REMEDY
a. Check the battery connections and the fuse.
b. The PWR switch needs to be pressed and
held to turn the radio on.
Check the power cable for DC voltage. Check
the fuse (6A 250V).
Make sure the red wire is connected to the posi-
tive (+) battery post, and the black wire is con-
nected to the negative (-) battery post. If the fuse
blows after replacement, contact your dealer for
advice.
Reroute the DC power cables away from the
engine. Add noise suppressor on the power
cable. Change to resistive spark plug wires and/
or add an alternator whine filter.
Check if the accessory cable is firmly fastened.
(Short circuit the external speaker cable WHITE/
SHIELD).
Check if the accessory cable is firmly fastened.
(Short circuit the PA speaker cable RED/
SHIELD).
Have the antenna checked or test the trans-
ceiver with another antenna. If the problem per-
sists, contact your dealer for advice.
Confirm that the connected power supply volt-
age is not over 17 volts or lower than 10 volts.
Check if the accessory cable is firmly fastened.
(Short circuit the PA speaker cable RED/
SHIELD).
Check if the accessory cable is firmly fastened.
Some GPS receivers use the battery ground line
for NMEA connection.
Check the output signal format of the GPS re-
ceiver. This radio requires NMEA0183 format
with GLL, RMB, or RMC sentence as an output
signal. If the GPS receiver has a facility for set-
ting baud rate and parity, select “4800” and
“NONE,” respectively.
Replace the speaker wires to a sheilded 2-con-
ductor wire. See section “8.5 ACCESSORY
CABLE” for cable connections.
