Please follow the outline in the illustration regarding the proper connection of antenna coaxial cables, as well as the DC
power cable. The DC power connector for the FT
(±10 %), and capable of at least 23 Amperes of current. Always observe proper polarity when making DC connection:
The RED DC power lead connects to the Positive (+) DC terminal.
The BLACK DC power lead connects to the Negative (–) DC terminal.
To prevent damage from
lightning, atmospheric elec-
tricity, electrical shock etc., please
provide a good earth ground.

We recommend the use of the FP-1030A (USA market only) AC Power Supply. Other models of power supplies may
be used with the FT 3000, but the 13.8 VDC input voltage, 23 Ampere current capability, and DC cable polarity

guidelines described above must be strictly followed.
Note that other manufacturers may use the same type of DC power connections as does your FT
however, the wiring configuration may be different from that specified for your transceiver. Serious damage can be
caused if improper DC connections are made; consult with a qualified service technician when in doubt.
The 100 V RF voltage (@100 W/50-ohm) is applied to the TX RF section of the transceiver while transmitting.
Do not touch the TX RF section absolutely while transmitting.
Permanent damage can result when improper supply voltage, or reverse-polarity voltage, is applied to the
3000. The Limited Warranty on this transceiver does not cover damage caused by application of AC volt-

 To minimize the possibility of interference to home entertainment devices, take all precautionary steps including
separation of TV/FM antennas from Amateur transmitting antennas to the greatest extent possible, and keep trans-
mitting coaxial cables separated from cables connected to home entertainment devices.
 Ensure that the DC power cord is not subject to undue stress or bending, which could damage the cable or cause it to
be accidentally unplugged from the rear panel DC IN jack.
 Be certain to install your transmitting antenna(s) so they cannot possibly come in contact with TV/FM radio or other
antennas, or with power or telephone lines.
