POWER Switch
Press and hold in this switch for one second to turn the
transceiver on. Similarly, press and hold in this switch
for one second to turn the transceiver off. (The FP-
2000's [ POWER ] switch must also be set to on "I"
before this switch will function.)

DVICE
The main power switch for the system is located
on the front panel of the FP-2000 Power Supply.
When the FP-2000 main power switch is pushed
down on the "I" side, the FP-2000 is turned on,
and the FT-2000D is placed in the "standby" state.
If the FP-2000 main power switch is not turned
on, it is not possible to turn on the FT-2000D trans-
ceiver. For more details about the main power
switch location on the FP-2000, please see the dis-
cussion on page 34.
If you press this switch momentarily while the trans-
ceiver is turned on, the transceiver's audio will be
muted for three seconds.
MOX Switch
Pressing this button engages the PTT (Push to Talk) cir-
cuit, to activate the transmitter (the LED inside this but-
ton will glow red). It must be turned off (the red LED
will be off) for reception. This button replicates the ac-
tion of the Push to Talk (PTT) switch on the microphone.
When engaging the [ MOX ] button (the LED inside this
button glows red) or otherwise causing a transmission to
be started, be certain you have either an antenna or 50-
Ohm dummy load connected to the selected Antenna jack.

TUNE Switch
This is the on/off switch for the FT-2000D's Auto-
matic Antenna Tuner.
Pressing this button momentarily places the antenna
tuner in line between the transmitter final amplifier and
the antenna jack (" " icon will appear in the dis-
play). Reception is not affected.
Pressing and holding in this button for 1/2 second, while
receiving in an amateur band, activates the transmitter
for a few seconds while the automatic antenna tuner
rematches the antenna system impedance for minimum
SWR. The resulting setting is automatically stored in
one of the antenna tuner's 100 memories, for instant
automatic recall later when the receiver is tuned near
the same frequency.
Pressing this button momentarily, while the Tuner is
engaged, will take the Automatic Antenna tuner out of
the transmit line.

OTE
When the Automatic Antenna Tuner is tuning itself, a
signal is being transmitted. Therefore, be absolutely
certain that an antenna or dummy load is connected to
the selected antenna jack before pressing and holding
in the [ TUNE ] button to start antenna tuning.
