Before turning on main power, please verify the following precautions once more.
Verify all ground connections are secure. See page 9 for details.
Connect the antenna(s) to the rear-panel Antenna jack(s). See page 10 for details.
Connect the microphone (and/or key or paddle). See pages 11 and 12 for details.
If using a linear amplifier, verify the interconnections have been successfully completed? See pages 13 and 14 for
details.
Rotate both [ AF GAIN ] controls to their fully counter-clockwise positions, to avoid a loud blast of audio when the
transceiver turns on. See page 21 for details.
Rotate the [ RF PWR ] control fully counter-clockwise, to set minimum power to begin. See page 20 for details.
If your AC mains power should suffer a significant fluctuation or interruption, we recommend that you go through a
complete power-up cycle, in order to ensure that all circuits are properly initialized. To do this, be sure the front panel
[ POWER ] switch is turned off, then set the rear panel main power switch to the "O" position. Now unplug the AC
cable from the rear panel, and wait ten seconds before continuing with the start-up procedure described on the next
page.
