Operating Your Control Head; Turning On The Radio - Motorola ASTRO XTL 2500 User Manual

Operating Your Control Head

Your advanced control head is designed for ease of use and flexibility
of feature control. Before operating the radio, familiarize yourself with
the various controls, indicators, and alert tones. Refer to the foldout
diagrams in the front and back of this manual for your particular
control head.

Turning On the Radio

Basic operation is the same for all radio control heads.
Do the following:
• Turn the radio on with a short press of the power button in
the lower left corner of the control unit.
After a short time, the red, green and yellow LED's light up,
indicating that the radio is powering up.
The display then shows XTL 2500.
When the radio is fully powered on, the Zone and Channel text and
menu items is displayed. The backlight will turn on to the last
selected color and dim level.
Note: Pressing the power button before the LED's light up will be
ignored.
Pressing the power button anytime after the LED's light up
will TURN OFF the radio.
Note: If FAIL ##/## appears in the display, the radio will not
function until the condition has been corrected.
If ERROR ##/## appears, some non-critical data has been
changed. If either of these displays appear, if the display
goes blank, or if the unit appears to be locked up, refer to the
"Troubleshooting" section.
