TROUBLESHOOTING
ERROR CODES
Your HTX-212 has the following three built-in error codes.
tF Err—appears if you try to transmit outside the allowed range (see
“Extending the Transmit Frequency Range” on Page 17).
PLL Err—appears if the HTX-212’s PLL (phase-locked loop) section
malfunctions. If turning the HTX-212 off then back on does not correct this
error, take it to your local Radio Shack store to arrange for service.
EEP Err—appears if the HTX-212’s EEPROM checksum fails. Try reset-
ting the HTX-212 (see “Resetting the HTX-212”). If this does not clear the
error, take it to your local Radio Shack store to arrange for service.
