    Special Programming Mode (SPM)
    A flashing channel number indicates that the channel is
    excluded from the scan list. A channel number that lights
    continuously indicates the channel is included in the scan
    list. For example, a display showing  with flashing dig-
    its indicates that channel 18 is excluded from the scan list.
    Press the Enter Button to toggle the state of a channel
    in the scan list from included to excluded, or from
    excluded to included.
    A valid keypress tone sounds when the new set-
    ting is stored.
    To exit the scan list edit mode, select another menu item
    by turning the Channel Selector Knob.
    NOTE
    In a Full Serial Option Board Configured
    Radio, the Channel Scan List can be config-
    ured to exclude Full Serial Channels from the
    Scan List so that conventional channel scan
    can function correctly.

    Rotate the Channel Selector Knob to select the 
    menu item.
    Use the  or the  to scroll through the channels
    (01 to 20).
    A flashing channel number indicates that the particular chan-
    nel is unprogrammed (erased). For example, a display show-
    ing  with flashing digits indicates that channel 10 is
    erased. 
    To erase a programmed channel (non-flashing channel
    numbers), press the Enter Button.
    A valid keypress tone sounds when the channel
    has been successfully erased.
    NOTE
    Pressing the Enter Button for an unpro-
    grammed channel (flashing channel num-
    bers) results in an invalid keypress tone, and
    the keypress is ignored.
    To exit this edit mode, select another menu item by turn-
    ing the Channel Selector Knob.
    Edit Time Out Timer
    This menu item allows you to select the Time Out Timer
    length.
    Rotate the Channel Selector Knob to select the ‘Edit
    Time Out Timer’ menu item. The menu will display
    the current setting: , where xxx represents one of
     The default display of shows
    the time out timer setting of one minute.
    Use the  or the  to change the current status.
    Select another menu item by turning the Channel Selec-tor Knob to commit this new setting.
    Edit PTT ID
    Rotate the Channel Selector Knob to select the 
    menu item.
    Press any key (except the Enter Button) to enter the
    PTT ID edit mode. The LCD displays the currently pro-
    grammed PTT ID. For an ID which exceeds the length
    of the 6-digit display, the rightmost digit flashes to indi-
    cate more digits exist on the right.
    You can now change or enter numbers as required, up to a
    maximum of 8, using any of the numeric keys, as well as the
    *, #, A, B, C, and D keys. The flashing cursor indicates the

    pause between the digits of the ID by first pressing ,
    immediately followed by . However, any pauses entered
    at the end of the ID are not stored.
    Two medium-pitched “beeps” sound when a
    pause is successfully entered, and the display
    changes from ‘A’ to ‘–‘ to visually represent the
    pause
    Use  or  to scroll through the existing ID’s
    digits. To change the PTT ID, use  to erase the
    unwanted digits, and then enter the new digits. The dis-
    play shows the new digits as they are being entered.
    When the flashing cursor is under a digit, the maximum
    number has been entered.
    If you attempt to add more than 8 digits, an invalid
    keypress tone sounds and the keypress is
    ignored.
    Press the Enter Button to store the new PTT ID and
    return to the SPM browse menu.
    A valid keypress tone sounds when the ID has

    Edit Selective Call IDs
    NOTE
    To support Selective Call o operation, the
    Option Board Setting must be set to
    ‘dECOdE’ for Simple Decoder in order to
    access the ID parameters. 
    Rotate the Channel Selector Knob to select the appro-
    priate menu item ( = Acknowledgment ID, 
    = Individual Call ID,  = Group Call ID and 
    = All Call ID).
    Press any key (except the Enter Button) to enter the
    appropriate edit mode. The LCD Screen displays the
    currently programmed ID number. For an ID which
    exceeds the length of the 6-digit display, the rightmost
    digit flashes to indicate more digits exist on the right.
    You can now enter or change digits as required, up to a max-
    imum of 8, using any of the numeric keys, as well as the *,
    #, A, B, C, and D keys. The flashing cursor indicates the
    position of the next digit to be entered.
    NOTE
    Pause digits cannot be entered with Selective
    Call ID numbers. Therefore, a ‘*’ must not be
    immediately followed by a ‘#’, but they are
    valid in combination with all other digits.
    Use  or  to scroll through the existing ID’sdigits. To change the selected ID, use  to erase the
    unwanted digits, and then enter the new digits. The dis-
    play shows the new digits as they are being entered.
    When the flashing cursor is under a digit, the maximum
    number of digits has been entered.
    If you attempt to add more than 8 digits, an invalid
    keypress tone sounds and the keypress is
    ignored.
    Press the Enter Button to store the ID number and
    return to the SPM browse menu.
    A valid keypress tone sounds when the ID has

    Factory Reset Feature
    This feature is intended to allow you to erase certain pro-
    grammable parameters and restore the radio to the factory
    default settings. The radio, upon reset, clears all memory
    channels stored in the non-volatile memory area, clears all
    phone number storage locations, and restores the default set-
    tings to the different user-modifiable parameters (coded
    squelch type, squelch level, channel-step size, etc.).
    NOTE
    The Factory Reset feature does not clear the
    IDs or access/de-access codes, nor does it
    change the Option Board Setup setting.
     With the radio in Special Programming Mode, press
    and hold the PTT Button.
     While holding PTT, press , , , ,  in
    sequence.
    As the sequence is entered, the LCD Screen (which is ini-
    tially cleared) displays an’o’ for each digit entered.
    Any incorrect digit entered results in an invalid
    keypress tone, the LCD Screen is cleared again
    and you must reenter the sequence, starting with
    the first digit.
    Once the sequence has been entered successfully, the LCD
    Screen displays the prompt , indicating that the reset
    procedure is ready to be activated.
    Press the Enter Button to confirm the reset process.
    Pressing any other key or releasing the PTT Button
    cancels the process and returns the radio to the SPM
    Browse menu.
    The display blanks when the reset is in progress.
    When the process is successfully completed, the
    LCD Screen displays  and a ringing reset
    tone sequence sounds.

    Troubleshooting 
    Overview 
    This section contains five troubleshooting tables for the following components: 
    ¥ Receiver  
    • Transmitter
    • Synthesizer
    • Microprocessor
    • Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
    • LCD
     
    Troubleshooting Charts 
    Refer to following pages. 
    Troubleshooting and Repair Comments 
    While troubleshooting, if you determine that the reference oscillator crystal (Y201) is defective, the entire Radio Frequency
    (RF) board must be replaced. When the new Radio Frequency board is installed, the eight-digit oscillator temperature compen-
    sation code, supplied with the new RF board, must be programmed into the radio controller. See the Radio Service Software
    (RSS) manual, number 6881086C08 (in English), section 5.3.3. Simply enter the eight-digit code in to the box on the RSS Ref-
    erence Oscillator data program using the F8 key on your computer. Keep the new oscillator compensation code in your records.
