M3SR Series 4100
Errors
Error messages occur in case of a hardware failure.
The radio is no longer in proper working order.
As soon as an error is detected, the GO LED (1) on the radio front panel and the GO LED
(2) on a connected control unit are switched off (see Figure 6.2). The LEDs remain
switched off until the fault is eliminated.
Error messages will be logged in the failure archive.
Error messages do not disappear automatically. Press 'ENT' to acknowledge the mes-
sage.

6.2.2 Power-On Built-In Test (PBIT)

After switching on the radio (see sect. 2.6 Switching the Radio On), the power-on built-In test
(PBIT) is started automatically. PBIT is performed in a few seconds during start-up. It allows
a short analysis of main functions like receive and transmit mode with acceptable test depth
and test time. This keeps the delay from power-on to the first possible user action on the ra-
dio reasonably short. The detection of installed modules and options as well as their versions
is considered a part of PBIT.
If during PBIT no error is detected, the GO LED on the radio front panel and the GO LED on
a connected control unit will light up.
If during PBIT an error is detected, the GO LED on the radio front panel and the GO LED on
a connected control unit will stay switched off. In this case the BIT Status displayed in menu
Radio MTC 1/7 (see sect. 3.4 Radio Maintenance) will also show 'Error' (see Figure 6.3).
