General Radio Operations
After a fully-charged battery and an antenna have been connected to the radio, you can begin operation. If necessary, refer to page 2 to ensure a complete understanding of the radio’s controls and indicators. Also, for your convenience, the “Additional Information” section (starting on page 33) contains a glossary, alert tone table, helpful tips, and an index.

Radio On
Turn the radio on by rotating the On/Off/Volume Control Knob clockwise.
The radio then goes through a power-up self test. When the radio passes the self test, a medium- pitched tone sounds. This tone is programmable through radio service software.
If the radio fails the self test, a low-pitched tone will sound. Turn the radio off, check the battery, and turn the radio back on. If the radio still does not pass its self test, contact your nearest authorized service technician.
Radio Off
Turn the radio off by rotating the On/Off/Volume
Control Knob counterclockwise until you hear a click.
