MOX Switch
Pressing this button engages the PTT (Push to Talk)
circuit, to activate the transmitter. It must be in the
undepressed position for reception. This switch repli-
cates the action of the Push to Talk (PTT) switch on
the microphone. When engaging the [ MOX ] switch,
or otherwise causing a transmission to be started, be
certain you have either an antenna or 50-Ohm dummy
load connected to the selected Antenna jack.
VOX Switch
VOX Operation: This button enables automatic voice-
actuated transmitter switching in the SSB, AM, and
FM modes. While activated, the LED inside this but-
ton glows red. The controls affecting VOX operation
are the front panel's [ VOX ] and [ DELAY ] knobs (see
section ( ) below. By proper adjustment of these
controls, hands-free voice-actuated operation is pos-
sible.
DIM Switch
Press this button to lower the illumination intensity of
the analog meters, the frequency display, and the TFT.
Press it once more to restore full brightness.

Menu Items "DISPLAY 014 DIMMER-METER"
and "DISPLAY 015 DIMMER-VFD" allow you to
configure the dimming levels for the analog meters
and the frequency display/LCD independently, so you
can customize the brightness levels.

PHONES Jack
A 1/4-inch, 3-contact jack accepts either monaural or
stereo headphones with 2- or 3-contact plugs. When a
plug is inserted, the loudspeaker is disabled. With ste-
reo headphones such as the optional YH-77STA, you
can monitor both Main (VFO-A) and Sub (VFO-B)
receiver channels at the same time during Dual Re-
ceive operation.

When wearing headphones, we recommend that you
turn the AF Gain levels down to their lowest settings
before turning power on, to minimize the impact on
your hearing caused by audio "pops" during switch-
on.

POWER Switch

Press and hold in this switch for two seconds to turn
the transceiver on, after first setting the FPS-9000H's
Power switch to the "I" position. Press and hold in
this switch for two seconds, similarly, to turn the trans-
ceiver off. If the FPS-9000H's Power switch is set to
the "O" position, the front panel [ POWER ] switch
will not function.

The main power switch for the system is located on
the top cover of the FPS-9000H Power Supply/
Speaker. When the main power switch is pushed down
on the "I" side, the FPS-9000H is turned on, and the
FT 9000MP is placed in the "standby" state. If the
DX
FPS-9000H main power switch is not pressed in this
manner, it is not possible to turn on the transceiver.
For more details about the main power switch loca-
tion on the FPS-9000H, please see the discussion on
page 40.
