2. The system will display a message when it is testing the cellular radio.
If system cannot finish the test, press cancel and restart test.
3. Once the test is complete, the screen will display a message to verify if the test passed
or failed. If the test passes, select BACK to choose another test. If the test fails, see
Troubleshooting Guide for more detailed information.
