6 COMMON FUNCTIONS AND FACILITIES 6.1. SWITCH ON/SWITCH OFF The On/Off power switch on the SRM9022 is a red push-button located on the top right-hand side of the radio controller microphone. To turn the mobile on, press and hold the button down until a beep is heard. The radio will turn on after about one second.
6.3. VOLUME ADJUSTMENT The Volume Control adjusts the speech level at the radio speaker. The volume is adjusted by the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on the top of the SRM9022 Controller Microphone. Note:- The radio may be programmed so that the volume cannot be completely turned off.
6.5. RECEIVED INDIVIDUAL CALLS Unanswered received individual calls addressed to the radio are stored in radio memory. The caller unit ID may be viewed, answered and deleted by the user as desired. A newly received individual call addressed to the radio sounds an alert tone periodically until the user presses any key.
In most systems it is important to wait a short time between pressing the PTT and commencing to speak. This ensures that the path is properly established and avoids lost, truncated or distorted speech. While transmitting, the vertical bars on the left hand side will indicate the transmit power level programmed for that channel.
6.7.1. Scan/Vote Screen A Scan can be started by: • Pressing the function key that has been assigned the scan function by the FPP; or • Selecting a zone channel that has been assigned to automatically scan by the FPP; •...
6.8. KEYPAD LOCK The radio has a Keypad Lock function that prevents accidental key presses. The SRM9022 Controller Microphone keypad lock function may be enabled by the FPP during configuration. If this function is activated, a key lock icon will be displayed in the bottom right-hand side of the display when the keypad is locked.
6.10.2. Making an Emergency Call When the emergency key is pressed and held for a specific time (determined by the FPP), the radio will change to emergency mode. Under emergency mode, the radio can operate in three FPP configurable modes: ...
This section lists Functions that may be programmed to the programmable function keys. Consult Simoco for those functions that have been programmed in to your radio. 7.1. ALARM The Alarm function key is used to put the radio into Emergency Mode.
If the Talk Around function is enabled and selected, then Talk Around will be cancelled when the channel is changed. 7.4. CRYPTO The Crypto function provides a shortcut to the Encryption select menu for user selection of the current encryption key. 7.5.
This function is unaffected by channel change. 7.8. MENU The Menu function key is used for accessing the menu system and selects the first main menu entry. This is normally assigned to the F1 key, labelled ‘M’. 7.9. MODE This function is a short cut to the Mode menu. The Mode menu is used to change radio modes, e.g.
Scan is supported in both analogue and digital mode. If scan is enabled for the current channel in the current zone and auto scan is not enabled, then start scanning the channels defined in the current channel’s scan group. The second press of the scan key will turn scanning off.
7.17. TALK AROUND This function will change the Transmit and Receive frequencies (and CTCSS tones) so that a local Repeater can be bypassed. It is supported in both analogue and digital mode. The first button press will redefine the channel’s Rx\Tx frequencies as specified by the FPP Talk Around field: ...
