Preventative Maintenance

The following system checks should be made every six to twelve months:
! Check the standing Wave Ratio (SWR)
! Inspect the tightness of all electrical connections.
! Inspect the antenna coaxial cable for wear or breaks on the shielding.
! Inspect the tightness of all screws and all other mounting hardware.

Troubleshooting

Should the unit malfunction or perform poorly, follow these procedures:
! Check the power cord and fuse.
If there is trouble with receiving...
! Check the VOLUME control setting. Be sure the SQUELCH is adjusted properly. Possibly the radio is
over squelched.
If there is trouble with transmitting...
! Check that the transmission line (coaxial cable) is securely connected to the ANTENNA connector.
! Check that the antenna is fully extended for proper operation.
! Check that all transmission line (coaxial cable) connections are secure and free of corrosion.
