Turning The Transceiver On - Yaesu FTDX9000 - DATA MANAGEMENT Operation Manual

P R
LEASE
When turning on the transceiver for the first time, please set the local time as soon as possible. If this is not
done, the various functions of the World Clock and Great Circle Map will not function correctly.
Note: If you wish to add a city to the City List that was programmed at the factory, you will need to supply your
own USB or PS/2 Keyboard. If you utilize one of the pre-loaded cities, a keyboard is not necessary.
You may also set up the local time for other locations, without a keyboard, using the cities that have been pre-
loaded at the factory.
When using the FT 9000MP, please note that there are two power switches that must be turned on in order

for the transceiver to operate. One power switch is on the top case of the FPS-9000H Power Supply (on the
contest version, it is on the right side of the rear panel), and this switch must be turned on before pressing the
power switch on the front panel of the transceiver. For interconnection information for the FT
the FPS-9000H, please see page 14 of the FT

2. Turning the Transceiver On

To turn the transceiver on, first
press the Power switch on the
top panel of the FPS-9000H
(so that the "I I I I I " side is pressed
downward).
In the case of the FT
Contest, the power supply
Power switch is on the right
side of the rear panel; just as
with the FPS-9000H, press
this switch so that the "I I I I I " side
is pressed in.

POWER switch to turn the
transceiver on.
Note: The opening screen will
appear on the after-market moni-
tor to the DISPLAY, and the self-
check function of the CPU inside
the radio will begin. Then, the μ-
Tuning circuitry will receive the
data from the CPU, and it will per-
form its own self-check, and will preset itself to the
proper settings for the current operating frequency.
While the μ-Tuning circuitry is obtaining the data, the
drive mechanism will move from one end of its range
to the other end (fast), and this will cause a tempo-
rary "motor" noise that can be heard; this, does not
represent any trouble or problem.
When the radio is turned on for the first time, it takes
about 50 seconds (from turning the radio on to com-
pleting the self- check) until the radio becomes ready
to use; however, from the next time you turn it on, it
will take around 10 seconds until the transceiver is
ready for full operation.

: When the optional μ-TUNE units are installed, you
may notice the sound of a small motor running
inside the transceiver. This is completely normal;
it is the sound of the μ-TUNE motors presetting
themselves.
3. Local Time-1 Setup
If you press and hold in the [ ENT ] key (at the up-
per side of the NOTCH knob) for more than two
seconds, white letters will appear at the bottom
of the screen to indicate various functions, and
the [ BAND ] keys will act as "Function" keys.
On the after-market monitor, there should be a
World Map displayed; if the World Map does not
appear, find the [ 8/21 ]( Display ) key the left of the
[ ENT ] key; press this key as many times as re-
quired to get the World Map to display on the af-
ter-market monitor.
Below the LCD display of the transceiver, press
the [ 1/1.8 ]( SET ) key; the monitor should now
show LOCAL TIME -1; this setting has been pre-
set for Japanese time at the factory.
