What to do
11
Memory error
Turn the radio off and wait a full second before turning
it back on. If the radio still reports Error Code 11 or 12,
the SRAM memory may be corrupted. Contact customer
service.
12
RAM Error During Initialization
15
Transmit Frequency Lock Error
If you are using the radio as a repeater, ensure that the
transmit and receive frequencies are less than 10 MHz
apart. Otherwise, you should return the radio for service.
If the radio displays Error Code 15 (Transmit frequency lock
error), it is important to stop using it because the frequency
control might be unstable and you might be transmitting
at an unprogrammed frequency for which you are not
licensed.
16
Receive Frequency Lock Error
17
Serial buffer overflow
If data comes into the radio faster than it can be transmit-
ted, the serial buffer can overflow.
If the radio displays Error Code 17, adjust the serial baud
rate and radio link rate so the radio has enough time to
transmit each data packet before the next packet is sent to
the radio.
If the radio continues to display the error code after you have fixed the situation,
clear the error code from the radio’s display. Press the On/Off button for four seconds
(turning off the radio), wait one full second and then press the On/Off button again. If
an error warning persists, contact an authorized dealer or customer support.
Automatic Power Management
All ADL radios protect themselves from heat damage by throttling back the output
power or by shutting down if the temperature inside the radio exceeds safe levels.
Not operating the radio in environments greater than the maximum operational
temperature (see section on Technical Specifications) is the best way to ensure that the
internal temperature of the radio does not exceed safe limits.
If an ADL radio shuts down in response to high temperature, wait until the radio cools
and then turn it back on either by pressing the On button or by removing and re
inserting the power/data cable. When the radio is turned back on after exceeding its
operational temperature maximum, it displays an Error 08 (high temperature) message.
To clear this message, power cycle the radio. If the storage temperature exceeds a level
that can damage the electronics the radio can continue to display the Error 08 and may
require repair.
The 35-Watt ADL Vantage Pro and ADL Vantage 35 radios generate more heat than
the 4-Watt ADL Vantage radio. For this reason, they include an Automatic Power
Management feature that reduces the transmit power before the radio’s internal
temperature reaches the maximum level. The radios will continue to transmit at
reduced power until the internal temperature reaches a safe level, whereupon the
radio will automatically restore transmit power to the original setting. If the Automatic
Power Management feature is activated, the ADL Vantage Pro and ADL Vantage 35 LCD
will display an Error 08 (high temperature) message. Press the Enter button to clear this
message and then go to the radio’s Device Status screen to display the current transmit
power setting.
There are many ways you can reduce the temperature of your ADL radio besides
reducing the transmit power. Doubling the radio link rate halves the amount of heat
generated by the radio. Using a compressed data format such as CMRx can reduce the
