4. To scan only the memory channels , press the
MR switch, and then either the UP or DOWN
switch. The scanner will search all
memory channels.
on the channel you wish to remain on . You
may choose the
described in the above steps.
H. Limited Band Scanner Operation
1 . To scan between a dial frequency and one of
the memory channels, enter the desired start­
ing frequency from the keyboard , and then
recall the memory frequency and press the
"#" key. The priority function will then be
activated. Now, press either the UP or DOWN
switch. If UP is pressed with the CLEAR­
MAN-BUSY switch in the MAN position , the
display will scan from the dial frequency to
the memory channel continuously. If the
CLEAR-MAN-BUSY switch is placed in the
BUSY position , the scanner will stop at a
channel where a carrier is present, and start
scanning again after 5 seconds.
2. For example, enter 1 4 5 . 7 50 into memory
channel 1 , and press "4750". Next, press
"DIAL", " 1 ", "MR" and finally "#". The
priority function will then be activated. When
the UP switch is pressed, the transceiver will
scan up to " 5 . 7 50 " , and then the dis
jump back to 1 44.750 MHz, continuing the
scan up to 1 4 5 . 7 5 0 MHz again.
3 . If the DOWN key is pressed instead, the
display will scan from 1 44.750 MHz to the
low band edge of "4.000" and then jump to
the high band edge of "7.995
7.9875)". From this band edge, the scan­
ning moves to the memory frequency of
"5 . 7 50", and then jumps to the dial frequen­
cy of "4. 7 50",
omitting
between . This scanning function will repeat
itself until you stop on a specific frequency .

Miscellaneous
1 . To disable the keyboard and lock the FT-
208 R on the frequency you are currently
using, slide the LOCK switch to the right.
This will provide protection against accidental
frequency changes. When the LOCK switch
is moved to the right , the display will indicate
"L". Locking the keyboard will not disable
the two-tone (DTMF) generator during trans­
mission .
2. To activate the memory backup in the CPU,
place the BACKUP switch in the ON position .
The built-in lithium battery will serve to
backup the memory frequency , programmable
shift frequency , etc. , while the power switch
is OFF , or while the transceiver is without
battery power. The battery has an estimated
lifetime of more than 5 years. After this
period, please ask your Yaesu Dealer for a
replacement.
3 . The t o p panel HIGH-LOW switch m a y b e set
to either the HIGH (2. 5 watt output) or LOW
(300 mW output) position , allowing you to
select different transmitter output powers.
Use the LOW position whenever possible to
prolong battery life.
J. Error Modes
1 . If you inadvertently program a frequency
incorrectly (e.g. , by pushing "73 5 3 " and
DIAL ) , the display will indicate "E" to tell
you an error has been m ade. If this occurs,
push C (Clear) to return to the previous
frequency .
2. If you program a repeater shift outside the
amateur band, such as -600 kHz shift at
1 44 . 500 MHz, the display will indicate "E"
when the PTT switch is closed. No transmis­
sion will occur under this condition.
