CONTENTS
Please read all safety and operating instructions before using this transceiver. For best results, be aware of all warnings on the transceiver and follow these operating instructions. Retain these safety and operating instructions for future reference.
1Power Source
Connect this transceiver only to the power source described in the operating instructions or as marked on the transceiver itself.
2Power Cable Protection
Route all power cables safely. Ensure the power cables can neither be walked upon nor pinched by items placed near or against the cables. Pay particular attention to locations near AC receptacles, AC outlet strips and points of entry to the transceiver.
3Electrical Shocks
Take care not to drop objects or spill liquids into the transceiver through enclosure openings. Metal objects, such as hairpins or needles, inserted into the transceiver may contact voltages resulting in serious electrical shocks. Never permit children to insert any objects into this transceiver.
4Grounding and Polarization
Do not attempt to defeat methods used for grounding and electrical polarization in the transceiver, particularly involving the input power cable.
5Outdoor Antenna Grounding
Adequately ground all outdoor antennas used with this transceiver using approved methods. Grounding helps protect against voltage surges caused by lightning. It also reduces the chance of a

6Power Lines
Minimum recommended distance for an outdoor antenna from power lines is one and
7Ventilation
Locate the transceiver so as not to interfere with its ventilation. Do not place books or other equipment on the transceiver that may impede the free movement of air. Allow a minimum of 4 inches (10 cm) between the rear of the transceiver and the wall or operating desk shelf.
8Water and Moisture
Do not use the transceiver near water or sources of moisture. For example, avoid use near bathtubs, sinks, swimming pools, and in damp basements and attics.
9Abnormal Odors
The presence of an unusual odor or smoke is often a sign of trouble. Immediately turn the power OFF and remove the power cable. Contact a dealer or the nearest Service Center for advice.
10Heat
Locate the transceiver away from heat sources such as radiators, stoves, amplifiers or other devices that produce substantial amounts of heat.
11Cleaning
Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner, gasoline or benzene to clean the cabinet. Use a clean cloth with warm water or a mild detergent.
12Periods of Inactivity
Disconnect the input power cable from the power source when the transceiver is not used for long periods of time.
13Servicing
Remove the transceiverís enclosure only to do accessory installations described by this manual or accessory manuals. Follow provided instructions carefully to avoid electrical shocks. If unfamiliar with this type of work, seek assistance from an experienced individual, or have a professional technician do the task.
14Damage Requiring Service
Enlist the services of qualified personnel in the following cases:
a)The power supply or plug is damaged.
b)Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into the transceiver.
c)The transceiver has been exposed to rain.
d)The transceiver is operating abnormally or performance has degraded seriously.
e)The transceiver has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.

ANTENNA CONNECTION
The type of the antenna system, consisting of the antenna, ground, and feed line, will greatly affect the successful performance of the transceiver. Use a properly adjusted 50 Ω antenna of good quality to let your transceiver perform at its best. Use a
While the transceiverís protection circuit will activate if the SWR is greater than 2.5:1, do not rely on protection to compensate for a poorly functioning antenna system. High SWR will cause the transmit output to drop, and may lead to radio frequency interference to consumer products such as stereo receivers and televisions. You may even interfere with your own transceiver. Reports that your signal is garbled or distorted, especially at peak modulation, may indicate that your antenna system is not efficiently radiating the transceiverís power. If you feel a tingle from the transceiverís cabinet or the microphoneís metal fittings when you modulate, you can be certain that, at the least, your coax connector is loose at the rear of the radio and, at the worst, your antenna system is not efficiently radiating power.
Connect your antenna feed line to ANT 1. If you are using two antennas, connect the second antenna to
ANT 2.
CAUTION:
TRANSMITTING WITHOUT FIRST CONNECTING AN ANTENNA OR OTHER MATCHED LOAD MAY DAMAGE THE TRANSCEIVER. ALWAYS CONNECT THE ANTENNA TO THE TRANSCEIVER BEFORE TRANSMITTING.
USE A LIGHTNING ARRESTOR TO PREVENT FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR DAMAGE TO THE TRANSCEIVER.
APPROX. LOSS (dB) PER 30 METERS (100 FEET) OF CORRECTLY MATCHED 50 Ω LINE
ïUse only as a general guide. Specifications may vary between cable manufacturers.

GROUND CONNECTION
At the minimum, a good DC ground is required to prevent such dangers as electric shock. For superior communications results, a good RF ground is required, against which the antenna system can operate. Both of these conditions can be met by providing a good earth ground for your station. Bury one or more ground rods, or a large copper plate under the ground, and connect this to the transceiver GND terminal. Use heavy gauge wire or a copper strap, cut as short as possible, for this connection. Just as for antenna work, all connections must be clean and tight.
First connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply and check that polarities are correct (Red: positive, Black: negative). Then connect the connectorized end of the DC power cable to the DC 13.8 Vpower connector on the transceiver rear panel. Press the DC power cable connector firmly into the connector on the transceiver until the locking tab clicks.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION
Consider carefully how to protect your equipment and your home from lightning. Even in areas where lightning storms are less common, there are usually a limited number of storms each year. Take the time to study the best way to protect your installation from the effects of lightning by consulting reference material on the subject.
The installation of a lightning arrestor is a start, but there is more that you can do. For example, terminate your antenna system transmission lines at an entry panel that you install outside your home. Ground this entry panel to a good outside ground, and then connect appropriate feed lines between the entry panel and your transceiver. When a lightning storm occurs, you can ensure added protection by disconnecting the feed lines from your transceiver.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE A GAS PIPE (WHICH IS
CLEARLY DANGEROUS), AN ELECTRICAL CONDUIT (WHICH
HAS THE WHOLE HOUSE WIRING ATTACHED AND MAY ACT LIKE AN ANTENNA), OR A PLASTIC WATER PIPE FOR A
GROUND.
DC POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
In order to use this transceiver, you will need a separate 13.8 V DC power supply that must be purchased separately. DO NOT directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet! Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a regulated power supply. Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires. The current capacity of your power supply must be 20.5 A peak or more.
CAUTION:
BEFORE CONNECTING THE DC POWER SUPPLY TO THE TRANSCEIVER, BE SURE TO SWITCH THE TRANSCEIVER AND THE DC POWER SUPPLY OFF.
DO NOT PLUG THE DC POWER SUPPLY INTO AN AC OUTLET UNTIL YOU MAKE ALL CONNECTIONS.
DC power supply
REPLACING FUSES
If the fuse blows, determine the cause then correct the problem. After the problem is resolved, only then replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect the power plug and contact your dealer or nearest Service Center for assistance.
CAUTION: REPLACE BLOWN FUSES ONLY AFTER
INVESTIGATING AND CORRECTING THE CAUSE OF THE FAILED FUSE. ALWAYS REPLACE A BLOWN FUSE BY A NEW
FUSE WITH THE SPECIFIED RATINGS.
