32 Troubleshooting
If you experience difficulty, check the following items before
requesting service.
1. Review steps under OPERATION.
2. Be sure the frequency select switch is set to the correct
channel.
3. Replace or recharge the battery.
4. If reception is poor, check the antenna. It must be
undamaged and operated in the vertical position for best
reception.
5. Try several different operating locations, especially when
operating the radio inside buildings.
6. Check transmitter by transmitting to another portable radio
or communications receiver. If the receiver has a signal
strength (āSā) meter, make comparison readings against
another portable radio. Also check the antenna.
