If you suspect malfunction
The transceiver does not turn on.
Is the battery is depleted?
Charge the battery pack after purchase, and when the transceiver has not been used for a long time.
Is the battery pack properly set?
Refer to "Mounting the battery pack" and securely mount the battery pack.
Is the external power supply properly connected?
When using a external power supply, connect an external power supply adapter with a cigarette lighter
plug (E-DC-5B) or an external power cable (E-DC-6) to this jack.
Is the voltage of the battery pack or the E-DC-5B correct?
Be sure that there is a charge left in the battery pack (do not completely discharge). Check that the
output voltage of the E-DC-5B is approximately 12V.
There is no sound
Is the level of squelch (or S meter squelch) set too high?
Press the Monitor Switch and check that you can hear white noise.
Adjust the level of squelch (or S meter squelch) when receiving a weak signal.
Is the volume low?
Turn O clockwise while pressing v to increase the sound volume.
Is the tone squelch or DCS on?
When the tone squelch or DCS is on, the sound is not output until the transceiver receives a signal
containing the same tone frequency or DCS code set.
There is no transmission of radio waves.
Are you pressing the p switch properly?
Is the PTT lock on?
Is the Busy TX Block (BCLO function) on?
When the Busy TX Block (BCLO Function) is on, transmission cannot be done when receiving a signal
even if p is pressed. Wait until signal being received stops and then press p.
Is the transmission frequency on an ham radio band?
Transmission cannot be performed on the AM Radio Broadcast Band/ Short Wave Radio Band/ FM
Radio Broadcast Band/ Air Band/ Information Radio Band.
Is the voltage of the battery pack or external power source correct?
Check the remaining charge on the battery pack.
In addition, using a power supply where voltage drops during transmission will prevent the FT1DR/DE
from operating on full capability.
The keys or O does not respond.
Is the Key Lock or DIAL Lock on?
Check the following items before requesting for repair.
