Helpful Tips

• If poor light conditions make the channel numbers (around the 16-
Position Select Knob) difficult to read, turn on the radio's backlight by
pressing the Light Button (see page 2). This light will remain on for a
preprogrammed time before it turns off automatically, or you can turn
it off immediately by pressing the Light Button again. If, while the light
is on, any key or button is pressed (except for the Volume Knob and the
PTT Switch), any knob is turned, or any toggle switch is moved, the light
will remain on for an additional time period.
• Your radio's squelch level can be reprogrammed at an authorized service
facility.
• If you suspect a radio problem, check the following items before
requesting service:
1. Radio Checks
• Be sure the radio is turned on and the 16-Position Select Knob
is in the proper position.
• Replace or recharge the battery. The first time a new battery is
used, it should charge a minimum of 16 hours.
• The antenna must be screwed on properly, with its base flush
against the top of the radio.
• Could your radio problem be caused by accessories improperly
connected?
• Try operating the radio from several different locations,
especially when using the radio inside buildings.
• Check the transmitter by transmitting to an alternate portable
radio.
2. Operating Instructions
Review your operating instructions and ensure that you are using
the radio properly.
3. Problem Not Solved
If, after following steps 1 and 2, your radio still has a problem,
review your service agreement and call the applicable Motorola
service representative. If you do not have a service agreement on
your radio, contact your nearest authorized Motorola service shop
for guidance toward a prompt and expedient evaluation and/or
repair.
