Trouble shooting

If you experience problems with your TCB-550evo transceiver, ﬁ rst check the power supply source. Poor connection of the power supply source can cause problems such as no transmission, no reception or poor reception, and weak or no sound. Ensure that the microphone and antenna are also well connected.

If this does not solve the problem, reset your transceiver as follows.

Switch off the transceiver.
Pressing both AM/FM button, 9/19 button and turn on the transceiver.

This will reset the transceiver, so all the memories are erased and the parameters return to the initial factory setting. This should ﬁ x most problems. In case of further difﬁ culty, please consult your dealer or visit our website.
