Never operate the tuner with its cover removed! Touching the components inside the
tuner while transmitting may result in RF burns and injury.
Never exceed tuner specifications! Do not transmit with a high SWR!

3.1. Turning ON and OFF

After you complete the tuner installation instructions (see Section
master power ON/OFF switch on the back panel is in the OFF position, and the plug is pulled out of the mains
socket.
Connect the power cable of the amplifier to the wall mains socket and turn it on from the master power
ON/OFF switch on the back panel and from the POWER button on the front panel.
The ACOM 06AT tuner has no power switch. It is turned ON and OFF together with the
ACOM amplifier.
To access and operate the menus related to the tuner, you should explicitly specify that it has been installed.
To do that, enter the USER PREFERENCES menu (see Section
select:
The amplifier will assign the connected tuner and will then start taking care of its control and indications. At
the assignment and at any subsequent turning on, the tuner will perform a quick tuning to retrieve from its
memory the last saved tuning for the current frequency of the amplifier.
The tuner is also turned off together with the amplifier. Thus, the four antennas are automatically turned off
and grounded. There is no need to assign the tuner from the menu at any subsequent powering on/off. The
amplifier will remember the tuner is installed and will continue to take care of it.
If, for any reason, you decide to operate the amplifier without the tuner, enter the USER PREFERENCES menu
again and select:
After unassigning the tuner, you will have to connect a matched antenna operating at the respective
frequencies to the amplifier output. Also, when the tuner is unassigned, you will not be able to use its antenna
switch.
