Operation; Preliminary Steps; Initial Power Up, Band Selection - Yaesu FT-767GX Operating Manual

This section is intended to familiarize you with
the various operating features of the transcei­
ver. The early subsections
the basic operating procedures for the receiver
and transmitter. However, for these to work as
described it is assumed that you have performed
each step in the order given,
that you have already read §'2, and are familiar
with the locations and basic functions o f the
various controls and
transceiver has been installed as described in
§3. If not, please read §'2 and §3 now.
Subsections 4. 8 through 4. 12 describe the more
complex operations
features, memories and
recommend random experimentation
controls until a fter
procedures. Some keys
disable other functions and may cause confusion.
Although this should not damage the equipment,
you may have to turn o ff the transceiver and
press the BACKUP switch (twice) to reset the
memory system ( §3.6 ) if you loose track of opera­
tion. If the location
control or switch is unclear, re fer to §'2.
Subsections 4. 13 through 4. 1 8 o f fer some sugges-
tions for implementing
applications. The comments and
these final sections are intended
own experimentation, rather than to serve as a
last word on the best way to operate: ultimately
it is up to you to choos e the best features and
techniques for your own operating preferences.

Preliminary Steps

Be fore plugging in the power cord to the wall
outlet, double check that the AC voltage label
on the rear panel match your line voltage. Also,
set the BACKUP switch on (undepressed position)
if it is not already. Set the front panel power
switch to the O F F (undepressed) position.
Connect a microphone, if desired, to the MIC
jack. For CW operation, connect your CW key or
keyer paddles to the KEY jack.
