jaguar 700PI Reset?

What is the the small button on the side of the radio down from the antenna that you can only push in with the head of a pen? is the a reset button, I it is where you connect the cable to the radio for programming but can you reset in the field if needed?

Inside the metal ring? That's the antenna transfer switch! It's not a reset button.

When you connect any accessory with its own antenna to the radio, the accessory connector
presses that pin in, thus transferring the RF signal through the port to the accessory's antenna, and disconnects the radio's own antenna.

Thanks, An officer in the field kept pushing the button or something when his radio kept freezing, thought there was a trick I did not know about. Is there a way to reset the radio in the field if it the buttons or display screen freeze's?

In the field?? Drive it to the shop.

Drop it again? or better yet. turn it off then on?

Let me guess, when the radio was "freezing", was it showing a message on the display saying "Hardware error" and giving a code in hex?

Turning it off and then on again is the general remedy...in the short term. In the long
term, the radio will need to be repaired or sold at county auction to some sucker.


A cold solder joint is the most likely cause.


But that's only an antenna transfer switch, not a reset button.

There is no reset button on that radio.
