Press and hold in the front panelPower switch for two seconds toturn the transceiver on.NoteThe self-check function of the CPU inside the radio willbegin.If the optional RF μ-Tuning Unit is installed, the μ-Tun-ing circuitry will receive the data from the CPU, and itwill perform its own self-check, and will preset itself tothe proper settings for the current operating frequency.While the μ-Tuning circuitry is obtaining the data, the drivemechanism will move from one end of its range to theother end (fast), and this will cause a temporary “motor”noise that can be heard; this, does not represent any troubleor problem.When the radio is turned on for the first time, it takes about50 seconds (from turning the radio on to completing theself-check) until the radio becomes ready to use; how-ever, from the next time you turn it on, it will take around10 seconds until the transceiver is ready for full opera-tion.2.
