Applying power (CPU resetting)

First applying power:

Reset the transceiver using the following procedure.

Resetting

CLEARS

all programmed contents in

memory channels and returns the quick set
mode/set mode to default values.

Make sure the transceiver power is OFF.

While pushing and holding

F-INP ENT

BAND

and

M-CL

push

to turn power ON.

• The internal CPU is reset.
• The transceiver displays its initial VFO frequencies

when resetting is complete.

All quick set mode/set mode settings are returned

to the default values. (p. 70)

Normal applying power:

Push

to turn power ON, then check the dis-

play. If any of indicators appear, turn them OFF if
necessary. (See the appropriate page for details).
