The Radio Tune Test function is used primarily by technical personnel. To enter Radio
Tune Test Mode, press Side Button 2 during the interval between the initial display and
the completion of the self test. Pressing Side Button 2 after the self test has completed has
no noticeable effect on the radio other than its programmed functionality. I.e., if Side
Button 2 is pressed after the self test has completed, the radio operates normally and Radio
Tune Test Mode cannot be entered while the radio remains powered.
After pressing Side Button 2 during the self test, the radio completes the self test and
displays the message “Service”. The radio cycles through several informational displays,
which are summarized in Table 3.1.
To stop a display, press the Up Button. To continue displays, press the Down Button. To
quickly cycle through the displays, continue to press the Down button. You cannot go
back to displays that have already been shown.
Upon completion of the information displays, the radio enters a menu mode. The default
option is the RF Test Mode, and the message “RF Test” is displayed. Press Side Button 1
to cycle between the two modes, RF Test Mode and the Control Top and Keypad Test
Mode (displaying “CH Test”), Press the Emergency Button to enter into the test mode that
is currently displayed.
