3.3.2 RF Test Mode
When the radio is operating in its normal environment, the radio's microcontroller controls the RF
channel selection, transmitter key-up, and receiver muting, according to the customer codeplug
configuration. However, when the unit is on the bench for testing, alignment, or repair, it must be
removed from its normal environment via a special routine, called TEST MODE or air test.
In RF Test Mode, the display upon the first line is “RF Test”, together with the power level icon at the
right end of the first line. The display upon the second line is the test environment, the channel
number and channel spacing. The default test environment is CSQ.
1. Each short press of Side Button 2 changes the test environment (CSQ->TPL->DIG->USQ
->CSQ). The radio beeps once when radio toggles to CSQ, beeps twice for TPL, beeps three
times for DIG and beeps four times for USQ.
