No Sound: Make sure the radio is getting power. Check all fuses and
wiring. Make sure speakers are properly connected and in good working
order.
Weak/Noisy Reception: Make sure the antenna is connected to the
radio and in good working order. The cable for the antenna can become
damaged. Check for continuity between the center pin of the connector
and the antenna mast. Also check for shorts between the center pin and
the outer shield.
The FMR-1 uses sophisticated noise blankers to reduce or eliminate
most engine/generator noise. If engine or generator noise is still present,
investigate the cause of this noise, i.e. spark plugs and wires, generator/
alternator suppression condensers etc.
PowerOnDiagnostics: Each time the radio is powered on it uses a
sophisticated method to check the speaker outputs for problems. If
found, the specific speaker channel is disabled and the error is reported
on the front panel LED (if installed). The LED will flash a pattern
similar to that used by the automotive ODB standard. The pattern
consists of a number of flashes indicating which speaker followed by a
short pause, then another set of flashes indicating the specific problem. If
multiple faults are found, each of these patterns will be followed by a
long pause and the next fault will be displayed.

Overheating: If the FMR-1 ever overheats in operation the front panel
LED (if installed) will blink slowly. No damage will occur to the radio
and it may start to lower the output power to bring the temperature back
down. This should never occur in normal operation.
Options:
If your radio was equipped with the BT-1 Bluetooth adapter, the
FMR-1 will automatically mute the radio and switch to the Bluetooth
input when audio is streaming or a call is received. If your radio was
equipped with a USB-1 adapter, the FMR-1 will automatically mute the
radio and switch to the USB input whenever a USB FLASH drive is
inserted. Please refer to the appropriate User Manual for complete
information.
