In the FT 9000 Series, a large 6.5" (800 x 480 dot) TFT is built into the FT
DX
versions. Please see the separate TFT Operation Manual for details regarding TFT operation.
The TFT is a precision-designed, advanced display unit. You may observe, inside the TFT panel, a black point, or a
luminescent point or points; these are normal, and do not indicate a defective TFT. Please note.
If you turn on the FT

There may be times when the TFT display illumination appears not to be uniform, but this is a normal condition.
This device is designed for Amateur Radio operation only. Operation on the Amateur Radio bands requires a license, in
accordance with the telecommunications statutes in your country. The discussions in this manual presume that you possess
