POWER UP SELF-TEST
1.0 Error Codes
Turning on the radio using the ON/OFF volume control starts a self-test routine which checks the 
RAM, ROM checksum, EEPROM hardware and EEPROM checksum. If these checks are 
successfully completed, the radio will generate the Self-Test Pass Tone. Radio emits only “bonk” (300 
Hz) tone if it fails the self-test.
Error Code Explanation Corrective Action
“RAM TST ERROR” RAM Test Failure Retest radio by turning it off and turning it on again. If 
message reoccurs, replace RAM (U405). 
“ROM CS ERROR” ROM Checksum is 
wrong.
Reprogram FLASH Memory, then retest. If message 
reoccurs, replace ROM (U406).

mismatch, non 
existence of 
 
codeplug.
Reprogram codeplug with correct version and retest
