Operating anomalies
Should the AR5001D appear to behave strangely, normal op erations may be easily achieved by
performing the following steps:
1. Symptom: No control of the receiver.
Action: Turn off the power switch on the front panel. Leave it off for
approximately 10 seconds. Turn the power switch back on again.
Normal operation should be restored.
2. Symptom: The display freezes.
Action: Turn off the main power switch on the rear panel. Leave it off for
approximately 10 seconds. Turn the power switch back on a gain.
Normal operation should be restored.
Should the AR5001D still behave strangely, try a RESET as explained in chapter 9-13.

Terminology
Search & Scan
If you have not used a wide band receiver before or is not familiar with the terminology used, it is very
important to understand the difference between SEARCH and SCAN modes.
SEARCH: The AR5001D provides several operations where transmissions
(active frequencies) may be automatically located by sweeping the receiver over
a wide frequency range, either from the currently displayed frequency traveling
upwards (or downwards) in a specified tuning increment (step) or by sweeping
over-and-over between two specified frequency limits. This process is known as
SEARCHING. As the name implies, this process can take a long time to find
transmissions due to their ‘often intermittent’ and brief nature. For this reas on, it
is best to slice large frequency ranges into smaller, more manageable pieces
