Preparing Your Radio for Use
This section provides simple instructions to prepare your radio for use.
2.1
Turning On the Radio
Procedure:
1
Press and hold the Power Button to power on the radio.
A
B
After a short time, the red, yellow, and green LEDs light up. The display then shows the
following:
• Current zone and channel text
• Codeplug Alias
• Menu items on the home screen
The backlight turns on to the last selected dim level.
NOTICE:
If Fail ##/## appears on the display, the radio is unable to function until the condition
has been corrected.
If Error ##/## appears, some non-critical data has been changed. If the display goes
blank, or if the unit appears to be locked up, see Radio Care on page 11 for more
information.
If Ch mismatch appears, means that either the Control Head has been connected to an
incompatible transceiver, or vice versa.
If your radio does not power up, contact your system administrator.
2 To turn off the radio, press the Power button after the LEDs light up.
2.2
Adjusting the Volume
Procedure:
1 To increase the volume, rotate the Multi-Function Knob
