INSTRUCTION MANUAL18ENGLISHTROUBLE SHOOTINGIf you experience problem with your , first check the battery power level as low battery can cause problems such as weak reception and reduced sound quality.Then check the manual and receiver display to ensure that a function such as Lock or Scan has not been activated by accident.If these steps do not solve the problem, reset your unit as follows.1. Partial Reset1) Turn off your unit.2) Press and hold the MENU and the STEP keys together.3) Turn on your unit.4) Memory Clear(MEM CLr) appears.This will erase all the memory data from the channelmemory banks. If you find problems not solved by this partial reset, try all reset as follows.2. All Reset1) Turn off your unit.2) Press and hold the E/VFO and the STEP keys together.3) Turn on your unit.4) All clear (ALL CLr) appears.This will not only erase all the memory data but also reset all the basic operation data to the original factory default settings. This should resolve most problems.In case of further difficulties, please consult your dealer or visit our website at www.ttikorea.co.kr21232123TSC-100RATSC-100RA
