The 7 steps given here will get you on the air
in your first QSO right away. So, you can
enjoy the exhilaration that comes with
opening a brand new transceiver.

When received signals are too weak to recognize,
press and hold

however, also hear background noise.
FIRST QSO
CAUTION:
◆
THE RECOMMENDED DUTY CYCLE IS
1 MINUTE OF TRANSMISSION AND
3 MINUTES OF RECEPTION. LONGER
TRANSMISSIONS OR EXTENDED
OPERATION IN THE HIGH POWER MODE
MAY CAUSE THE BACK OF THE
TRANSCEIVER TO GET HOT.
◆
TRANSMITTING WITH THE SUPPLIED
ANTENNA NEAR OTHER ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT CAN INTERFERE WITH THAT
EQUIPMENT. ALSO, TRANSMITTING NEAR
A REGULATED POWER SUPPLY, THAT IS
NOT RECOMMENDED BY
KENWOOD
, MAY
CAUSE THE POWER SUPPLY TO OUTPUT
AN EXTREMELY HIGH VOLTAGE. THIS
VOLTAGE COULD DAMAGE BOTH YOUR
TRANSCEIVER AND ANY OTHER
EQUIPMENT CONNECTED TO THE POWER
SUPPLY.
Note:
If input voltage exceeds approximately 18 V,
warning beeps sound and “DC ERR” appears on
the display.
