GETTING STARTED
This User Manual covers the basic operation of the Simoco SDP650 Digital Portable radios.
The radios are software programmable and can be customised to the operational requirements of
a customer’s specific needs. Simoco representatives can help in programming the radio facilities
to meet a customer’s present and future requirements.
Users should check with their Simoco dealer or system administrator about the features
programmed into the radio and specifically about:
Whether any preset conventional channels are programmed into the radio?
Which buttons have been programmed to access other features?
The optional accessories that may be required?
