LED Operation
The LED provides feedback on the mode and operation of the SWL IR Remote. The LED blinks
slowly whenever there is a communications error (such as NAK from ICOM radios) or the
communications has timed out waiting for a response when a response is expected. This can also
occur if the radio is powered off and you try to initiate commands.
Communications Error
The LED blinks continuously at a slow rate when the communication times out from the radio, or
a command is NAK’d. If the radio power is off and you try to initiate any command but power
on, the radio will NAK all commands and the LED will indicate a communications error. If this
occurs on every function and the radio is powered on and not responding, check the cable
connection, the CI-V address and baud rate setting on the radio. Also verify that the SWL IR
Remote is correctly configured for the CI-V address and baud rate for the radio. If optional
modules are not installed in the radio and you try to use those functions, the radio will NAK the
message. An example would be trying to set the NR (Noise Reduction) feature if a DSP module
is not installed in the R75. This is normal when the optional modules are not installed and will
not cause improper operation or hang up.
Clear Input
After the
Mute
is used to clear key entries the LED will blink twice. The LED will also blink
twice when returning to the volume control mode after adjusting the RF/SQL, NR, or PBT
controls.
Confirmation of Command
After a valid command has been issued and acknowledged the LED will blink once and go out.
The LED will appear to be on continuously when the
VOL+/-
or
CH+/-
in the frequency mode
are held because the commands repeat and the LED doesn’t always time out.
When using the RF/SQL and PBT controls the LED will be on continuously when the controls
are being adjusted, but will extinguish when the RF control is full CW, the Squelch control is full
CCW, or the PBT controls are centered. Full CW on the RF and full CCW on the Squelch
control are at the 12 o’clock position on the controls.
Configuration Mode
When you enter the parameter configuration mode, the LED will blink continuously at a fast rate
until the configuration operation is completed or canceled.
