INITIAL SETUP

Selecting a location

Select a location for the transceiver that allows
adequate air circulation, free from extreme heat,
cold, or vibration, and other electromagnetic
sources.
Never place the transceiver in areas such as:
• Temperatures that are below –10°C (+14°F) or
above +60°C (+140°F).
• An unstable place that slopes or vibrates.
• In direct sunlight.
• High humidity and temperature environments.
• Dusty environments.
• Noisy environments.

Connecting a microphone

Plug the microphone into the [SP/MIC] jack,
and attach the microphone's cable to the
microphone plate to avoid cable breaks.
LConfirm that the transceiver is OFF before
connecting or disconnecting optional equipment.
1. Attach the microphone's split ring to the plate.
2. Attach the microphone plate to the [GND]
terminal with its bolt.
3. Plug the microphone into the [SP/MIC] jacks.

NOTE:
• Keep the battery pack attached, even when
using an external power supply.
• Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a small
current still flows in the transceiver. Remove the
battery pack from the transceiver when not using
it for a long time. Otherwise, the attached battery
pack will become exhausted.
• When the temperature is around 0°C (+32°F) or
below, the battery protection function automatically
sets transceiver power to 0.5 W, and disables
power selections (1 W, 2.5 W, 5 W, and 10 W*).
* "10 W" can be selected only when using an
external DC power supply.
