TROUBLESHOOTING

The problems described in this table are commonly encountered operational malfunctions. These types of difficulties
are usually caused by improper hook-up, accidental incorrect control settings, or operator error due to incomplete
programming. These problems are usually not caused by circuit failure. Please review this table, and the appropriate
section(s) of this instruction manual, before assuming your transceiver is defective.

Note:

Due to frequency relationships of some circuits in this transceiver, beat tones may be heard on the following frequencies: 10.000 MHz,
20.000 MHz and 30.000 MHz. This is not a fault.

Placing a powered handy transceiver near this transceiver may cause noise in this transceiver.

The transceiver will
not power up after
connecting a
13.8 V DC power
supply and pressing
[ ] (POWER).
Nothing appears on
the display, and no
receiver noise is
heard.

After switching ON the
power, the transceiver
does not function
normally. For
example, no digits or
incorrect digits appear
on the display.
After switching ON the
transceiver,
“14.000.00 MHz USB”
appears and all data
is lost; without doing
Full Reset.
The transceiver does
not respond correctly
after pressing button
or key combinations,
or turning controls per
instructions in this
manual.
