When you turn on the FT-2900R, the current DC supply voltage is indicated on the
LCD for 2 seconds. After this interval, the display will switch its normal indication
of the operating frequency.

To turn the transceiver off, again press and hold in the PWR key for one second.
R.F. Says: You can change the Opening Message (DC supply voltage indication) to any
desired message (up to 6 characters) via Set Mode Item "31 OPN.MSG;" see page xx
for details.
Adjusting the Audio Volume Level
Rotate the VOL control to adjust the receiver volume. Clockwise rotation increases the
audio output level.
Adjusting the Squelch Setting
Rotate the SQL control just to the point where the noise is silenced and the "BUSY"
indicator on the display turns off. If the SQL control is set further clockwise, sensitivity
to weak signals is reduced.
A special "RF Squelch" feature is provided on this radio. This feature allows you to set
the squelch so that only signals exceeding a certain S-meter level will open the squelch.

Frequency Navigation
1) Tuning Dial
Rotating the DIAL knob allows tuning in the pre-programmed steps. Clockwise
rotation of the DIAL knob causes the FT-2900R to be tuned toward a higher frequency,
while counter-clockwise rotation will lower the operating frequency.
Press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob, to change the
frequency steps to 1 MHz per step. This feature is extremely useful for making rapid
frequency excursions over the wide tuning range of the FT-2900R. Instead of pressing
the [MHz(SET)] button, you may also press the [A] key on the Microphone's keypad to
engage tuning in 1 MHz steps.
2) Direct Keypad Frequency Entry
The keypad of the MH-48A6J DTMF Microphone may be used for direct entry of the
operating frequency.
To enter a frequency from the MH-48A6J keypad, just press the numbered digits in the
proper sequence. There is no "decimal point" key on the MH-48A6J keypad. However,
