ASTRO Spectra Plus Power-Up Self-Check Errors
Each time the radio is turned on the MCU and DSP perform some internal diagnostics. These
diagnostics consist of checking the programmable devices such as the FLASH ROMs and SRAM
devices. At the end of the power-up self-check routines any errors produced are recorded. If an error
exists, use the Customer Programming Software (CPS) from the RS232 bus on front and rear of the
radio to read the error code.
