The terminal has established contact with Relay Station x. Relay Station x has attempted to communicate with the Base Station through the 422 cabling with no success. Cable is bad.

The terminal has tried 10 times to get its message through to the Base Station with no success. Could be result of bad radio in base or terminal. Could be the operator has gone out of range of the base- if so, move closer and press any key. Could also be that there are too many terminals competing for radio time on one base station.

One-Way is not allowed if the Base is already in some other mode such as Two-Way or Site Testing which was not properly concluded. Also, if you are SIGNed IN in One-Way mode and someone else SIGNs IN in Two-Way mode, the person in One-Way mode will be kicked out of the system with this message. Two-Way mode ALWAYS supercedes all other modes.

Site Testing is not allowed if the Base is already in some other mode such as Two-Way or One-Way which was not properly concluded. Also, Two-Way mode ALWAYS supercedes other modes. If you are Site Testing and someone SIGNs IN in Two-Way mode, you will be kicked out of the system with this error message.

The firmware has somehow been wiped out – probably from an interrupted firmware download. Press 1 to Download Firmware or press 0 to power off the terminal.

With one ID already SIGNed IN to the host, a second terminal with the same ID tried to SIGN IN. Every terminal requires a unique ID for proper system operation.

The Pick processor cannot communicate. Call for RMA.
