5 BASIC OPERATIONS
5.1. TURNING THE RADIO ON/OFF
To turn the radio On, press the Red handset button (F12), the initial opening screen
will be displayed.
When the radio is switched on and power is applied, the radio displays ‘Simoco Xd’
while the DSP boots up the radio.

To turn the radio Off, press and hold the Red handset button for two seconds. When
the button is released, the radio display will power down.
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.
5.2. ENTERING A PASSWORD
Within the FPP there is a ‘Password’ field. When this field is enabled and defined, the
radio will wait for the user to enter the correct four digit Personal Identification
Number (PIN) before entering an operational state.
When entering the password, only the numeric keys 0-9 can be used. An asterisk ‘*’
will be displayed for each key press. After the 4th number is entered, the radio will
automatically verify the number and, if correct, the radio will display the welcome
screen.
If incorrect, the radio will sound an error beep and clear the entered PIN, to allow the
user to try again.
If the wrong PIN is entered three times, the radio will switch off.
