EXTENDING THE FRONT FEET
In order to elevate the front panel for easy viewing, the
front left and right feet of the bottom case may be extended.
 Pull the front legs outward from the bottom panel.
 Rotate the legs counter-clockwise to lock them in the
extended position. Be sure the legs have locked se-
curely in place, because the transceiver is quite heavy
and an unlocked leg could result in damage, should
the transceiver move suddenly.
ADJUSTING THE MAIN TUNING DIAL TORQUE
The torque (drag) of the Main Tuning Dial knob may be
adjusted according to your preferences. Simply hold down
the rear skirt of the knob, and while holding it in place
rotate the knob itself to the right to reduce the drag or to
the left to increase the drag. Available adjustment range is
120°.
Retracting the Front Feet
 Rotate the legs clockwise, and push them inward while
rotating to the right.
 The front feel should now be locked in the retracted
position.
