Troubleshooting: Power-Up Error Codes

 

 

8.3Power-Up Error Codes

When the radio is turned on (power-up), the radio performs self-tests to determine if its basic electronics and software are in working order. When you turn the radio on normally, the radio performs a limited self-test. This allows the radio to achieve full power within two seconds. To allow the radio to perform a full self-test (which extends the time required to achieve full power), press and hold the top side button while turning the radio on. If the self-test is successful, you hear a chirp. If the self-test is unsuccessful, you hear a single, low-frequency tone and see an error code on the radio’s display. The radio should be sent to the depot if cycling power and reprogramming the code plug do not solve the problem. The presence of an error should prompt the user that a problem exists and that a service technician may need to be contacted.

Self-test errors are classified as either fatal or non-fatal. Fatal errors will inhibit user operation; non- fatal errors will not. Use Table 8-2to aid in understanding particular power-up error code displays.
