  • Page 12: Installation

    Avoid heating vents and window locations that could expose the trans- ceiver to excessive direct sunlight, especially in hot climates. The FTM-10R should not be used in an environment where the ambient temperature exceeds +140 °F (+60 °C).

  • Page 13: Safety Information

    AFETY NFORMATION The FTM-10R is an electrical apparatus, as well as a generator of High RF (Radio Fre- quency) energy. You should exercise all safety precautions that are appropriate for this type of device. These safety tips apply to any device installed in a well-designed amateur radio station.

  • Page 14: Mobile Installation

    NSTALLATION OBILE NSTALLATION The FTM-10R must only be installed in vehicles having a 13.8 Volt negative ground elec- trical system. Mount the transceiver where the display, controls, and microphone are easily accessible, using the supplied Mobile Mounting Bracket. The transceiver may be installed in almost any location, but should not be positioned near a heating vent or anywhere where it might interfere with driving (either visually or me- chanically).

  • Page 15: Mobile Power Connections

    Warning! Never apply AC power to the power cable of the FTM-10R, nor DC voltage greater than 15.8 Volts. When replacing the fuse, use only a 15-A fuse. Failure to observe these safety precautions will void the Limited Warranty on this product.

  • Page 16: Base Station Installation

    NSTALLATION TATION NSTALLATION The FTM-10R is ideal for base station use as well as in mobile installations. The FTM-10R is specifically designed to integrate into your station easily, using the following information as a reference. AC Power Supplies Operation of the FTM-10R from an AC line requires a power supply capable of providing at least 9 Amps continuously at 13.8 Volts DC.

  • Page 17: Antenna Considerations

    NTENNA ONSIDERATIONS The FTM-10R is designed for use with antennas presenting an impedance of near 50 Ohms at all operating frequencies. To avoid damage that could result if transmission occurs acci- dentally without an antenna, the antenna (or a 50 Ohm dummy load) should be connected whenever the transceiver is turned on.
