Before You Begin; Connecting Ac Power; Configuring Your Ft Dx 9000 Using The Menu - Yaesu FT DX 9000 CONTEST - MANUAL 2 Operation Manual

1. Connecting AC Power

There are two power switches on this transceiver, one each on the rear and front panels. If the rear panel's Power switch is
not turned on, the front panel Power switch will not function.
Push the rear panel's Power
switch to the I position
to apply power from the
power supply to the OCXO
(Reference Crystal Oven)
and to enable the front panel
power switch.
Press and hold in the front
panel Power switch for two
seconds to turn the trans-
ceiver on.
2. Configuring Your FT
The FT 9000 Contest is configured, at the factory, with its various functions set up in a manner typical for most opera-
DX
tion. Via the "Menu" system, you may change these settings to match the way you want your transceiver to operate.
Menu programming is enabled by pressing the MNU
(Menu) key momentarily. You may then rotate the Main
Tuning Dial to display the desired Menu item, in the menu
list, on the LCD. Each of the settings can be changed or
customized via the CLAR/VFO-B knob, as you like, in
this mode.
Once you have made a change to the configuration of a
Menu item or items, you must press and hold in the
MNU (Menu) key for two seconds to save the new set-
tings and exit to normal operation.
If you wish to cancel a change to a Menu item or items,
just press the MNU key momentarily. If you do not press
and hold in the MNU key in for two seconds, any changes
you have made will not be saved.

Note
The self-check function of the CPU inside the radio will
begin. Then, if the optional RF μ-Tuning Unit is installed,
the μ-Tuning circuitry will receive the data from the CPU
and it will perform its own self-check, and will preset it-
self to the proper settings for the current operating fre-
quency.
While the μ-Tuning circuitry is obtaining the data, the drive
mechanism will move from one end of its range to the
other end (fast), and this will cause a temporary "motor"
noise that can be heard; this, does not represent any trouble
or problem.
When the optional μ-Tuning Unit and/or the Data Man-
agement Unit are installed, the initialization process for
the transceiver will take about 10 seconds, after which
operation may begin.
