Note: The TUNE LED goes off when the RX level goes below a certain level or the equipment is
not receiving. Even if the TUNE LED goes off, the equipment records the fax signal as long as the
S/N ratio is suitable. Therefore, this is not a sign of TUNE LED trouble or equipment malfunction.

below.
Dead sector (can be white)
To adj ust ph asi n g, use th e
W or X key. Press W to shift leftward; X to shif t rightwa rd. Each pre ss

lit. When a signal from a stat ion with ISB communicatio n (U.S. Naval Station Guam, Pearl Harb or,
San Francisco, etc.) is received, sometimes an adjustment of the frequency is necessary, with a
variable condenser, beca use the frequency may shift fr om the nominal frequency of the station by
±2 kHz.
Bandwidth
Increase bandwidth when noise is few, and lower bandwidth by about 1 kHz when noise is great.
Recording
Set up for recording referring to paragraph 1.6 (automatic) or paragraph 1.7 (manual). For reverse
reception, set the mode on the external receiver to BFO (Beat Frequency Oscillator), or switch
between LSB (Lower Sideband) and USB (Upper Sideband).

WARNING
Do not open the equipment except to
replace paper.
Only qualified personnel should work
inside the equipment.
Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant
or contact spray to coating or plastic
parts of the equipment.
Those items contain organic solvents that
can damage coating and plastic parts,
especially plastic connectors.
NOTICE
2.1Cleaning
Dust and dirt may be removed from the main unit with a soft cloth . For stubborn dirt, wate r diluted
mild detergent may be used. DO NOT use chemical-based cleane rs to clean the cabinet or control
panel, as they can remove paint and markings.
Random lines or dots appear on the recording when the thermal head is dirty. Clean t he thermal
head as shown in the procedure below, using the head cleaning sheet (#2000, supplied) and
paper sensor jig, an ordinary white piece of paper cut and folded to the dimensi ons shown below.

3. Push the paper release lever downward and detach roll paper.
4. With the longer end of the p aper sensor jig u p, set it to t he paper feed slot as shown i n the illus-
tration on the next page. Confirm that the paper sensor jig is touching the paper stopper.
5. With the shiny side of the head cleani ng sheet u p, insert it above the p aper sensor jig and con-

Note: Do not use the head cleaning sheet more than once per cleaning session and do not use a
sheet whose grade is co ars er than #20 00. A coarser grade w ill damage the therma l head.

If the rec ording is still dirty
Turn off the power. Moisten a cotton swab with ethyl alcohol and insert between the thermal head
and rubber roller, until about 4 mm of the swab is inserted. Move the swab to clean. USE ONLY
ethyl alcohol to clean.
Use only a slight amount of ethyl alcohol. Excessive amount may dissolve corrosive components
in printing chaf f, which can damage the the rmal head. Fur ther, be sure the alcohol has dri ed completely be f ore turning o n t he power.
2.2Replacement of Recording Paper
Use only the recording paper specified by FURUNO. Use of other recording paper may degrade
perform ance, damage the thermal hea d and prevent detect ion of "pape r out".
When the paper is nearly out, the message PAPER OUT!! appears on the display and recording
is automatically stopped. When about 3 m of paper remains, a red line of 2-3 mm in width begins
to appear on the paper. When this happens, replace the paper as shown in the procedure on the
next pa ge.

2.5Clearing the RAM
The RAM stores frequency data of fax transmitting stations throughout the world. If part of the
RAM was deleted in e rror, th e data fo r fax tr ansmittin g stat ions can be retriev ed fro m the ROM. In
this case it is necessary to clear the RAM. Be sure that it is all right to clear the RAM as all data
(frequency, etc.) stored there will be deleted.
1. Pres s t he PRG key followed by the 9 key.

2. Pres s t he E key to clear the RAM.
3. Pres s t he C key to return to the standby display.Note: Do not confuse RAM erro r with keyboard lockup. The keyboard may loc k if some abnor mal

3.1Main Unit
The main unit may be mounted on a tabletop or a bulkhead, using 5×25 self-tapping screws (supplied).
When choosing a mounting location, consider the following points:
• It is essential that the mounting surface is fl at, otherwise blurred record ings may result, a s in the
example below . If it is n ecessary to level th e unit, insert fla t washer ( supplied) b etween unit and
mount ing surface a t ap propriate location(s ).
Self-tapping screw
Flat washer
• Locate th e unit out of dire c t su nlight becaus e of heat that can build up inside the cabinet .
• For bulk head moun ting, be sure the mount ing locati on is s tr ong enough to support th e unit
under the vibration normally encountered on board the vessel.
• Choos e a location wh ere vibration and shoc k are minim al.
• Choos e a location wh ere the cont rol panel can be easily operated.
• L eave sufficient space around the unit for servicing and maintenance. Refer to the outline
drawing for recommended maintenance space.
• L ocate the unit away from areas subject to water splash and rain.
• A magnetic compass will be disturbed if the unit is placed too close to it. Separate the unit from
a magnet ic c om pass by the dis ta nc e noted on page iii to prevent interfe rence to the c ompass.

3.2Antenna
The performance of the facsi mile receiver is directl y related to the ante nna installati on. In general,
the antenna should be installed as high as possible on the vessel, free from the influence of nearby
antennas, rigging and masts. Be sure to locate the antenna well away from TX antennas and noise
generating equipment. Pay particular attention to the antennas of MF and HF radio equipment they ca n damage the facs imile re ceiv er thro ugh induc tion . (For bet ter pr otect ion agai nst in ductio n,
use the pr eamp unit .)
The FAX-408 can use the following antennas:
• Preamp unit FAX-5 (option al s upply) + 2.6 m w hip antenna (option al s upply)
• Whip antenna (6 m, option al supply)
• Wire ant enna (local supply)

3.2.2Whip or wire antenn a
• Either a long wire or whip antenna may be used. A wire antenna should be 10 meters or longer
including the vertical section. A whip antenna should be 6 meters long. Generally a whip
antenn a i s sui t ab le f or re ce pti o n ov er 6 MHz an d wi re ant enna is s uit a bl e f or re cep ti o n unde r 6
MHz.
• Th e antenna can be shared with other receivers; use an antenna switch.
• If, when using a wire antenna, sensitivity is low, install the preamp unit (option).
3.2.3Installation of optional preamp unit (FAX-5)
Small boats may not afford the space to install a long wire
antenna. In this case it is recommended to install the preamp
unit with 2. 6 m eter whip antenna. Th e preamp un it ca n be
installed two ways:
• Th e base of the preamp unit is designed to accept a
thread ed ext en si on of one- i nch diame te r. The pitch of th e
thread should be 14 threads per inch. The mast itself
should be no longer t han 1.5 me t ers t o pre v ent flexing in
heavy winds.
• A ttach the preamp unit to a mounting post with stainless
steel hose clamps (option).
Mounting
1. Fix the preamp unit to the mounting location.
2. Screw the whip antenna onto the preamp unit.
3. If the mast is metallic, run a ground wire (local supply)
between the mast and the ground terminal on the preamp
unit.
4. Waterproof the junction and other exposed metallic parts
with silicone sealant.
5. Connect its coaxial cable directly to the antenna con-
nector on the FAX-408. Note that an extension cable kit
(opti on) is avai lab le, in leng ths of 10, 20 , 30, 40 and 50 m.

External receiver connection
An external receive r may be used in place of the internal receiver. In t his case, the receiver should
have a local oscillator with very good frequency stability. Connect the external receiver to the EXT
AF IN terminal at the rear of the set . Th is te rm inal operat es against an input of great er than
50 mV. Excessive input is protected with a protective circuit. However, if direct current is used,
input should be passed through a non-polarized capacitor of about 1 µF.
