The radio will turn on when power is applied.
NOTE: The radio will always turn on when power is
applied. So make sure the UHF antenna is connected
prior to attaching power to the radio!
IMPORTANT: Before you remove power from the radio,
ALWAYS turn the radio off with the power switch. Push
and hold the Power ON/OFF button for five seconds,
then wait for the radio to power down:

NOTE: 50% of all RTK Radio Problems are due

settings. To reduce the chance of bad
configurations we have forced all of the baud
rates to be 9600. (In other words, the answer
