Problem
The radio won't
transmit.
I can't hear anything
from the speaker.
Noise comes out of
the speaker all the
time
I can transmit, but no
one can hear me.
I'm not getting hazard
alerts.
The display flashes,
and I don't know why.
Where can I find my
radio's serial number?

Things to Try
- Make sure you are not in weather
or scan mode.
- Make sure you are not trying to
transmit on a receive-only channel
or transmit at the wrong power
level for this channel (see the
channel lists starting on page
E-26).
- Check the battery power level; if
it's low, charge the battery before
trying to transmit.
- Make sure the duration of each
transmission is less than 5
minutes.
Adjust the squelch level; it is
probably too high.
Adjust the squelch level; it is
probably too low.
- MRN/VHF: Check your UIC
channel settings. Does the area
you are in use different channel
assignments?
- GMRS/FRS: Check the sub codes.
Make sure Weather Alert Watch is
turned on.
The channel number on the display
will flash if the radio is in a watch
mode or in scan mode. Try turning
off scanning, Weather Alert Watch,
Triple Watch, or Dual Watch (see
page E-19).
The serial number is on a plate
inside the battery compartment.
