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. (Refer to page 7
of the full manual) this 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 Volume
• 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.
| ICON | iNDICATION |
 |
The rotating arrow icon shows that the radio is registering with the Trunk Network. It disappears when the radio is In Service. |
 |
The envelope icon indicates that there are one or more stored calls (in the Stored Calls menu). |
 |
 |
 |
The asterisk symbol indicates Call Pending, i.e. there is an outgoing call waiting for the radio to be In Service. |
 |
SWITCH-ON/SWITCH-OFF
• Turn the On/Off/Volume knob clockwise to switch the portable
radio On.
• The display will illuminate and show a Welcome Message
and the Trunk Identity of the radio.
• After a brief time the display will revert to the Phonebook
Screen, at which time the radio is ready for use.
• Turning the On/Off/Volume knob anticlockwise will switch
the portable radio Off.
• If the radio Inactivity Timer is enabled, the radio will
automatically turn Off after a predefined duration of inactivity
as set by the FPP (i.e. no
keys pressed). The radio will emit warning beeps for 10 seconds
prior to switching off. Pressing any key will reset this
timer.
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 ▼ ▲keys until the desired name is shown; then
press the OK key (F4 must be programmed as Callfunction).
Using Direct-Call Function Key:
• The F1, F2, …, F6 keys may be assigned as Direct-Call
keys. Pressing such a key will place a call to the pre-programmed
identity (e.g. Depot).
Through Keypad Entry:
• The Users ID number can be entered directly as a dial-string
using the Keypad (e.g. 4 5 # will call radio unit No 45).
• Dial-strings of up to 30 digits can be used, refer to
Appendix B for numbering convention and valid dial-strings.
Using Quick-Dial Memories:
• The first 20 Phonebook Entries (0-19) can be setup as
twenty Quick-Dial Memories.
• These allow a dial-string for a call number to be dialled
quickly using the keypad to enter the Quick-Dial Memory
number followed by the # key. (e.g. 1 2 # will dial the number
in Quick-Dial Memory location
12). The Phonebook Edit facility allows these numbers to
be changed.
SEND MESSAGE SCREEN
This screen is used to send a free form text message to another
radio.
• Press the numeric keys multiple times to select the required
text characters.
• When the message is complete, press OK to go to the Phonebook
Screen.
• Select the destination address using the ▼ ▲ keys and press
OK to send.
Alternatively, the address can be manually entered from this
Screen.
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. 1 may mean: “Ready for Despatch”.
2 may mean: “At Lunch”.
3 may mean: “Contact Home”, (etc).
A Status Message can be sent in a number of ways similar
to making Voice Calls.
Using the Phonebook
To send a Status Call using the Phonebook:
• Scroll through the Phonebook until the persons name is
displayed (or enter the ID number using the keypad).
• Do not press #.
• Go to the Status Screen (Press M and then select Status
Screen).
• Then use the ▼ ▲keys to scroll through the entries until
the desired message is displayed.
• Press the PTT key 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.
By Dialling the Numbers
If the Status Number and the destination ID Number are known,
use the keypad to enter the numbers in the following format:
* n * x # where n is the Status Message Number (01 – 20),
and
x is and the destination ID Number.
e.g. * 0 2 * 3 5 # where Status Message Number 02 = ‘At Lunch’,
and
destination ID Number 35 = ‘Andrew Jones’ means A Status
Call was sent to ‘Andrew Jones’ indicating the sender was
‘At
Lunch’.
Note: You cannot send a Status Message during a Voice Call.
RECEIVING A CALL
The SRP9180 will respond to incoming calls according to the
type of call being received. There are three types of call:
• Individual Voice Call.
• Group Voice Call.
• Status Message or Data Message.
Receiving an Individual Voice Call
When a call is received the radio will “ring”, 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
PTT key. When you answer the call, both radios will be connected
and will display the audio enabled icon.
A conversation can now take place with each operator taking
turns to press their PTT keys and speaking. When the call
is finished, either operator can end the call by pressing
the nominated Clear * key or pressing * #. 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.
Notes: The SRP9180 responds in the same manner as above
for Priority and Emergency calls. Emergency Calls show Emergency
on the display.
* Note that F6 is usually assigned as the Clear key.
