Connecting And Selecting The Microphone; Extending The Front Feet - Yaesu FTDX-9000MP Operation Manual

3. Connecting and Selecting the Microphone

The FT 9000MP comes equipped with two microphone connectors: the front panel includes a "Cannon" (XLR) three-
pin connector, while the rear panel provides an eight-pin (round) connector.
As shipped from the factory, the front panel XLR connector is engaged for operation, and the rear panel 8-pin microphone
jack is not connected. If you wish to enable the 8-pin connector instead of the XLR connector, use the Menu to accomplish
this. Note that you may leave microphones connected to both jacks, and may select the microphone you want for operation
on a particular operating mode (SSB, AM, FM, etc.), as well!
Ì Press the MNU (Menu) key momentarily to enter
the Menu Mode.
Ì Rotate the Main Tuning Dial to select Menu Item
#069, located within the "MODE SSB" group: SSB
MIC SELECT.
Ì Rotate the CLAR/VFO-B knob to change the set-
ting of Menu #069 from "FRONT" to "REAR."
Ì Press and hold in the MNU (Menu) key for two sec-
onds to save the new setting and exit to normal opera-
tion.
Ì In a similar manner, you may use Menu #040 (AM
MIC SEL) in the MODE-AM Menu Group to select
the microphone jack to be used during AM operation,
and Menu #059 (FM MIC SEL) in the MODE-FM
Menu Group to select the microphone to be used dur-
ing FM transmission.

4. Extending the Front Feet

In order to elevate the front panel for easy viewing, the front left and right feet of the bottom case may be extended.
Ì Pull the front legs outward from the bottom panel.
Ì Rotate the legs counter-clockwise to lock them in the
extended position. Be sure the legs have locked se-
curely in place, because the transceiver is quite heavy
and an unlocked leg could result in damage, should
the transceiver move suddenly.
Retracting the Front Feet
Ì Rotate the legs clockwise, and push them inward while
rotating to the right.
Ì The front feel should now be locked in the retracted
position.
