TROUBLESHOOTING

If your receiver seems to be malfunctioning, please check the
following points before sending it to a service center.

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION

REF.

No power comes on.

• The installed batteries are exhausted.

(A slight current flows in the circuits even when

the power is OFF.)

• The batteries have been installed in reverse po-

larity.

• Charge the batteries or place new dry cell batter-

ies in the battery case.

(Remove the batteries if you will not be using the

receiver for a long time.)

• Re-install the batteries in the correct orientation.

p. 8

No audio is output.

• [VOL] is turned to the minimum position.
• Earphone or headphone is connected.
• The [SQL] is turned too far clockwise.
• VSC function is activated.

• Turn [VOL] to a suitable level.
• Disconnect the earphone or headphone.
• Turn the [SQL] counterclockwise.
• Release the VSC function.

p. 10

p. 11
p. 38

Weak reception, excessive
distortion or too much
noise.

• Not centered on the frequency.

• Wrong receive mode is selected.
• ATT function is activated.
• The [SQL] (RF gain) is set too far clockwise (when

USB, LSB or CW is selected).

• Batteries are nearly exhausted.

• Set to the center frequency using a small tuning

step.

• Select the correct receive mode.
• Release the ATT function.
• Turn the [SQL] (RF gain) counterclockwise.

• Charge the batteries or place new dry cell batter-

ies in the battery case.

p. 13

p. 12
p. 65
p. 11

p. 8

Cannot tune frequency via
the keypad or [DIAL]

• Lock function is ON.

• While pushing [FUNC], push [

(EDIT)

LOCK] to turn

the lock function OFF.

p. 64

Cannot charge the installed
Ni-Cd batteries.

• [CHARGE] is set to the OFF position.

• Set [CHARGE] to the ON position.
