My Yeasu FTM 6000 R is LOCKED

Hi, I bought the radio last summer and it has been working fine. But Now every button or knob, except for volume,
on the face of the radio causes the face to display “LOCK”. I can’t change the channel or program group. The one channel it is locked on does work however. I can’t get to the menu either.

I was attempting add some frequencies and the On button + F1 at startup did bring up the “CLONE” screen but pressing the right hand knob only brings up “LOCK”.

Restarting the radio makes no difference. Obviously something is wrong, can you help me?

Thank you.

Yes, this works for me.

Thank you for the speedy reply! Oddly my “Advanced manual” doesn’t address this at all, so I’ll have to look for another manual. However. Pressing and holding the power button only shuts the radio down without disabling the LOCK. Pressing the button for a shorter time also failed to disable LOCK. More ideas?

Eureka! Not only did I find the correct manual, but I realized the power button just needed to be tapped, which unlocked my radio. Again, thanks a bunch for the help.
