[Kenwood] Manual and reset info for TM241A

[Gary R.]

It's easy Mark. All the Kenwoods of that era work just about the same. To perform a
master reset on your dad's 241A turn OFF the radio, push and hold the MR button, and
then turn the radio ON. This will initiate a full reset however, it may not fix the
display problem. Some Kenwood radios of the 1990's had problems with the display drivers
and/or the microprocessors and neither are available anymore. Some have reported that a
low memory battery has led to display problems. You might concider replacing the lithium
cell if it is more than 5 years old whether the reset works or not. I've done many of
these and can help if necessary. Contact me direct (off the list) if you need a
assistance.
Good luck,
Gary
