   • Preset button 1 = ENTER DIAGNOSTICS. This test enters diagnostics from the speaker walk-around test. Metrics are available with SEL and ON buttons indicating time played in AM/FM, media, number of buttons pressed, etc.
   • Preset button 2 = EEPROM BLOCK STATUS. This test shows the validity of memory to calibrate the clock, and seek sensitivity.
   • Preset button 3 = EXIT DIAGNOSTICS.
   • Preset button 4 = Software configuration level. This test queries each radio system controller for its software configuration level.
   • Preset button 5 = DISPLAY TEST. This test lights all the display segments for five seconds and then turns all segments off.
   • Preset button 6 = RAM CONTENTS READOUT. To enter these tests, press preset button 1 while in the speaker walk-around test, then the desired preset button.
