Before turning on main power, please verify the following items once more.
Have you made all ground connections securely? See page 13 for details.
Do you have your antenna(s) connected to the rear-panel Antenna jack(s)? See page 14 for details.
Is your microphone (and/or key or paddle) connected? See page 15 and 16 for details.
If using a linear amplifier, have all interconnections been successfully completed? See page 17 and 18 for details.
Please rotate both [ AF GAIN ] controls to their fully counter-clockwise positions, to avoid a loud blast of audio when
the transceiver turns on. See page 32 for details.
Rotate the [ RF PWR ] control fully counter-clockwise, to set minimum power at first. See page 32 for details.
Before attempting voice transmissions, you must be certain that the microphone you intend to use is plugged into an
"Active" microphone jack. On the front panel is a 3-pin "Cannon" (XLR) connector, and on the rear panel you'll find
a "traditional" 8-pin round connector. At the factory, the XLR connector is selected, but you may easily change this
using the Menu item designated "MODE-SSB 077 SSB MIC SELECT;" please confirm that this Menu item is
configured appropriately.

If the wrong microphone jack is selected, voice transmission will not be possible.
Once AC power is applied, please refer to the "TFT Operation Manual" and perform the setup for the Local Time. If
this setup procedure is not performed, the World Clock and Logbook functions will not operate correctly.
If your AC mains power should suffer a significant fluctuation or interruption, we recommend that you go through a
complete power-up cycle, in order to ensure that all circuits are properly initialized. To do this, be sure the front panel
Power switch is turned off, then set the rear-panel Power switch to the " O " position. Now unplug the AC cable from
the rear panel of the transceiver, and wait ten seconds. The start-up procedure is described on the next page.
