Application for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620663X20, IC: 511B-20663X20 Charging the Battery Pack If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by placing the FT-25R/E in the SBH-22 Rapid Charger desktop cra- dle, connected with the SAD-20B/C/U/G AC adapter.
Application for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620663X20, IC: 511B-20663X20 Charging the Battery Pack Low Battery Indication • As the battery discharges during use, the voltage will gradually become lower. When the battery voltage is too low for reliable op- eration, the “ ” icon will blink on the LCD display, indicating that the battery pack must be recharged before further use.
Application for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620663X20, IC: 511B-20663X20 Basic Operation Turn the Power ON and OFF • Be sure the Battery Pack is installed, and is fully charged. Connect the antenna to the top panel Antenna jack. • Rotate the PWR/VOL knob out of the click- stop to turn the transceiver ON.
Application for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620663X20, IC: 511B-20663X20 Basic Operation Frequency Navigation The FT-25R/E will initially be operating in the “VFO” mode. The VFO permits free tuning throughout the currently-selected operating band in designated frequency steps (operating channels). Three basic frequency navigation methods are provided on the FT-25R/E: 1 ) Tuning Frequency Pressing the [] key tunes the FT-25R/E toward a higher frequency, while...
