Before we turn the power on, make sure you have attached the battery and antenna as
described in Chapter 1, Initial setup.
Turning the unit on
To power the radio on, simply rotate the volume/power knob clockwise until you hear a
"click". If your radio powers on correctly there should be an audible double beep after about
one second and the display will show a message or flash the LCD depending on settings
for about one second (see "38 PON MSG - Power On Message" in Appendix B' Menu
definitions). Then it will display a frequency or channel. If the Voice prompt is enabled, the
voice will announce "frequency mode" or "channel mode".
You can get additional information about your radio when you turn it on by holding down
miscellaneous keys as you turn it on.
