Task 2 —
Visual Inspection
Check the radio for mechanical loss or damage, even if the fault concerns a
function failure only. Inspect the radio as follows:
■ knob for power/volume control
■ knob for channel control, and 3-way actuator
■ antenna SMA connector
■ keys, lens and LCD
■ front panel
■ metal chassis
■ accessory connector
Important Engraving the chassis can significantly reduce the mechan-
ical strength and will void any warranty. If the chassis has
been engraved, it must be replaced.

Equipment Setup” on page 86, attempt to power up the radio.

. Otherwise continue with Step 4.

radio as described in “Reassembling the Radio” on page 112.
