Resolució de problemes

No Power / Radio Not Turning On

  • Assegureu-vos que la bateria estigui instal·lada correctament i completament carregada.
  • Comproveu si els contactes de la bateria estan bruts o corrosius.
  • Verify the power/volume knob is rotated clockwise sufficiently.

Poor Reception or Transmission Range

  • Assegureu-vos que l'antena estigui ben connectada.
  • Comproveu si hi ha obstacles (edificis, turons) entre les ràdios.
  • Verify that you are operating within the optimal frequency ranges (136-174MHz / 400-520MHz for best performance).
  • Confirm the correct CTCSS/DCS codes are set if privacy codes are in use.
  • Environmental factors (terrain, weather) can significantly affect range.

Scanning Stops Frequently

  • The scanner may be stopping on weak signals or noise. Adjust the SQ Level (Squelch Level) in the menu settings (Menu 12) to a higher value to filter out weaker signals.
  • Check the scan resume settings in the menu to ensure it's configured as desired (e.g., time-operated, carrier-operated).

Problemes d'actualització del firmware

The radio is delivered with factory stock firmware. If you wish to upgrade to OEFM M70CM firmware, you will need to download the appropriate firmware and use a computer for the upgrade process. Ensure you download the correct version for your PCB (check Menu 46 for your PCB version):
