Operation
Before Starting
Before plugging in the transceiver, check your
installation to make sure your AC voltage is cor-
rect, and that your ground and antenna are con-
nected as described in the /nstallation chapter.
Then preset the following controls as indicated:
POWER, ANT RX, MOX, VOX, and AF REV
switches all off.
AGC selector to AUTO
IPO switch OFF
AF GAIN MAIN (inner) and SUB (outer) controls

Connect your microphone and CW key/pad-
dies, then plug the AC cord into the wall outlet.
FT-1000MP Menu Programming
The FT-1000MP incoporates a wealth of oper-
ating functions and features. For flexibility in con-
figuring these capabilities, and to keep the front
panel controls to a minimum, an internal Menu
Programming routine is used. This allows custom-
izing the functions via menu selections that pre-
viously required many elaborate DIP switch
settings, power-on/button holding routines, or ad-
ditional front and rear panel controls/switches.
This permits each rig to have a custom "personal-
ity' that specifically matches your operating re-
quirements, with the capability for easy
modification as your requirements change.
Descriptions for most transceiver functions in
this chapter assume default (factory-configured)
transceiver settings. Menu programming is en-
abled by pressing the FAST button, followed by
&"_], then rotating the MEM/VFO CH knob to display
the desired setting. Each of the settings can be
changed or customized as you like in this mode.
For clarity's sake, transceiver functions that have
several settings or options are referenced to the
Menu Programming chapter separately, where
details of programming are covered.
Receiving
Note: the following procedure assumes the trans-
ceiver has not been used before, and not already
set for dual reception. If appears on the
display when you switch on the set in the next
step, you should press the blue button to
return to the single-receiver mode (for now).
Press the POWER switch on. The meter and
display should light up. If the display is too bright
for your taste, it can be switched to a subdued
level using menu selection 3-4 (see page 87).
Take a moment to study the display. You
should see at the bottom, with the operating
frequency of the Main VFO just above the main
tuning knob. To the right of that is the clarifier
offset (2G), followed by the memory channel
number (#-& 'cx by default). At the right side of
the display are the current mode and frequency of
SUB VFO-B, which we'll talk about later.
Amateur Band Selection

tween the two tuning knobs) (@ J 2 3))

Key Beeper
Pressing a front-panel button normally
produces a beep. Its volume is independent
of receiver volume, and can be set by
adjusting a trimmer via a hole on the bottom
panel of the transceiver case.
To change the pitch of the beeper, recall menu
selection 4-2 (page 88) and select the desired
pitch (between 220 and 7040 Hz) by turning
the dial. You can also disable the beeper via
menu selection 4-1 (also page 88 ).
