Antenna Installation - Yaesu FT-250R Operating Manual

Important Notes!
Do not connect an improper AC Adapter. Use only the supplied PA-38 AC Adapter.
Do not charge an improper battery (one not specifically designed for use in the
PA-38/CD-30).
Disconnect the pack from the CD-30 Desktop Charger, and unplug the PA-38 AC
Adapter from the AC line outlet, when charging is completed.
The PA-38 AC Adapter and/or CD-30 Desktop Charger will generate a moderate
amount of heat during the charging process. This is a normal condition.
The PA-38/CD-30 is designed for charging only, and is not designed for operation
(transmission/reception) of the transceiver.
Periodically wipe the charging terminals in the nest in the charger stand, using a dry
cloth, to ensure good connections between the charger and battery.
Caution!!
When charging a battery pack alone (not attached to the transceiver), do not allow any
metal object to short the terminals on top of the pack.
Do not allow any metal objects to short the terminals in the nest of the charger stand,
as a short-circuit could cause overheating of the charger circuitry.
The supplied antenna provides good results over the entire frequency range of the trans-
ceiver. However, for enhanced coverage in remote areas, an external mobile or base sta-
tion antenna may prove beneficial.
To install the supplied antenna
Hold the bottom end of the antenna, then screw it onto the
mating connector on the transceiver until it is snug. Do not
over-tighten by use of extreme force.
Notes:
Never transmit without having an antenna connected.
When installing the supplied antenna, never hold the
upper part of the antenna while screwing it onto the
mating connector on the transceiver.
If using an external antenna for transmission, ensure that the SWR presented to the
transceiver is 1.5:1 or lower, to avoid excessive feedline loss.
