The IC-2820 has a magnetic attached face plate. The connector cable may not be attached to the radio initially (use the short one, not
the long extender cable). Note that the six-pin end goes into the main unit and the four-pin end goes into the face plate. The micro-
phone should already be attached and covered by a faceplate.
NOTE: The IC-2820 is a dual receive radio with a left and right side and set of keys and
knobs. The active side is identified by a MAIN icon in the top "left" corner of the ac-
tive display. When the instructions refer to MAIN key or knob, they refer to the active
transceiver side and do not affect the inactive side until the inactive side is made active.
To select the MAIN band, either press the DIAL knob on the side you wish to set ac-
tive.
