Inspect the transceiver upon opening the packing
carton. Check that all controls and switches work freely,
and inspect the cabinet for any damage. Ensure the
accessory fuses and plugs pictured on page 4 are in-
cluded. If any damage is found, document it completely,
and contact the shipping company (or dealer, if you
purchased it over-the-counter) right away. Save the
packing materials in case you need to return the set
for service. If you have purchased optional internal
accessories separately, install them as described on
page 112.

Before connecting AC power, check the label on
the rear panel which indicates the AC mains voltage
for which your transceiver is currently set. If the volt-
age on this label does not match your AC mains volt-
age, a switch on the internal power supply in the trans-
ceiver must be moved, and the fuse must be changed
(U.S.A. users only). See page 116 for more informa-
tion and details.
After making certain the AC voltage for which the
transceiver is set matches your mains voltage, and that
the correct fuse is installed in the fuse holder, connect
the supplied AC power cord between the 3-pin ~AC IN
jack on the rear panel and the AC wall outlet.
The MARK-V FT-1000MP Field can also be oper-
ated from 13.8 Volts DC, negative ground, with any
well-regulated DC source being capable of providing
22 Amperes of continuous current.
If you are connecting to a DC source, use the op-
tional E-DC-20 DC Power Cable (with 25-A fuse). Con-
nect the RED power cable lead to the POSITIVE (+)
terminal of the DC source, and the BLACK power cable
lead to the NEGATIVE (–) terminal, then connect the
DC plug from the E-DC-20 to the ...
rear panel.
Warning: Our warranty does not cover damage
caused by improper supply voltage nor use of an
improper fuse.
NOTE
If you have both AC and DC power sources con-
nected at the same time, the MARK-V FT-1000MP
Field will automatically select the external DC sup-
ply as its power source.

RANSCEIVER
To assure long life of the components, a primary
consideration in setting up the MARK-V FT-1000MP
Field is providing for adequate ventilation around the
cabinet. The cooling system of the MARK-V FT-1000MP
Field must be free to draw cool air in at the lower rear
of the transceiver, and to expel warm air out of the
upper rear panel. Do not place the transceiver on top
of another heat-generating device such as a linear
amplifier, and do not place equipment, books or pa-
pers on top of the transceiver. Also, provide a few cen-
timeters of space on either side of the transceiver, if
possible. Avoid heating vents and window locations that
could expose the transceiver to excessive direct sun-
light, especially in hot climates.

ROUNDING
For protection from electrical shock, and to ensure
proper performance, connect the GND terminal on the
rear panel to a good earth ground, using a heavy
braided cable of the shortest length possible. All other
station equipment should be connected to the same
grounding cable, as close together as practical. If you
use a computer with or near the MARK-V FT-1000MP
Field, you may need to experiment with ground wiring
to suppress computer noise in the receiver, and ground
loops during transmission.
