Page 12: Installation
Do not install the transceiver on top of another heat-generating device (such as a power supply or amplifier), and do not place equipment, books, or papers on top of the FT-90R. Avoid heating vents and window locations that could expose the transceiver to excessive direct sunlight, especially in hot climates. The FT-90R should not be used in an environment where the ambient temperature exceeds +60º... -
Page 13: Safety Information
Installation Safety Information The FT-90R is an electrical apparatus, as well as a generator of RF (Radio Fre- quency) energy, and you should exercise all safety precautions as are appropriate for this type of device. These safety tips apply to any device installed in a well- designed amateur radio station. -
Page 14: Antenna Considerations
Installation Antenna Considerations The FT-90R is designed for use with antennas presenting an impedance of near 50 at all operating frequencies. The antenna (or a 50 dummy load) should be connected whenever the transceiver is turned on, to avoid damage that could oth- erwise result if transmission occurs accidentally without an antenna. - Page 15 The use of the shortest possible length of the highest quality coaxial cable that fits within your budget will ensure the best performance from your FT-90R.

Page 16: Mobile Installation
Installation Mobile Installation The FT-90R must only be installed in vehicles having a negative ground electri- cal system. Mount the transceiver where the display, controls, and microphone are easily accessible, using the supplied MMB-68 mounting bracket. The transceiver may be installed in any position, but should not be positioned near a heating vent nor anywhere where it might interfere with driving (either visually or mechani- cally). -
Page 17: Mobile Power Connections
Warning! Never apply AC power to the power cable of the FT-90R, nor DC voltage greater than 15.8 Volts. When replacing the fuse, only use a 15-A fast- blow type. Failure to observe these safety precautions will void the Lim- ited Warranty on this product. -
Page 18: Base Station Installation
Installation Base Station Installation The FT-90R is ideal for base station use as well as in mobile installations. The FT- 90R is specifically designed to integrate into your station easily, using the infor- mation to follow as a reference. AC Power Supplies Operation of the FT-90R from an AC line requires a power source capable of providing at least 10 Amps continuously at 13.8 Volts DC. - Page 19 TNC’s on the market. The TX Data level ap- plied to the FT-90R from the TNC should be adjusted at the TNC side. The output deviation level is critical, and usually should be set to ±2.75 kHz of deviation (tolerance: ±0.25 kHz).
