BASIC OPERATION
The Menu Driven Memory Keyer™ is simple to operate. The push-button marked PWR controls power
to the unit. After turning the unit on, the keyer will light the four LEDs sequentially and send the
characters "O" and "N" in Morse Code using the sidetone speaker.
This tells you the MFJ-492 is ready
for operation.
Start sending with the paddle. Adjust the volume and speed to your preference. If the speed is still too
fast or too slow, adjust the range of the speed knob using the Speed Set feature. See Menu Operation.

settings to the factory default:

If the keyer is turned on in the normal mode (without the MENU key held down), then the keyer will
retain all settings prior to power down.

MENU OPERATION ,
The MFJ-492 menu system consists of a menu button marked MENU, five function buttons marked
F1-F5, and four menu LEDs marked A-D. Pressing the MENU key changes the menu level. The
keyer will sound an audible key click and light the Menu LED of the new level. The row of boxes
beside that LED now contains the functions of keys F1-FS.
For example, to enable the Tune (key down) function, look for the box marked Output Tune on the
front panel. It is found on Row B under the column FS. Press the MENU key until the LED marked
B lights up. Then press the F5 key. The ae will respond by entering the Tune mode. Squeeze the
paddles to exit that mode.
