If your transceiver 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 battery is exhausted.

(A slight current flows in the circuits even when
the power is OFF).

• Poor plug connection to the external DC power

cable.

• Charge the battery pack or place new dry cell

batteries in the battery case.
(Remove the battery pack if you will not be using
the transceiver for a long time.)

• Check the connector or remove and replace the

cable.

pgs.
9, 10

• No sound comes from

the speaker.

• Squelch level is too deep. (e.g. SQ8)
• Volume level is too low.

• Set squelch to automatic (AT).
• Set the desired band’s [VOL] to a suitable level.

p. 17
p. 17

• Transmitting is

impossible.

• The battery is exhausted.

• Avionics band frequency (U.S.A./Asia only) or

weather channel (U.S.A. only) is selected.

• Charge the battery pack or place new dry cell

batteries in the battery case.

• Set an amateur frequency.

pgs.
9, 10
p. 13

• Frequency cannot be set.

• Memory mode or call channel is selected.
• Weather channel (U.S.A. only) is selected.

• Lock function is activated.

• Push [VFO] to select VFO mode.
• Push [BAND] to select an amateur band or

avionics band.

• Push [

(CALL)

LOCK] for 2 sec. to cancel the

function.

p. 12
p. 13

p. 15

• Scan does not start.

• The squelch is open.

• Call or weather channel (U.S.A. only) is

selected.

• Set squelch to automatic (AT) or the squelch

closed point (SQ1 or more).

• Push [BAND] to select an amateur band, memory

channel or avionics band.

p. 17

p. 13

• No contact possible with

another station.

• The transceiver is set to semi-duplex.
• The output power is set to low.

• Set to simplex.
• Push [H/L] to select high power.
