991 Switch ON the DC power supply.2 Inspect the power cable. Confirmpolarities are correct.Red: positive (+); Black: negative (–)3 Confirm the connections to the DCpower supply are secure.4 Look for the cause of the blown fuse.After inspecting and correcting anyproblems, install a new fuse of thespecified rating.1 Correct the input voltage or use a 12to 16 V battery.2 Review “MICROPROCESSORRESET”. After understanding whatdata will be lost, do a Partial Reset.If the problem remains, do a FullReset.Have a new battery installed by yourdealer or at a KENWOOD ServiceCenter.1 Review “WRITING CONVENTIONSFOLLOWED”.2 Press [F.LOCK] to switch OFFfunction.3 Review “MICROPROCESSORRESET”. After understanding whatdata will be lost, do a Partial Reset.If the problem remains, do a FullReset.4 Stop operating the Tuning control,then press the appropriate buttons.Press [F.LOCK] to switch OFF function.1 Change Menu No. 32 to OFF.2 Turn the DSP SLOPE (LOW) controlcounterclockwise and the DSPSLOPE (HIGH) control clockwise.3 Press [N.R.] to switch OFF function.4 Press [B.C.] to switch OFF function.16 MAINTENANCETROUBLESHOOTINGThe problems described in this table are commonly encountered operational malfunctions. These types ofdifficulties are usually caused by improper hook-up, accidental incorrect control settings, or operator error due toincomplete programming. These problems are usually not caused by circuit failure. Please review this table, andthe appropriate section(s) of this instruction manual, before assuming your transceiver is defective.Note:uDue to frequency relationships of some circuits in this transceiver, beat tones may be heard on the following frequencies: 10.000 MHz,20.000 MHz and 30.000 MHz. This is not a fault.uPlacing a powered handy transceiver near this transceiver may cause noise in this transceiver.The transceiver willnot power up afterconnecting a13.8 V DC powersupply and pressing[POWER]. Nothingappears on thedisplay, and noreceiver noise isheard.After switching ON thepower, the transceiverdoes not functionnormally. Forexample, no digits orincorrect digits appearon the display.After switching ON thetransceiver,“14.000.00 MHz USB”appears and all datais lost; without doingFull Reset.The transceiver doesnot respond correctlyafter pressing buttonor key combinations,or turning controls perinstructions in thismanual.PageRef.XXXXXXXXXXiXXXXXXXProblem Probable Cause Corrective Action1 DC power supply is OFF.2 Faulty power cable3 The power cable is not connectedsecurely.4 Power cable fuse is open.1 The input voltage is outside 13.8 VDC ±15% (11.7 to 15.8 V DC).2 The microprocessor hasmalfunctioned.The backup lithium battery voltage istoo low.1 Procedures are not being followedprecisely.2 The Frequency Lock function isON.3 The microprocessor and itsmemory need resetting.4 The buttons on the transceiver areunavailable while operating theTuning control.The Frequency Lock function is ON.1 The filter for digital operation isselected.2 The DSP SLOPE (LOW) control orDSP SLOPE (HIGH) control wasincorrectly set.3 Noise Reduction 1 or 2 is ON.4 Beat Cancel is ON.The frequencycannot be changed.SSB audio quality isvery poor; the highor low audiofrequencies areabsent.XXXXXXXX
