TROUBLE SHOOTING

If you experience problem with your TSC-100R or TSC-100RBT, first check the battery
power level as low battery can cause problems such as weak reception and reduced
sound quality.
Then check the manual and receiver display to ensure that a function such as Lock or
Scan has not been activated by accident.

If these steps do not solve the problem, reset your unit as follows.

1. Partial Reset

1) Turn off your unit.

2)

Press and hold the MENU and the STEP keys together.

3) Turn on your unit.

4) Memory Clear(MEM CLr) appears.
This will erase all the memory data from the channel
memory banks.

If you find problems not solved by this partial reset, try all reset as follows.

2. All Reset

1) Turn off your unit.

2) Press and hold the

E/VFO and the STEP keys together.

3) Turn on your unit.

4) All clear (ALL CLr) appears.
This will not only erase all the memory data but also reset
all the basic operation data to the original factory default
settings. This should resolve most problems.
In case of further difficulties,
please consult your dealer or visit our website at
