The 7 steps given here will get you on the air
in your first QSO right away. So, you can
enjoy the exhilaration that comes with
opening a brand new transceiver.
Note: When received signals are too weak to recognize,
press and hold [MONI] to hear clearer signals. You will,
however, also hear background noise.
FIRST QSO
CAUTION:
◆ THE RECOMMENDED DUTY CYCLE IS
1 MINUTE OF TRANSMISSION AND
3 MINUTES OF RECEPTION. LONGER
TRANSMISSIONS OR EXTENDED
OPERATION IN THE HIGH POWER MODE
MAY CAUSE THE BACK OF THE
TRANSCEIVER TO GET HOT.
◆ TRANSMITTING WITH THE SUPPLIED
ANTENNA NEAR OTHER ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT CAN INTERFERE WITH THAT
EQUIPMENT. ALSO, TRANSMITTING NEAR
A REGULATED POWER SUPPLY, THAT IS
NOT RECOMMENDED BY KENWOOD, MAY
CAUSE THE POWER SUPPLY TO OUTPUT
AN EXTREMELY HIGH VOLTAGE. THIS
VOLTAGE COULD DAMAGE BOTH YOUR
TRANSCEIVER AND ANY OTHER
EQUIPMENT CONNECTED TO THE POWER
SUPPLY.
Note: If input voltage exceeds approximately 18 V,
warning beeps sound and “DC ERR” appears on
the display.
Press the PWR switch for 1 second or
longer.
