Initial Power-Up Test - Harris M5300 Installation And Safety Manual

MM-015371-001, Rev. C

14 INITIAL POWER-UP TEST

1. At the radio's main waterproof (HFB-type) fuse holder installed near the vehicle battery, insert the
15-amp AGC-type fuse that was included with the radio's DC Power Cable.
2. Tie and stow all fuse holders at this location to prevent excess vibration/movement.
3. Carefully reconnect the vehicle's battery ground cable.
4. If not already, temporarily connect the mobile antenna cable from the vehicle-mounted mobile
antenna to the female TNC RF connector on the rear panel of the radio. This is a temporary
connection until test procedures in Section 15 are complete.
5. If the installation is wired so the vehicle's ignition key/switch turns the radio on and off, turn the
switch to the Accessory or Run position.
6. If the control head is not already powered up, do so by rotating its on/off/volume control clockwise
out of the detent position.
7. Verify the control head has powered-up by observing its display. If the display is not lit, refer to
Section 10.1.1 as necessary.
As long as the software configuration parameters have been loaded, successful installation is almost
immediately realized:

After a short boot-up sequence, the control head displays login information and/or a talk group.

If no errors are displayed, the installation is most-likely properly wired.

If an error is displayed, recheck all cable connections, verify all fuses are properly installed, and
verify battery power on the load side of the fuses, etc. If problems persist, contact the Technical
Assistance Center (see page 19).

Consult the Operator's Manual for operational information.
Refer to the following section for performance test information.

Unlike many mobile radio products, the radio powers-up to the state of last control.
