4 BASIC OPERATIONS

TURNING THE TRANSCEIVER ON

Prior to switching the main power (I/O) ON, read
carefully through "INSTALLING AND CONNECTING
THE TRANSCEIVER" and be sure that the transceiver
and external devices have been correctly installed and
connected. {page 1-1}
Positions of the front panel controls are not influenced by
switching the main power (I/O) ON or OFF or by turning
the transceiver power ( ) ON or OFF. However, an
unintentional event, such as very loud volume audio, may
take pace so the PWR control, [AF] (M) control, and [AF]
(S) control must be fully rotated counterclockwise, before
pressing the main I/O power switch or the [ ].
1 Press the main I/O power switch located on the rear
panel, to the "I" (ON) to source the power to the
transceiver.
The " " LED on the front panel lights orange and the status
of the transceiver, before it was previously turned OFF, is
retained in the transceiver. The transceiver retains the status
of the [ ], ON or OFF, when the main power I/O switch is
pressed down to the "O" position so the transceiver starts
up with the same status of the [ ] when the main I/O power
switch is pressed to the "I" position next time.
2 Press [ ] on the front panel to turn the transceiver
power ( ) ON.
The " " LED lights green after blinking orange. The startup
screen appears and then the normal operating screen
appears.

PRECAUTION
◆ When the transceiver power ( ) is first turned ON, be sure that
you set the clock (your local time) for the first time. The clock is
utilized for time stamping of various types of the files. Also, timed
tasks, such as timer recording, may not be function correctly if
the clock is not set.
◆ Refer to "CLOCK DISPLAY AND TIMER" for the configuration
method for the clock. {page 15-1}
Note:
◆ When the transceiver is switched ON by pressing the main I/O
power switch, power is sourced from the household AC outlet
using the AC cable; it may take time to start up regardless of the
configuration in Advanced Menu 22.
◆ "HELLO" is the default power-on message. You can change
this to any text, such as your desired message and your call
sign. {page 16-1}
◆ If the transceiver or the ambient environment is too cold, it may take
time for the main screen or the sub screen to brighten.

TURNING THE TRANSCEIVER OFF

The transceiver is equipped with the main I/O power
switch on the rear panel and with the [ ] on the front
panel.
Pressing the main I/O power switch to the "O" position
removes all power from the transceiver. Pressing [ ]
without shutting down the transceiver by pressing the main
I/O power switch to the "O" position turns the transceiver
power ( ) OFF and places it in the Standby state.
1 Press and hold [ ] on the front panel to turn the
transceiver power ( ) OFF.
A message notifying you of the end of operation appears,
and the transceiver enters the standby state. The " " LED on
the front panel lights orange.
2 Press the main I/O power switch on the rear panel to
the "I" position.
The main power from the household AC outlet is shut down.
Note:
◆ Even after the display disappears after turning the transceiver
power ( ) OFF, the " " LED blinks a few seconds. The
transceiver enters the standby state, when the LED starts
blinking. While the [ ] is blinking, shutting down the main power
(I/O) or disconnecting the AC cable from the household AC outlet
may cause the transceiver to malfunction.
◆ The transceiver has a function (low power consumption mode)
that can significantly reduces the power consumption while
in the standby state. Refer to "Standby State Low Power
Consumption" for further details.
◆ While the main power (I/O) is shut down, the transceiver power (
) cannot be turned ON even with a press of
programmable timer cannot be activated.
◆ Even after the transceiver power ( ) turns OFF, the cooling fan
may continue to run until the internal temperature cools down.
◆ You must first configure the Standby State Low Power Consumption
to be active while in the standby state, after the transceiver is
turned OFF by pressing [ ], and the cooling fan control.
