Battery: 8 * AA Alkaline Battery
Power Consumption: <= 160mA

External Connectors:

•

Buttons:

• Power Button (PWR)

• Frequency Up Button (UP)

•

Frequency Down Button (DOWN)

•

Selection Function Button (SELECT)

• Quick Button (QUICK)

Power On:

1. Tap the PWR button. The first screen shows the modal number AW06A and the designer’s
amateur radio call sign.

2. Press SELECT button to continue the operation with the LCD backlight, press any other
buttons will turn off the LCD backlight.

Field Test:

1. Press QUICK button to start a field radio strength test.

2. The antenna analyzer will turn off the local PLL and measure the radio signal strength on the
RF socket. A fake SWR will be shown on the LCD, ideally the value is 1 which means no
significant interference is detected from the RF socket. Practically, the interference is
acceptable if the fake SWR is less than 2.

3. Press SELECT button to go back to the power on idle screen.

SWR Measurement:

1. Press SELECT button from idle screen to start SWR measurement.

2. Press UP and DOWN button to set the start frequency, which is the lowest frequency of
automatic scanning range. Push the SCAN button at the same time with UP or DOWN button

will increase the frequency changing speed.

3. Press SELECT button to accept the start frequency.

4. Press UP and DOWN button to set the stop frequency, which is the highest frequency of
automatic scanning range. Push the SCAN button at the same time with UP or DOWN button
will increase the frequency changing speed.

5. Press SELECT button to start frequency scanning.

6. The AW06A SWR Analyzer will then scan the entire frequency range set above and stop on
the frequency with the lowest SWR. The LCD will show the frequency, SWR and the
impedance.

7. Tap QUICK button while the Analyzer scanning will stop the scan procedure then display the
SWR and impedance on the stopped frequency.

8. Tap SCAN button again to enter manual scan mode, the ‘A ’ character on the right bottom
corner will disappear and you are able to change the measurement frequency by pushing UP
and DOWN buttons.

9. Press SELECT button if you want to go back to the automatic scan mode.
