Turning Your Radio On or Off
To turn your radio on or off:
Turn the Volume Knob clockwise.
The display shows XTL 1500. You hear a high-pitched tone
indicating the radio has passed a self-check.
If the display shows ERRXX/YY (where XX/YY is an
alphanumeric code) and you hear a low-pitched tone, the radio
has failed the self-test.
Do the following:
1 Turn the Volume Knob counter clockwise to turn the radio
off.
