4.9.1 Display Flashes “FAIL 001”
This display indicates a synthesizer "out-of-lock" condition. The following information will help to
trouble shoot the frequency generation unit to the component level. Perform the following checks to
determine the mode of the Fail 001:
1. Determine if the "out-of-lock" condition occurs in either receive mode, transmit mode, or both.
Also, check other frequencies programmed in the unit if available.
2. To determine if the "out-of-lock" is frequency or VCO dependant, place the unit into RF TEST
Mode, as described in the ASTRO Digital XTL 1500 VHF/UHF Range 1/UF Range 2/700–
800 MHz Mobile Radio Basic Service Manual (6815853H01) and step through each test
channel. Table 4-13 indicates the frequency and Aux logic level for each test mode channel.
In addition, Table 4-14 provides information about the frequency of operation for each VCO.
