Notes: Depending on the Radioddity model and its production run, there may be
slight differences in the display of the firmware version even if the very same
firmware had been used. However, the stated date and time are unique to
each file. Never mix files that are not intended for your radio. As for the
Radioddity GD-88 and Radioddity DB40-D only use file-pairs that have been
distributed by Radioddity within the very same archive.
14.4 White or scrambled screen after firmware update
It might happen, that your Radioddity GD-88 - after applying a firmware update -
does show a white or even a scrambled screen when turned on instead of the
normal startup logo. Don´t worry, this is due to the fact that we do have slightly
different Radioddity GD-88 hardware revisions out in the field that are covered by
the very same firmware. In order to get rid of the white or even scrambled screen
after updating, please proceed as follows:
1. turn off the radio
2. press the green button and keep it depressed
3. turn on the radio and wait about 2 seconds for the startup logo to be
displayed
As soon as the startup logo is displayed as expected, you are done and it will not
be required when again turning on the radio.
Notes: This procedure is only required for Radioddity GD-88 showing a white or
scrambled screen after a firmware update.
Do not try out the procedure if your GD-88 is not affected.
14.5 Update failed
In case the update failed due to a bad programming cable or an empty battery,
don´t worry, but just power cycle the radio and restart the update process.
