Initial setup
.
Turning the unit on
To turn the unit on, simply rotate the volume/power knob clockwise
until you hear a "click". If your radio powers on correctly there should be
an audible double beep after about one second and the display will
show a message or flash the LCD depending on settings for about one
second (see “38 PONMSG - Power On Message” in Appendix B, Menu
definitions). Then it will display a frequency or channel. If the Voice
prompt is enabled, the voice will announce "frequency mode" or
"channel mode".
