Problem

The display flashes, and I

don’t know why

Where can I find my

radio’s serial number?

Things to Try

The channel number on the display will flash if

the radio is in a Watch mode or in Scan mode.

Try turning off scanning, Weather Alert Watch,

Triple Watch, or Dual Watch (seet page 13).

The serial number is on a plate inside the bat-

tery compartment
