When the radio won’t turn on
If the radio LED doesn’t light up red briefly when the
radio is turned on, power is likely not reaching the
radio. Check the following:
■ Is the battery firmly attached to the radio?
■ Is the battery sufficiently charged?
■ Is the battery charger working properly?
If all appears to be in order, but your radio still fails to
operate properly, contact your radio provider for
further assistance.
