What to do if the display does not light when I press POWER on my Radio Shack HTX-212?
If the display of your Radio Shack Transceiver doesn't light up when you press POWER, first, ensure that all power connections are properly connected. Then, check the fuse. For fuse replacement instructions, see “Replacing the Fuse” on Page 37.
Why other party cannot hear my transmission on Radio Shack HTX-212 Transceiver?
If the other party cannot hear your transmission on your Radio Shack Transceiver, ensure that the duplex offset is set correctly. Additionally, set the output power to high by pressing LOW until HIGH appears on the display.
How to unlock controls on Radio Shack HTX-212?
If no controls operate on your Radio Shack Transceiver, first ensure that LOCK is not displayed. If it is, press F then LOCK to unlock the controls. Also, verify that the LOCK switch on the microphone is set to its leftmost position.
What to do if signal strength meter shows a signal and BUSY appears, but no sound from speaker on Radio Shack HTX-212 Transceiver?
If your Radio Shack Transceiver's signal strength meter shows a signal and BUSY appears, but there is no sound from the speaker, make sure DTMF is not on the display. If it is, press DTMF to turn off the DTMF page. Also, ensure T-SQL is not on the display; if it is, press T-SQL until neither T nor T-SQL appears. Check that VOLUME and SQUELCH are properly adjusted and that nothing is plugged into the EXT. SP jack.
