AR2700 operating manual
2
[PWR] power switch: The power switch is not of the traditional “click”
operation but microprocessor controlled, this is to facilitate the sleep timer.
To switch the receiver On, press and hold the [PWR] key for more than
1.5 seconds. Similarly to switch the receiver Off, press and hold the [PWR]
key for more than 1.5 seconds.
Full microprocessor reset: Later in this manual reference is made to FULL
microprocessor reset. The AR2700 takes about 30 seconds to recover
following a FULL reset as all memory and search data has to be deleted...
be patient as 30 seconds feels like a very long time when you are waiting.
Remember also, when there is no memory or search data, the AR2700 will not
scan or search until you have input new data.
