2. Overview Your 9313 HF SSB transceiver employs the latest concepts in design and reliability for long range communications. It has been designed for 12V DC operation and mobile installation. The unit consists of a transceiver and a separate control head which can be located up to 100 metres away from the transceiver.

There are two types of mounting cradles that can be used when installing your transceiver: • code 117 mounting cradle—front entry (normally supplied with the 9313) • code 118 mounting cradle—top/bottom entry. Both types of cradle (supplied with 6 metres of DC power cable) can be used to mount the transceiver.
Apply gentle pressure to the front panel of the transceiver and lock into the cradle by turning the cam catches one quarter of a turn in either direction with a suitable tool or small coin. 9313 HF SSB transceiver...
The adaptor plates projecting studs fit into the slides in the cradle. Insert the transceiver adaptor plate studs into the cradle slides and push fully into the cradle. Secure the transceiver into the cradle with the spring clips. 9313 HF SSB transceiver...

To obtain the best performance and radiation efficiency from your transceiver installation, it is important to consider the physical location distance from the transceiver and earthing of the antenna. Detailed and specific installation instructions are provided with each antenna. 9313 HF SSB transceiver...
Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed throughout this section that: • the 12V DC power is supplied to your transceiver • the control head On/Off button is switched on. Refer to Switching the transceiver on or off on page 4-2. 9313 HF SSB transceiver...
Switching on or off with a PIN It is most important not to forget your PIN, otherwise you will never be able to switch on your transceiver. If this happens, you will have to return your transceiver to Codan for them to delete the allocated number.
