Coax it to operate properly. Wiggle the wheels a little. Turn it off and
on again. Push on the face to ensure good contact. Whatever.

power off, power on, test, cuss

Twiddle knobs, power cycle, whack it harder.

Immediately buy a new one. You need to spend at least $1500 to make
this work.

Turn it off and then back on.

Turn it on. This request means you forgot. :-)

I check to see if something isn't set correctly, but othewise I don't do
anything. Turning the transponder off and on again practically guarantees
that it won't transmit for 30 to 45 seconds, because all modern
transponders are build to wait that long, before starting to transmit, to
allow for warm-up.

If the transponder is already warm then it will transmit right away.
It's not a process that has to be repeated because the switch was turned
to STBY and back.

look at the code to make sure it is set correctly..
check to see if the interrogator/response light is flashing
check to make sure it is in transmit and not left in "Standby"
if in transmit, move to standby and back on
