General trouble shooting

If you experience problems with the set, refer to page 136 of the operating manual. The last resort before calling your supplying dealer for help is a soft reset
of the microprocessor. This is achieved as follows:

Soft reset is achieved by powering-up the radio with the key held, do not release the key until the opening message has performed and a
frequency is displayed in 2VFO mode.

All scan & search environments are cleared, bank link is set off and the receiver frequency will be set to 88.000 MHz for both VFO-A and VFO-B. The beep
will be enabled and set to default as will lamp and LCD contrast. All memory and search bank data will be intact.
