U-E-0003 Issue 7 Page 10 © TMC Radio 2004 SRM9030 ~ PMR Mobile Radio User Guide 5.2 RECEIVING Scan Groups Channel No. ICON LABEL 1 1234 LABEL 2 Channel Name LABEL 3 MESSAGE LINE LABEL 4 The radio will listen on the displayed Channel. The Solid Speaker Icon will show when a valid signal is being received and audio will be heard at the Loudspeaker. An Outline Speaker Icon will show if a signal is present but the audio is muted for some reason (e.g. incorrect CTCSS tone, or the Selcall Mute is closed). Changing channels can be achieved by any of the following: • Pressing the Left/Right Arrow buttons. • Entering the desired channel number from the Keypad and pressing # (e.g. 12#). • Pressing a Go-to-Channel Function Button, refer to Section 7.11. Note: If the displayed channel is a Vote or MultiAx channel then the Rotating Arrow symbol will be displayed while the radio is searching for a signal. When stopped on a channel the Rotating Arrow disappears and the selected Channel Name is shown on the Message Line. © TMC Radio 2004 11 TNM-U-E-0003 Issue 7 SRM9030 ~ PMR Mobile Radio User Guide 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 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 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. TNM-U-E-0003 Issue 7 Page 12 © TMC Radio 2004 SRM9030 ~ PMR Mobile Radio User Guide 5.4 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: Monitor/Reset (refer to Section 7.1) Reset (refer to Section 7.3) Transpond Enable (refer to Section 7.7) Send-1, Send-2 (refer to Section 7.6) Special Encode1...8 (refer to Section 7.12) © TMC Radio 2004 13 TNM-U-E-0003 Issue 7 SRM9030 ~ PMR Mobile Radio User Guide 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 this channel between each normal channel Scan RSE 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. TNM-U-E-0003 Issue 7 Page 14 © TMC Radio 2004 SRM9030 ~ PMR Mobile Radio User Guide 5.5.1 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 (Orange button) and F6 (on Microphone) are both still active. 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. © TMC Radio 2004 15 TNM-U-E-0003 Issue 7 SRM9030 ~ PMR Mobile Radio User Guide 5.5.2 Scan-Edit Screen In the Scan-Edit Screen the display shows the Channel List (excluding Vote and MultiAx channels) and the Message-Line shows either “Member”, “Priority” or is blank for channels that are not scanned. Press (Prty) to make the displayed Channel the Priority Channel (replacing any previous Priority Channel assignment, which is then made a normal member of the group). Press (Add) to add the displayed Channel. If the Scan-Group is full, then errorbeeps sound. Press 19 Prty 12 4 Del Mt Bigfoot Member Add OK (Del) to remove the displayed Channel. Press (OK) to exit back to the Scan Screen (like Red-Handset). Scroll Buttons are used to select the channels. Keypad allows Channel-Change strings (e.g. 456# goes to Channel 456) to valid channels that may be included in the Scan Group (i.e. not Vote or MultiAx channels). 5.6 MUTE LEVEL SETTING When the Mute Adjust Screen is selected the Left/Right Arrow buttons allow the displayed Radio Mute level to be adjusted. The level is stored when the Screen is exited. 5.7 DTMF OPERATION When DTMF is enabled, DTMF tones can be sent using the Keypad from the Main Channel Screen. Pressing 0...9, * and # will send the associated tones. The tone period and gap are set by the programmer. DTMF can be enabled in several ways: • via the DTMF option in the User-Options sub-menu under the SETUP Menu (refer to Section 6). • If the DTMF Function is assigned to a F1...4 button, DTMF is enabled when the button indicator is ON. TNM-U-E-0003 Issue 7 Page 16 © TMC Radio 2004 SRM9030 ~ PMR Mobile Radio User Guide 5.8 EXTERNAL ALERT Provision is made to connect an external alerting device to the rear of the radio. The external alert may be activated when a selcall is received (and cancelled by a timeout, user intervention or receiving a different selcall). This function is enabled by software programming. When enabled, the External Alert may be switched On or Off using a Function button. A Chevron is displayed next to the button Label when the function is On. 5.9 AUXILIARY OUTPUT Provision is made for connection to an Auxiliary Output on the rear of the radio.

TNM-U-E-0003 Issue 7 Page 26 © TMC Radio 2004 SRM9030 ~ PMR Mobile Radio User Guide Appendix B – Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Guidelines 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 © TMC Radio 2004 27 TNM-U-E-0003 Issue 7 SRM9030 ~ PMR Mobile Radio User Guide 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 • Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition TNM-U-E-0003 Issue 7 Page 28 © TMC Radio 2004 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.
