Before You Begin; Connecting Ac Power; Configuring Your Ft Dx 9000 Contest Using The Menu - Yaesu FT DX 9000 CONTEST 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 I I I 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 transceiver 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
DX
operation. 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 ] knob 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 settings 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.

The self-check function of the CPU inside the ra-
dio 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 itself to the proper set-
tings for the current operating frequency.
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
Management Unit are installed, the initialization
process for the transceiver will take about 10 sec-
onds, after which operation may begin.
