Orion Screen Blank

Radio Screen Blank After Update

Orion firmware versions after 1.363 have a new RAM-CLEAR feature that can be used to recover the radio in the event of a memory scramble or blank screen after updating the firmware. This can happen when the USER settings are not cleared after a firmware upgrade that changes the memory layout. This action will clear USER settings, Memories and Recordings.

To Activate the RAM-CLEAR feature.

1. PRESS and HOLD the VFO B LCK button while turning on the radio.
2. CONTINUE to HOLD the VFO B LCK button until the BATTERY FAILURE message appears at the top of the screen.
3. Answer YES if ‘Clear User Memories?’ appears on the screen.
4. Answer YES if ‘Reset Optional Filters?’ appears on the screen.
5. When the radio has completed booting up, turn radio OFF for a few seconds and then back ON.
