  • Page 13: Operation

    Operation descriptions, keep the • FT-411 Operator’s Quick Reference Card” handy in case Ⅱ you need to refresh your memory. RELIMINARY PERATING NFORMATION Before operating the transceiver for the first time, charge the battery pack completely (if using Ni-Cd batteries) as described on pages 8 and 9. If using the FBA-17 battery case, install the batteries as described on page 8.

  • Page 14: Important Keypad Information

    Operation MPORTANT EYPAD NFORMATION If the keypad beeper is enabled, each key on the keypad produces its own beep (or combi- nation) when the key action is accepted. If you don’t hear a beep when a key is pressed, either the volume is set too low, or the keystroke was not accepted. During transmission, key tones are the DTMF tone pairs (which are also transmitted).

  • Page 15: Vfo Frequency & Step Selection

    Operation VFO F & S REQUENCY ELECTION Make sure the keypad is unlocked, and press the [PRI(VFO)] button, if necessary, to select the VFO mode (see box below). The FT-411 has two vfos, labelled “A” and “B”, either Ⅱ of which can be used for all of the procedures described in this manual. You can change vfos with the [PRI(VFO)] button at any time, allowing one to serve as a 50th memory.

  • Page 16: Transmitting

    Operation RANSMITTING Press [F/M] and then [LOW(3)] to toggle between high and low power output. The pitch of the keypad beeper will indicate whether high or low power is being selected, and “LOW” is displayed above the 1 MHz digit when low power is selected (we recommend using low power whenever possible to minimize possible interference to other stations and prolong battery life).

  • Page 17: Changing The Standard Repeater Shift

    Operation once for minus shift, or twice for plus shift (“–” or “+” displayed above the 10 kHz fre- quency digit). When you press the PTT switch to transmit (or [F/M] and [REV(9)] to reverse transmit and receive frequencies), the display will shift down or up by the pro- grammed offset, if in band (or else ‘Err’...

  • Page 18: Memory Storage

    Operation EMORY TORAGE The FT-411 offers forty-six general purpose memories, numbered 1 through 46, and Ⅱ three special memories, labelled C, L and U. All of these memories can store separate receive and transmit frequencies or repeater shift, and tone squelch data (if the optional FTS-17A is installed).

  • Page 19: Hiding And Erasing Memories

    Operation You can retune a selected memory by pressing the [SKIP(MR)] key: a dotted underline (..) appears under the channel box at the upper left, and you can tune the displayed memory frequency in the same ways as described for the vfos. If you want to store the new ‚...

  • Page 20: Scanning

    Operation CANNING Before starting the scanner, make sure the SQL control is set to squelch off the noise on a clear channel. Scanning is activated and deactivated by the [ p ] / [ q ] keys. Just press and hold either key for more than ½-second to start the scanner.

  • Page 21: Priority Channel Monitoring

    Operation To cancel PMS operation, stop scanning, if necessary (DIAL knob, [ p ] / [ q ] keys or PTT), and press the [SKIP(MR)] key to return to regular memory operation, or the [PRI(VFO)] key to return to VFO mode. RIORITY HANNEL ONITORING...

  • Page 22: Tone Squelch/Pager Operation

    Operation QUELCH AGER PERATION The FT-411 can be used to silently monitor for calls on busy channels, and to transmit Ⅱ CTCSS tones, when the optional FTS-17A Tone Squelch Unit is installed. The transmit (encode) function superimposes a subaudible tone (at a frequency too low to be heard) on the transmitted carrier, while the decode function monitors receiver audio through a narrow filter at the same subaudible frequency, keeping the squelch closed until a matching tone is received.

  • Page 23: Power Saver

    Operation OWER AVER The Power Saver allows the transceiver to monitor a frequency for activity while drawing as much as 400% less current than is required for normal squelched reception. This is done by removing power from all circuits (except a timer and the display) for programmable intervals.

  • Page 24: Apo (Automatic Power-Off)

    Operation APO (A UTOMATIC OWER This feature automatically puts the transceiver to sleep if the keypad/DIAL knob, PTT or [CALL/DTMF] buttons are not used for a selectable period of 10, 20 or 30 minutes. One minute before going to sleep, a warning melody will sound ( ), and the APO clock icon will begin to blink.

  • Page 25: System Reset

    Operation To store a DTMF memory: • Activate the DTMF memory mode as just described. ‚ Press and hold the [F/M] key for ½-second (until the second beep sounds). ƒ ‚ Within 5 seconds of step , press a numbered key corresponding to the DTMF memory number you want to store.

  • Page 26: In Case Of Problems

    In Case of Problem The basic features of this transceiver are not complicated, but it is still possible to get lost, at least until you have had the chance to learn all of the functions of the keypad and display. If the display shows nothing at all, check the power switch (VOL control), and if necessary, remove the battery pack and check that the contacts are clean.

  • Page 27: Data Cloning

    DATA Cloning It is possible to copy all of the stored data from one transceiver to another (both must be FT-411 ’s, of course) without having to re-enter everything from the keypad. To do Ⅱ this, you will need to construct a cable with two 2.5 mm micro phone plugs, and follow the procedure here: •...
