Preparing Your Radio for Use
This section provides simple instructions to prepare your radio for use.
2.1

Turning On the Radio

Procedure:
1 Press and hold the Power Button to power on the radio.
After a short time, the red, yellow, and green LEDs light up. The display shows the following:
• Current zone and channel text
• Codeplug Alias
• Menu items on the home screen
The backlight turns on to the last selected dim level.
NOTE:
If Fail ##/## appears on the display, the radio is unable to function until the condition
is corrected.
If Error ##/## appears, some non-critical data has been changed. If the display goes
blank, or if the unit appears to be locked up, see
information.
If Ch mismatch appears, it means that:
• The Control Head has been connected to an incompatible transceiver, or vice versa.
• The wrong mixture of control heads (for example, O5 control head and E5 control
head) is connected to the transceiver.
If SW/HW MISMATCH appears, it means that the control head has been connected to the
transceiver with an incompatible software version. To resolve this, update the transceiver
software with a version that supports the connected control heads.
If your radio does not power up, contact your system administrator.
2 To turn off the radio, press the Power button after the LEDs light up.
