Turning the radio on and off
Rotate the power/volume control switch clockwise to
turn the radio on. Rotate the switch counterclockwise
to turn the radio off.
When the radio is first turned on, the status LED briefly
glows red, and the radio gives two short beeps.
Your radio may not turn on if your battery is very
low. (See "Low battery warning" on page 137.)
Using ‘protective power-down’
If your radio is programmed with the ‘protective
power-down’ feature, you also need to press either
function key 2 (side key 1) or function key 3 (side
key 2) in order to turn off the radio. This prevents you
inadvertently turning off the radio when adjusting the
volume to a low level.
To turn the radio off:
■ Rotate the power/volume control switch fully coun-
terclockwise.
■ Short press either function key 2 or 3
(side key 1 or 2).
Security lock on power-up feature
Your radio may be automatically locked each time it is
powered-up. If the message
Enter PIN appears in the
display, enter your assigned PIN (personal
identification number). See “Unlocking the radio”
below.
