W Unpacking
After unpacking, immediately report any damage or `
missing items to the delivering carrier or dealer.
Keep the shipping cartons.
For a description and a diagram of accessory equip-
ment included with the transceiver, see UNPACKING
on the inside front page (p. i) of this manual.
W Selecting a location
OPERATING ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
The rubber feet on the bottom of the transceiver
provides two operating angles.
Mi Grounding
To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other prob-
lems, ground the transceiver through the GROUND
terminal on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap
to a long earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance
between the GROUND terminal and ground as short
as possible.

ANTENNA SWR
Each antenna is tuned for a specified frequency
range and SWR may be increased out-of-range.
When the SWR is higher than approx. 2.0 : 1, the
transceiver's power drops to protect the final FET.
In this case, an antenna tuner is useful to match the
transceiver and antenna.
Low SWR
allows full
power for transmitting even when using the anten-
na tuner. The IC-775/DSP has an SWR meter to
monitor the antenna SWR continuously.
