A self-test is performed once per minute to verify that the antenna is connected. Also, a calibration is performed at varying intervals based on time and temperature. A user-initiated test of the GTS 8XX interface can also be performed. The test criteria are identical to the power up self-test, although the user-initiated test is concluded by an aural pass/fail message. NOTE: A user-initiated test can only be performed when in standby or failed mode. Performing a user-initiated test: 1) Turn the small right knob to select the Traffic Page. 2) From the Traffic Page, press the MENU Key to display the Page Menu. 3) Turn the small right knob to select 'Self Test?'. 4) Press the ENT Key, 'TEST' is displayed.
