Important:
The radio interface cable must be disconnected from the tuner, if the radio power is
off, before performing any of the following power-on operations.
Resetting the Tuner
Each time the tuner is powered off, the microprocessor saves all memories and configurations to non-
volatile memory. When the power is off, the tuner is bypassed (straight through from TRANSMITTER
to ANTENNA 1 and WIRE). When power is turned on, the tuner powers-up bypassed, but will revert to
the last stored matching values or begin tuning on application of RF power when the TUNE button is
pressed – or if Automatic or Sticky-Tune is enabled. If the tuner is not working properly, even on initial
power on, try resetting to the factory defaults.
