FMTx2.1 troubleshooting faults

Possible faults
Expected fault reports relating to the FMTx 2.1 implementation may consist of one or more of the following;
1 No left audio
2 No right audio
3 No audio
4 Can't start FMTx
5 Can't locate FM transmission on an FM receiver or no FM transmission
6 Distortion on audio
7 Poor reception on FM receiver
8 No RDS information
Initial fault analysis
Where possible, attempt to reproduce and verify the reported fault. Intermittent problems are likely to be
due to bad connections or broken components/solder joints. Any faults relating to poor FM transmitter
performance or frequent failure to locate usable frequencies when performing a scan are likely to be due to
some kind of antenna issues.
In handsets that utilise an antenna solution in a removable cover it is likely that the connecting interface
pins are either damaged, dirty or that the cover fits poorly perhaps due to broken tabs/latching lugs. Poor
audio fault reports may also be due to the above antenna issues.
