POWER Switch

Press and hold in this switch for one second to turn the
transceiver on, after first setting the rear panel
[ POWER ] switch to the "I" position. Press and hold
in this switch for one second, similarly, to turn the trans-
ceiver off.

DVICE
This is the actual power On/Off switch for turning
on the transceiver. If the rear panel's [ POWER ]
switch is set to the "O" position, the front panel
[ POWER ] switch will not function.
If you press this switch momentarily while the trans-
ceiver is turned on, the transceiver's audio will be
muted for three seconds.
MOX Switch
Pressing this button engages the PTT (Push to Talk)
circuit, to activate the transmitter (the LED inside this
button will glow red). It must be turned off (the red
LED will be off) for reception. This button replicates
the action of the Push to Talk (PTT) switch on the mi-
crophone. When engaging the [ MOX ] button (the LED
inside this button glows red) or otherwise causing a
transmission to be started, be certain you have either
an antenna or 50-Ohm dummy load connected to the
selected Antenna jack.

TUNE Switch
This is the on/off switch for the FT-2000's Automatic
Antenna Tuner.
Pressing this button momentarily places the antenna
tuner in line between the transmitter final amplifier and
the antenna jack (" " icon will appear in the dis-
play). Reception is not affected.
Pressing and holding in this button for 1/2 second, while
receiving in an amateur band, activates the transmitter
for a few seconds while the automatic antenna tuner
rematches the antenna system impedance for minimum
SWR. The resulting setting is automatically stored in
one of the antenna tuner's 100 memories, for instant
automatic recall later when the receiver is tuned near
the same frequency.
Pressing this button momentarily, while the Tuner is
engaged, will take the Automatic Antenna tuner out of
the transmit line.

OTE
When the Automatic Antenna Tuner is tuning itself, a
signal is being transmitted. Therefore, be absolutely
certain that an antenna or dummy load is connected to
the selected antenna jack before pressing and holding
in the [ TUNE ] button to start antenna tuning.
