INITIAL SETUP

Before initial setup

Confirm that the linear amplifier, exciters, and AC
power source are correctly connected, as described
below.
Otherwise, the exciter cannot externally control the
amplifier or adjust values, even if the initial setup is
done.
z The ground of the amplifier and the AC power cable
are correctly connected to [GND].
z The AC power plug is correctly connected to the
power cable and outlet.
z The controller is correctly attached to the main unit
or correctly separated using the supplied controller
cable.
z Antennas (impedance: 50 Ω) are correctly connected.
z The exciters are correctly connected.

CI-V settings

To change the frequency band in synchronization
with the operation of an Icom exciter, check the CI-V
settings on the exciter.
L The CI-V settings can be checked in the Set mode of the
Icom exciter.
L The linear amplifier cannot be remotely controlled by a
non-Icom exciter using CI-V.
When using a non-Icom exciter, change the frequency
band of the amplifier and switch an antenna before
transmitting.
L See the exciter's instruction manual for its operation.

D CI-V address

Setting the exciter's address for the CI-V remote control.
L Even if 2 Icom exciters are connected, they will operate
with their respective CI-V address.

D CI-V baud rate

Setting the CI-V data transfer speed.
L Even if 2 Icom exciters are connected, they will operate
with their respective baud rate.

D CI-V Transceive function

Confirm that the CI-V Transceive setting of the Icom
exciter is set to "ON."
L Even if the function is turned OFF, the operation band can
be synchronized, but it takes time to synchronize due to
frequency data acquisition.
L If synchronization is delayed by about 1 second even if
the function is turned ON, change the CI-V baud rate of
an Icom exciter to "19200" or "9600."

Turning power ON or OFF

z Push .
POWER
• The opening screen is displayed.
z To turn OFF the linear amplifier, hold down
for 1 second.
POWER
L When an Icom exciter is turned ON, the amplifier
operates in the Antenna Selector mode. (p. 4-1)
CAUTION: After prolonged operation or operation
in high room temperatures, the inside of the linear
amplifier becomes hot.
DO NOT turn OFF the amplifier until the built-in
cooling fan has cooled the internal temperature.

Connection mode

The settings are for the RF input connectors ([INPUT 1]
and [INPUT 2]) that the exciter is connected to.

D Setting the exciter connection

Select how the exciters are connected to [INPUT 1]
and [INPUT 2] from the following options.
z Connect Only INPUT1
z Connect Only INPUT2
z Connect Two Exciters to INPUT1 & 2
z Connect an Exciter to INPUT1 & 2
1. Open the EXCITER screen.

2. Touch "Exciter Connection."
3. Touch the desired item.
(Example: Connect Only INPUT1)
4. Push to return to the Main screen.
