   a screen requiring a clock reset, the procedure may have failed. Repeat steps 7 & 8. If it fails
   again, contact your dealer.
10. If you return to a normal opening screen in step 9, turn off your radio. It is now time to
    reset the MCU (Main Control Unit). With the radio off, press and hold both the PTT & PF1
    buttons while powering on the radio. The screen will ask if you want to Initialize Radio. Use
    the green button to confirm and the radio will then reboot to the clock setting screen. Reset
    the clock using the procedure shown above.

    code plug in the v1.18 programming software. Choose the correct COM port (radio must be
    on) and click the Write To Radio icon (6th from the left). After the write period, the radio
    should reboot to your saved code plug. You can make any changes you require and write
    them to the radio. If you do make changes, remember to save the file again.
