• If the speciﬁ ed item is not displayed, touch [Y] or [Z](D)

one or more times to select the page.

Touch the desired option to e select the desired band edge warning beep setting, or to turn OFF the func- tion.

• OFF: Band edge beep is OFF.

• ON (Default): When you tune into or out of the default

amateur band’s frequency range, a beep sounds. (default)

• ON (User): When you tune into or out of a user pro-

grammed amateur band’s frequency range, a beep sounds.

• ON (User) & TX Limit:

When you tune into or out of a user pro-

grammed amateur band’s frequency range, a beep sounds. Also transmission is inhib- ited outside the programmed range.

✔ What is the RIT function?

The RIT (Receiver Incremental Tuning) shifts the re- ceive frequency without shifting the transmit frequency. This is useful for ﬁne tuning stations calling you off-fre- quency, or when you prefer to listen to slightly different- sounding voice characteristics.

When the SEND terminal controls the inductive load (such as a relay), a counter-electromotive force can cause

the transceiver’s malfunction or damage. To prevent this, we recommend adding a switching diode, such as an “1SS133,” on the load side of the circuit to the counter-electromotive force absorption.

When the diode is added, a switching delay of the relay may occur. Be sure to check its switching action before

operation.

VSEND is used for the 144 MHz and 430 MHz bands, and HSEND is used for the HF, 50/70 MHz bands by default.

D Installing the transceiver in a vehicle

To prevent electrical shock, television interference (TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other problems, ground the transceiver using the GROUND terminal on the rear panel. For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap to a long ground rod. Make the distance between the [GND] terminal and ground as short as possible.

R WARNING!฀NEVER connect the [GND] termi-

nal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection could cause an explosion or electric shock.
