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. The most
common reason that the LED blinks slowly is a command that is not understood by the ICOM
radio, and the radio has returned a NAK. The NAK means that the radio does not understand the
command, or the command contains a parameter out of bounds. 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. 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.
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
CH+/-
is held in the frequency mode,
because the commands repeat and the LED doesn’t always time out.
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.
