This button selects the squelch (receiver mute) mode. When the
indicator is off, tone (or coded) squelch is active. When the indica­tor glows steadily (after pressing this button momentarily or re­moving the microphone from its hanger), only noise squelch is
active, and any signal will be heard. Holding this button for two
seconds disables all squelch, and the yellow indicator blinks. If the
indicator is blinking, press this button once to return the previous
squelch mode, and again to select the other mode.

Installation

Normally, your Yaesu Dealer will provide complete installation
of all stations in your system. However, basic installation informa­tion is provided here for your reference.

For mobile service, your transceiver should be installed so the
controls, indicators and microphone are easily accessible for opera­tion and viewing, without interfering with road vision, and so that
the loudspeaker may be easily heard. The radio may be installed in
any position without loss of performance. Typical locations are
beneath the dashboard or atop the transmission tunnel in small
vehicles, or overhead in a truck cabin.

The

Mounting

Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the locations of
the mounting holes in the desired position. Use a
ter bit to drill the holes after making certain that there will be
enough space for the transceiver, connecting cables and con-

trols. Secure the bracket with the screws, washers and nuts

supplied, as shown in the drawing on the next page.

Position the transceiver in the bracket so that the holes in the
side panels are aligned with those in the sides of the bracket, and
bolt the transceiver into place with the supplied short screws
and flat washers.

The microphone hanger must be installed so as to make electri­cal contact with the car body. Otherwise the hanger may be
installed wherever convenient.

Operating Manual

Base Station Installation

The FP-711 AC Power Supply can operate the transceiver from a

variety of AC voltages. Connect the fused DC Cable supplied with

the transceiver to the terminals on the rear of the

FP-711.

NOTE:

In all installations, means must be provided to ground the

metal mounting loop on the microphone in order for the squelch

scanning/monitoring systems to function. In base installa-

and
tions, a grounding hook must be provided in which to rest the
microphone when not transmitting.

Power Connections

For mobile installations, connect the power cable directly to the
vehicle battery. This allows the radio to operate without turning on
the ignition, and may also reduce noise in the receiver. Connection

Maintenance And Service

Keep the outside of the transceiver clean by wiping with a soft
cloth as necessary. Avoid rain or immersion in water, and protect
the radio from dust as much as possible. Do not open the case. If the
radio fails to operate, check the cable connections, and inspect the

fuses in the

Regular Maintenance Plan

Your Yaesu dealer will advise you of the maintenance plan that
best suits your needs. We recommend that the transceiver be re­turned to your Yaesu dealer at least once every two years, for
testing of receiving sensitivity and transmitter power output. If the
need for servicing does arise, phone your Yaesu dealer for an
appointment.

your radio is back in service as quickly as possible.
