General Safety
1. Do not operate your portable radio 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 dispose of batteries in a fire
4. Only recharge batteries in an approved SRP9180 Charger
IECEx Intrinsically Safe Radios
Radio models approved for use in hazardous environments according to the IECEx Scheme
are marked with an approval number.
Refer to the label on the radio for the IECEx compliance level.
The following MUST be observed to maintain the IECEx protection rating:
• Use only approved SIMOCO battery, part number PAR-9180BATL2i or PAR-9180BATL3i
.
• Battery charging must only be carried out in non-hazardous areas, using an approved
battery charger.
• Metal belt clips must NOT be used in hazardous areas.
• It is a requirement that when the radio is used in a hazardous area that either the SRP9180
Accessory Cover Assy (6102 350 1446) or an approved Simoco IECEx accessory is fitted
(refer Section 8 for list of approved accessories).
• Approved accessories may only be connected and disconnected outside the hazardous
areas.
• Prior to use in a hazardous area, inspect the radio and accessories for signs of damage.
Any visible signs of damage to the radio or accessories may compromise the integrity and
safety of the radio. A damaged radio or accessories must be repaired or replaced prior to use
in a hazardous area.
• Incorrect storage, handling or operation of the radio and accessories, as specified in
Simoco published User Guides and Service Manuals, may compromise the safety and
integrity of the radio or accessories.
• Approved labels stating the IECEx rating level must be on the radio and accessories, and
be legible, before their use in a hazardous area.
Hints for Using the Radio
• When speaking, hold the radio a few centimetres from your mouth and speak across it,
rather than into it. The microphone is located near the bottom right hand corner of the
portable radio’s speaker grille.
• Keep the length of your conversation to a minimum to conserve battery life.
• When it is possible to move location, avoid making calls from known poor signal-strength
areas such as the radio system’s fringe areas (limit of range) or from screened or
shadowed areas, e.g. an underground car park or underpass.

1 INTRODUCTION
1 1 O
VERVIEW
The SRP9180 Series Radio is a versatile Digital Signal Processor (DSP) controlled, two-way
portable radio. The SRP9180 Series Radio is available in a number of frequency bands for
specific applications.
The radio is software programmable and can be customised to the operational requirements
of your particular fleet. Your Simoco representative can help in programming your radio
facilities to meet your present and future requirements.
A wide-range of accessories is available to complement the SRP9180 Series Radio
including: chargers, antenna, headsets, covert kits, holsters and carry cases. Refer to
Simoco website for comprehensive descriptions.
This guide describes the facilities that are currently available and can be programmed into
the MPT1327 Trunked Mobile Radio (TMR) mode of the SRP9180 series.
1 2 C
ONFIGURATION
Before you can use the SRP9180, it must be configured using the Field Personality
Programmer (FPP). This configuration process loads the customised channels, signalling
and user options so the radio will operate with your system.
The FPP will also update the radio software automatically, if required.
1 3 C
ONVENTIONS
Where the word “generally” or “may” is used to describe a facility, this operation is an option
that may be enabled with the FPP.
References to the SRP9180 also apply to the non-keypad version (SRP9170) except where
keypad operation is described.

3 MENU SYSTEM
The SRP9180 radio software uses a programmed menu structure to enable the operator to
access the radio options. The structure of the menu can be configured to meet the
customer’s specific needs using the FPP.
Figure 2 (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
FPP.
There are Setup sub-menus that provide access to radio setup parameters.
Possible Menu entries are:
• Phone Book
• Recall
• Stored Calls
• Call Types
• Status
• Setup
• User Options
• Group
• Phone Book Edit
• Alert olume
• Radio Information
• Mode Selection or Network Selection
• Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI)
• Send Message
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 the FPP.
3 1 M
ENU NAVIGATION
The M key is generally used to select Menu mode from the main Screen. Once in Menu
mode, the ▼ ▲ keys cycle through the menus.
To exit Menu mode, press the M key again or the Menu timeout will exit automatically.

and the OK key selects the function.
The ▼ ▲keys are generally used to navigate through a list of options Phonebook entries, or
to increase or decrease a value.
