Before You Begin; Connecting Ac Power; Setting Your Local Time; Configuring Your Ft Dx 9000 Using The Menu - Yaesu FTDX9000D - DATA MANAGEMENT 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 (Ref-
erence 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. Setting Your Local Time

When first turning on the FT
this, several functions will not work correctly, including the World Clock, Great Circle Map, etc.; please see the appropri-
ate section of the TFT Operating Manual for details on Local Time Setup.

3. Configuring Your FT DX 9000 Using the Menu

The FT 9000 is configured, at the factory, with its various functions set up in a manner typical for most operation. Via
DX
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 TFT. 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 opening screen will appear on the TFT dis-
play, and the self-check function of the CPU inside
the radio will begin. Then, the μ-Tuning circuitry
will receive the data from the CPU, and it will per-
form its own self-check, and will preset itself to the
proper settings 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 radio is turned on for the first time, it
takes about 50 seconds (from turning the radio on
to completing the self-check) until the radio be-
comes ready to use; however, from the next time
you turn it on, it will take around 10 seconds until
the transceiver is ready for full operation.
