Power Up Self-Test
6.1 Error Codes - Conventional and LTR Radios
Turning on the radio starts a self-test routine that checks the RAM, ROM checksum, EEPROM
hardware, and EEPROM checksum. If these checks are successful, the radio generates two high-
pitched self-test pass tones, or a musical tone (selected in CPS). If the self-test is not successful, one
low-pitched tone is heard. Radios with displays are able to display the error codes. The displayed
error codes and related corrections are listed as follows:
