RF Test Mode

When the ASTRO APX 7000 radio is operating in its normal environment, the radio's microcomputer

customer codeplug configuration. However, when the unit is on the bench for testing, alignment, or
repair, it must be removed from its normal environment using a special routine, called RF TEST
MODE.

• Pressing Side Button 1 scrolls through and accesses the test environments shown in
Table 5-4.
