MICROPROCESSOR RESET

If your transceiver seems to be malfunctioning, resetting the microprocessor may solve the problem. The following 3 reset modes are available. When performing the reset, you may lose memory data and stored information. Back up or write down important data before performing the reset.

INITIAL SETTINGS

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

A-band: 144.000 MHz/ FM

B-band: 440.000 MHz/ FM (TH-F6A)

B-band: 430.000 MHz/ FM (TH-F7E)

The Memory channels have no data stored. Refer to pages 19 and 20 for the Call Channels and Information Channels default values.

VFO RESET

This resets the transceiver parameters excluding the Menu contents and Memory channel contents.

Note: Menu No. 4 (PROG VFO) and No. 6 (OFFSET) return to the factory default values.

MENU RESET

This resets the parameters only in the Menu items to factory default values.

FULL RESET

This resets all transceiver parameters to the factory default values.
