Installation

This chapter describes the installation procedure for integrating the FT-90R into
a typical amateur radio station. It is presumed that you possess technical knowl-
edge and conceptual understanding consistent with your status as a licensed
radio amateur. Please take some extra time to make certain that the important safety
and technical requirements detailed in this chapter are followed closely.

Preliminary Inspection

Inspect the transceiver visually immediately upon opening the packing carton.
Confirm that all controls and switches work freely, and inspect the cabinet for any
damage. Gently shake the transceiver to verify that no internal components have
been shaken loose due to rough handling during shipping.
If any evidence of damage is discovered, document it thoroughly and contact the
shipping company (or your local dealer, if the unit was purchased over-the-counter)
so as to get instructions regarding the prompt resolution of the damage situation.
Be certain to save the shipping carton, especially if there are any punctures or
other evidence of damage incurred during shipping; if it is necessary to return the
unit for service or replacement, use the original packing materials but put the
entire package inside another packing carton, so as to preserve the evidence of
shipping damage for insurance purposes.

Installation Tips

To ensure long life of the components, be certain to provide adequate ventilation
around the cabinet of the FT-90R.
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 C (140º F).
