Before applying power
IMPORTANT!
U.S.A. and Canada
Units shipped to the U.S.A. and Canada are designed for operation on 120 volts AC only. These units are not equipped with an AC voltage selector switch and the discussion of such a switch that follows should be disregarded.
All other countries
Units shipped to countries other than the U.S.A., Canada are equipped with an AC voltage selector switch on the rear panel. Refer to the following paragraph for the proper setting of this switch.
AC voltage selection
This unit operates on 120 volts, 220 volts or 240 volts
AC. The AC voltage selector switch on the rear panel is set to the voltage that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped. Before connecting the power cord to your AC outlet, make sure that the setting position of this switch matches your line voltage. If not, it must be set to your voltage in accordance with the following direction.
Note:
Our warranty does not cover damage caused by excessive line voltage due to improper setting of the AC voltage selector switch.
WARNING:
TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

B. Antenna and grounding
(A) Antenna
Installation of antenna and grounding is important for optimum reception of short-wave, broadcast or amateur radio signals. A good outdoor antenna will provide the best results.
Caution:
Protect your Equipment Use a LIGHTNING ARRESTOR.
Note:
A simple method is to install the wire antenna as high as possible, it must be extended to its full length for good results.
ANT 1: UHF coaxial antenna connector
Use a low impedance antenna. The antenna feeder should be a coaxial cable equipped with a
PL-259 connector.
ANT 2: 500-ohm antenna terminal
Connect a high impedance antenna such as a long wire antenna.
50-ohm antenna terminai
Connect a low impedance antenna.
Note:
To connect both 500-ohm and 50-ohm antenna terminals at the same time may cause the receiving sensitivity worse.
C. External speaker
The R-5000 includes a built-in speaker. If you would like to use an external speaker, such as the SP-430, it may be connected to the EXT SP jack on the rear of the radio. The speaker may be any good 8 ohm permanent magnet type speaker. The diameter should be at least 4 inches for
A. Headphones
Any low-impedance (4 - 16 ohms) headphones may be used with the R-5000. Connect the headphones to the front-panel phone jack.
The optional HS-5 or HS-6 headphones are best suited for use with the R-5000. Stereo type headphones can also be used.
VHF ANT connector (Optional VC-20 VHF Converter is required for VHF reception.)
When an outdoor antenna is used the antenna feeder should be a coaxial cable equipped with a UHF connector.
Caution:
The VC-20 VHF Converter Unit should be installed by qualified service personnel to prevent personal injury or damage to the equipment.
(B) Grounding
Making a good earth connection is important for preventing dangers such as electric shock. Bury a commercially available ground rod or copper plate under the ground and connect it to the GND terminal. A thick wire, cut as short as possible, should be used for the connection. To make a good earth connection, connect the GND terminal to a grounded metal water pipe.
Caution:
Never use a gas pipe or electrical conduit pipe.
Note:
A city water pipe cannot be used as a good earth in some cases.
good audio quality. If you plan on using a speaker other than the SP-430 it should be equipped with a miniature phone jack plug.
The internal speaker is disabled when the external speaker plug is inserted into the receptacle.
B. Tape recorder
This terminal may be used for recording broadcasts on tape. Connect it to the LINE IN jack of your tape recorder. The output level at this terminal is constant, regardless on the AF gain control setting.

3-2-3. Connecting the R-5000 with a transmitter or transceiver
1.Ground the REMOTE connector pin (pin 7) to mute the R-5000 audio during transmission.
REMOTE connector
The open-circuit voltage at pin 7 is about +4.8 VDC; the short circuit current is about 0.4 mA DC.
2.Connect the antenna to the R-5000 via the transmitter or transceiver antenna switching relay. If you are using a receive-only antenna, disconnect it from the R-5000 while transmitting.
Cautions:
1.Failure to disconnect the antenna from the R-5000 when transmitting on a seperate transmitter/ transceiver will result in damage to the R-5000.
2.Do not apply AC voltage to the REMOTE connector.
