Things to Try
- Don't use the charger when the
ambient temperature is below 41°
F (5° C) or above 104° F (40° C).
- Make sure the charging contacts
on the radio and charger are clean.
- Replace the battery.
Make sure you are not in weather or
scan mode.
Make sure you are not trying to
transmit on a receive-only channel
or transmit at the wrong power level
for this channel (see the channel
lists starting on page E-19).
Check the battery power level; if it's
low, charge the battery before trying
to transmit.
Make sure the duration of each
transmission is less than 5 minutes.
Adjust the squelch level; it is
probably too high.
Adjust the squelch level; it is
probably too low.
Check your UIC channel settings:
does the area you are in use
different channel assignments?
Make sure Weather Alert Watch is
turned on.
The channel number on the display
will flash if the radio is in a watch
mode or in scan mode. Try turning
off scanning, Weather Alert Watch,
Triple Watch, or Dual Watch (see
page E-6).
