MICROPROCESSOR RESET

If your transceiver seems to be malfunctioning, resetting the microprocessor default settings may resolve the problem. There are 2 levels of resetting the microprocessor of the TS-480 transceiver: Partial Reset and Full Reset.

INITIAL SETTINGS

For each VFO, the factory defaults for the operating frequency and mode are as follows:

VFO A: 14.000.00 MHz/ USB

VFO B: 14.000.00 MHz/ USB

The Memory channels and Quick Memory channels have no data stored.

PARTIAL RESET

Perform a Partial Reset if a key or control does not function according to the instructions in this manual. The following data is NOT erased by performing a Partial Reset.

Memory channel data

Menu settings

Antenna tuner preset data

ANT 1/ ANT 2 selection data

Frequency and mode data for the Auto Mode function

Various adjustment setting values

Reset the transceiver by pressing [A/B / M/V]+[ ].

A confirmation message appears when performing the Partial Reset. Press [A/B / M/V] to proceed. Otherwise, press any other key to cancel the Partial Reset and return to normal operation.

The VFOs reset to the factory default values.

FULL RESET

Perform a Full Reset if you want to erase all the data in all the memory channels. In addition, this function resets all the settings that you customized, to the factory defaults (i.e.- menu settings, antenna tuner preset data, etc.).

Reset the transceiver by pressing [A=B/ SPLIT]+[ ].

A confirmation message appears when performing Full Reset. Press [A=B/ SPLIT] to proceed. Otherwise, press any other key to cancel the Full Reset and return to normal operation.

When you perform the Full Reset:

All frequencies, modes, memory data, adjustment values, and AT preset data are set to the factory default values.

DEMONSTRATION MODE

The transceiver can be configured to enter the demonstration mode for display purposes. To enter the demonstration mode:

1Switch the transceiver OFF.

2Press [MENU/ F.LOCK]+[ ] to switch the transceiver ON.

The display brightness changes, the LED turns ON/ OFF, and alpha-numeric segments turn ON/ OFF automatically.

If you operate the transceiver while in the demonstration mode, the demonstration is temporarily paused. But, if no operation is performed for more than 10 seconds, the demonstration starts again.

3To exit the demonstration mode, first turn the transceiver OFF, then press

[MENU/ F.LOCK]+[ ] to turn the transceiver ON.

Note: You cannot exit the demonstration mode by simply switching the transceiver OFF. You must switch the transceiver OFF then press [MENU/ F.LOCK]+[ ] to turn the transceiver ON in order to exit the demonstration mode.
