# Check In a Radio

### Overview

Use **Check In** to close outstanding checkout records when radios are returned. It also enables **PDF slip export** when a checked-out radio is loaded in single check-in mode.

### Single radio check-in

1. Go to **Check In**.
2. Scan/type the **Serial Number / Internal ID** and press **Enter**, or click **Lookup Radio**.
3. Review **Current Assignment**:
   - assigned user
   - checkout date/time
   - accessories
   - checkout note (if one was entered)
4. Set the returned radio **Condition**: **Good**, **Damaged**, or **Needs Service**.
5. (Optional) **Delete photo on check-in** removes the user’s profile photo when you complete check-in. This preference persists between sessions.
6. (Optional) Click **Export PDF Slip** to generate a checkout slip PDF (see “Checkout Slip PDF”).
7. Click **Complete Check-In**. You’ll see a green confirmation toast.

### Tip: when the PDF button appears

**Export PDF Slip** appears only when a checked-out radio is loaded (single check-in mode). It opens a Save dialog, generates the PDF, then opens it automatically.
