■ Transmitting
CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna will damage the
transceiver.

amateur band is selected as the MAIN band.
Holddown[LOW] w for 1 second to select the transmit
output power between S-Low, Low1, Low2, Mid and High
to suit your operating requirements.

Release [PTT] to re- r
ceive.
R WARNING! NEVER transmit for long periods of time.
During prolonged transmissions at high power or mid pow-
er, the transceiver radiates heat to protect itself from over-
heating. The transceiver’s chassis will become hot and may
cause a burn.
•To preventthetransceiver’soverheating,thedefaultset-
ting of the time-out timer function is set to 5 minutes (p.
27). Be careful when the time-out timer function is turned
OFF or set to a long time period, and you transmit for long
periods.
DO NOT operate the transceiver in a situation that will ob-
struct heat dissipation, especially if the transceiver uses an
external power supply. Heat dissipation may be affected,
and it may cause a burn, warp the casing or damage the
transceiver.
NOTE: When the transceiver becomes hot, the transceiver’s
heat protection function gradually reduces the output power
to approximately 2.5 watts, then it stops transmission after
that. This is done to protect the transceiver itself until it can
cool down.
CONNECT to only the rated voltage range when using an
external power supply.
