Helpful Tips

• If poor light conditions make the display, keypad, or channel numbers
(around the 16-Position Select Knob) difficult to read, turn on the radio's
display, keypad, and channel backlights by pressing the Light Button (see
page 2). These lights will remain on for a preprogrammed time before they
turn off automatically, or you can turn them off immediately by pressing
the Light Button again. If, while the lights are 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 lights 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.
