9FTM-10R OPERATING MANUAL
INSTALLATION
This chapter describes the installation procedure for integrating the FTM-10R into a typi­cal amateur radio station. It is presumed that you possess technical knowledge and concep­tual understanding consistent with your status as a licensed radio amateur. Please take some extra time to make certain that the important safety and technical requirements detailed in this chapter are followed closely.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Inspect the transceiver visually immediately upon opening the packing carton. Confirm that all controls and switches work freely, and inspect the cabinet for any damage. Gently shake the transceiver to verify that no internal components have been shaken loose due to rough handling during shipping.
If any evidence of damage is discovered, document it thoroughly and contact the shipping company (or your local dealer, if the unit was purchased over-the-counter) so as to get instructions regarding the prompt resolution of the damage situation. Be certain to save the shipping carton, especially if there are any punctures or other evidence of damage incurred during shipping. If it is necessary to return the unit for service or replacement, use the original packing materials. Then put the entire package inside another packing carton to preserve the evidence of shipping damage for insurance purposes.
INSTALLATION TIPS
To ensure long life of the components, be certain to provide adequate ventilation around the cabinet of the FTM-10R.
Do not install the transceiver on top of another heat-generating device (such as a power supply or amplifier). Avoid heating vents and window locations that could expose the trans­ceiver to excessive direct sunlight, especially in hot climates. The FTM-10R should not be used in an environment where the ambient temperature exceeds +140 °F (+60 °C).
10 FTM-10R OPERATING MANUAL
INSTALLATION
SAFETY INFORMATION
The FTM-10R is an electrical apparatus, as well as a generator of High RF (Radio Fre­quency) energy. You should exercise all safety precautions that are appropriate for this type of device. These safety tips apply to any device installed in a well-designed amateur radio station.
Never allow unsupervised children to play in the vicinity of your transceiver or antenna installation.
Be certain to wrap any wire or cable splices thoroughly with insulating electrical tape, to prevent short circuits.
Do not route cables or wires through doorjambs or other locations where they may become frayed and shorted to ground or to each other.
Do not stand in front of a directional antenna while you are transmitting into that antenna. Do not install a directional antenna in any location where humans or pets
may walk in the main directional lobe of the antenna's radiation pattern.
In mobile installations, it is preferable to mount the antenna on top of the vehicle, if feasible, this will utilize the car body as a counterpoise and raise the radiation pat-
tern as far away from passengers as possible.
During mobile operation when stopped (in a parking lot, for example), make it a practice to switch to Low power if there are people walking nearby.
Never wear dual-earmuff headphones while driving a vehicle.
Do not attempt to drive your vehicle while making a telephone or auto patch call while using the optional DTMF microphone. Pull over to the side of the road, whether
dialing manually or using the auto-dial feature.
Warning!: High RF voltage is present in the TX RF section of the transceiver while trans-
mitting. Do not touch the TX RF section while transmitting.
11FTM-10R OPERATING MANUAL
INSTALLATION
MOBILE INSTALLATION
The FTM-10R must only be installed in vehicles having a 13.8 Volt negative ground elec­trical system. Mount the transceiver where the display, controls, and microphone are easily accessible, using the supplied Mobile Mounting Bracket.
The transceiver may be installed in almost any location, but should not be positioned near a heating vent or anywhere where it might interfere with driving (either visually or me­chanically). Make sure to provide plenty of space on all sides of the transceiver so that air can flow freely around the radio’s case.
An antenna and an antenna cable are not included in the box. Purchase them separately to accommodate your transceiver installation.
U The DC power cable draws a large current when transmitting. The power cable should
be wired as short as possible, and connected directly to the battery. (Do not use the cigarette lighter socket for power connections).
U Never remove the fuse holders from the DC cables U Never connect the transceiver directly to a 24 V battery. U Select a low-loss coaxial cable to connect the transceiver with the antenna. Use the
shortest length possible.
U Select a quality, high efficiency VHF/UHF antenna, and mount it in a good location on
the car to obtain the maximum performance from the transceiver. (NOTE: An antenna designed with a matching device that forms a low DC resistance to ground may have poor reception on the AM broadcast band.)
U The antenna depends on good grounding to realize maximum performance. Contact
your dealer for information on transceiver and antenna installation.
U If alternator noise exists, use a line filter in the DC power cable connection.
IMPORTANT: Select a location which can support the weight of the FTM-10R trans-
ceiver and does not interfere with your driving.
12 FTM-10R OPERATING MANUAL
INSTALLATION
Mobile Power Connections
To minimize voltage drop and avoid blowing the vehicle's fuses, connect the supplied DC power cable directly to the battery terminals. Do not attempt to defeat or bypass the DC
cable fuse - it is there to protect you, your transceiver, and your vehicle's electrical sys­tem.
Warning!
Never apply AC power to the power cable of the FTM-10R, nor DC voltage greater than 15.8 Volts. When replacing the fuse, use only a 15-A fuse. Failure to observe these safety precautions will void the Limited Warranty on this product.
U Before connecting the transceiver, check the voltage at the battery terminals while rev-
ving the engine. If the voltage exceeds 15 Volts, repair the vehicle’s voltage regulator before proceeding with installation.
U Connect the RED power cable lead to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal, and the
BLACK power cable lead to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal. If you need to extend the
power cable, use #12 AWG or larger insulated, stranded copper wire. Solder the splice connections carefully, and wrap the connections thoroughly with insulating electrical tape.
U Before connecting the cable to the transceiver, verify the voltage and polarity of the
voltage at the transceiver end of the DC cable using a DC voltmeter. Now connect the transceiver to the DC cable.

13FTM-10R OPERATING MANUAL
INSTALLATION
BASE STATION INSTALLATION
The FTM-10R is ideal for base station use as well as in mobile installations. The FTM-10R is specifically designed to integrate into your station easily, using the following information as a reference.
AC Power Supplies
Operation of the FTM-10R from an AC line requires a power supply capable of providing at least 9 Amps continuously at 13.8 Volts DC. The FP-1025A and FP-1030A DC Power Supplies are available from your Yaesu dealer to satisfy these requirements. Other well­regulated power supplies may be used if they meet the above voltage and current specifica­tions.
Use the DC power cable supplied with your transceiver to make power connections to the power supply. Connect the RED power cable lead to the POSITIVE (+) power supply terminal, and connect the BLACK power cable lead to the NEGATIVE (-) power supply terminal.
14 FTM-10R OPERATING MANUAL
INSTALLATION
ANTENNA CONSIDERATIONS
The FTM-10R is designed for use with antennas presenting an impedance of near 50 Ohms at all operating frequencies. To avoid damage that could result if transmission occurs acci­dentally without an antenna, the antenna (or a 50 Ohm dummy load) should be connected whenever the transceiver is turned on.
Ensure that your antenna is designed to handle 50 Watts of transmitter power. Some mag­netic-mount mobile antennas, designed for use with hand-held transceivers, may not be capable of withstanding this power level. Consult the antenna manufacturer's specification sheet for details.
Use high-quality 50-Ohm coaxial cable for the lead-in to your FTM-10R transceiver. All efforts at providing an efficient antenna system will be wasted if poor quality, “lossy” co­axial cable is used. Losses in coaxial lines increase as the frequency increases, so an 8­meter-long (25’) coaxial line with under 1 dB of loss at 144 MHz may have a loss of 3 dB or more at 446 MHz. Choose your coaxial cable carefully based on the installation location (mobile vs. base) and the overall length of the cable required. (For very short runs of cable in a mobile installation, the smaller, more flexible cable types may be acceptable.)
For reference, the chart below shows approximate loss figures for typically available co­axial cables frequently used in VHF/UHF installations.

In outdoor installations, be certain to weatherproof all connectors thoroughly, as water entering a coaxial cable will cause losses to escalate rapidly, thus diminishing your commu­nications effectiveness. The use of the shortest possible length of the highest quality coaxial cable that fits within your budget will ensure the best performance from your FTM-10R.
Your dealer should be able to assist you with all aspects of your antenna installation re­quirements.

SMART MENU FEATURES
ARTS
The ARTS feature uses DCS signaling to inform both parties when you and another ARTS equipped station are within communications range. This may be particularly useful during Search and Rescue situations, where it is important to stay in contact with other members of your group.
Both stations must set up their DCS codes to the same code number, then activate their ARTS feature using the command appropriate for their radio. Alert ringers may be acti­vated, if desired.
Whenever you push the PTT key, or every 25 seconds after ARTS is activated, your radio will transmit a signal which includes a (subaudible) DCS code for about 1 second. If the other radio is in range, the beeper will sound (if enabled) and the display will show “IN.RANGE”, otherwise the out of range display “OUT.RANGE” will be dis­play during ARTS operation.
Whether you talk or not, the polling every 25 seconds will con­tinue until you de-activate ARTS. When ARTS is de-activated, DCS will also be deactivated (if you were not using it previously in non- ARTS operation).
If you move out of range for more than one minute (four pollings), your radio will sense that no signal has been received. Three beeps will sound, and the display will revert to “OUT.RANGE”. If you move back into range, your radio will again beep, and the display will change back to the “IN.RANGE” indication.
TM
During ARTS operation, your operating frequency will continue to be displayed, but no changes may be made to it or other settings. You must terminate ARTS in order to resume normal operation. This is a safety feature designed to prevent accidental loss of contact due to channel change, etc.
1. Set the FTM-10R to the desired amateur band frequency by the VFO or Memory chan­nel selection.
2. Set your radio and the other radio(s) to the same DCS code number per the discussion on page 65.
2. Press the top panel / key to select “ARTS”.
3. Press the key. You will observe the “OUT.RANGE” display on the LCD. The ARTS operation has now commenced.
4. Every 25 seconds, your radio will transmit a “polling” call to the other station. When that station responds with its own ARTS polling signal, the display will change to “IN.RANGE” to confirm that the other station’s polling code was received in response to yours.
5. When the key function is set to “ARTS” via the top panel / key, the key may be used to toggle the “ARTS” on/off.

63FTM-10R OPERATING MANUAL
CTCSS OPERATION
Many repeater systems require that a very-low-frequency audio tone be superimposed on your FM carrier in order to activate the repeater. This helps prevent false activation of the repeater by radar or spurious signals from other transmitters. This tone system, called “CTCSS” (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System), is included in your FTM-10R, and is very easy to activate.
CTCSS setup involves setting the Tone Mode and then setting of the Tone Frequency. These actions are set up using Menu Items “F40 SQL TYPE” and “F39 SQL TSQF”.
1. Press and hold the [VOL/SEL] key for one second to activate the Menu Mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu Item “F40 SQL TYPE”.
3. Press the key to enable selection of this Menu Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob so that “TONE SQL” appears on the display. This means that the Tone Squelch system is active, which mutes your FTM-10R’s receiver until it receives a call from another radio sending out a matching CTCSS tone. This can help keep your radio quiet until a specific call is received, which may be helpful while operating in congested areas. Note: 1) You may notice a “REV TONE” indication on the display while you rotate the
DIAL knob in this step. This means that the Reverse Tone Squelch system is active, which mutes your FTM-10R’s receiver (instead of opening the squelch) when it receives a call from the radio sending a matched CTCSS tone. The “T SQ” icon will blink on the display when the Reverse Tone Squelch system is activated.
Note: 2) You may notice a “DCS” indication on the display while you rotate the DIAL
knob still more. We’ll discuss the Digital Code Squelch system shortly.
5. When you have made your selection of the CTCSS tone mode, press the key mo­mentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob three clicks counter-clockwise to select Menu Item “F39 SQL TSQF”. This Menu selection allows setting of the CTCSS tone frequency to be used.
6. Press the key to enable adjustment of the CTCSS fre­quency.
7. Rotate the DIAL knob until the display indicates the Tone Frequency you need to use.
8. Press the [VOL/SEL] key to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
Note: Your repeater may or may not re-transmit a CTCSS tone. Some systems just use CTCSS to control access to the repeater, but don’t pass it along when transmitting. If the S­Meter deflects, but the FTM-10R is not passing audio, repeat steps “1” through “4” above, but rotate the DIAL knob so that “TONE” appears. This will allow you to hear all traffic on the channel being received.

DCS OPERATION
Another form of tone access control is Digital Code Squelch, or DCS. It is a newer, more advanced tone system that generally provides more immunity from false paging than does CTCSS. The DCS Encoder/Decoder is built into your FTM-10R, and operation is very similar to that just described for CTCSS. Your repeater system may be configured for DCS. If not, it is frequently quite useful in Simplex operation if your friend(s) use transceivers equipped with this advanced feature.
Note: Just as in CTCSS operation, DCS requires that you set the Tone Mode to DCS and
that you select a DCS Code.
1. Press and hold the [VOL/SEL] key for one second to activate the Menu mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu Item “F40 SQL TYPE”.
3. Press the key to enable selection of this Menu Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob so that “DCS” appears on the dis-
play. This means that the DCS Encoder/Decoder is active, which mutes your FTM-10R’s receiver until it receives a call from another radio sending out a matching DCS tone.
5. When you have made your selection of the DCS mode, press
the key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob two clicks counter-clockwise to select Menu Item “F36 SQL DCS”. This Menu selection allows setting of the DCS code to be used.
6. Press the key to enable adjustment of the DCS code.
7. Rotate the DIAL knob until the display indicates the DCS
code (three-digits number) you need to be using.
8. Press the [VOL/SEL] key to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
Note: Remember that DCS is an Encode/Decode system, so your receiver will remain muted
until a matching DCS code is received on an incoming transmission. Switch the DCS off when you’re just tuning around the band!

65FTM-10R OPERATING MANUAL
EPCS
The FTM-10R includes an Enhanced CTCSS tone encoder/decoder and a dedicated micro­processor providing paging and selective calling features. This allows you to place a call to a specific station (Paging), and to receive calls of your choice directed only to you (Code Squelch).
The paging and code squelch systems use two pairs of (alternately switched) CTCSS tones, which are stored in the pager memories. Basically, your receiver remains silent until it receives the CTCSS tone pair that matches those stored in the Receiving Pager Memory. The squelch then opens so the caller is heard, and the paging ringer immediately sounds, if activated. When you close the PTT key to transmit, the CTCSS tone pair that is stored in the Transmitting Pager Memory will be transmitted automatically.
On the paged radio, the squelch will close automatically after the incoming page ends.

The “Automatic Power-Off” (APO) feature will turn the radio completely off after a user­defined period of PTT or key/button inactivity. If you do not press any front panel keys or buttons, rotate the DIAL knob, use the microphone’s keys and buttons, or transmit, and so long as the transceiver is not scanning or engaged in priority monitoring, the radio will shut itself off after the specified time period.
The FTM-10R can operate the Automatic Power-Off feature through the Clock/Timer func­tion.
The available selections for the time before power-off are 0.5 - 12.0 hours (0.5 hour incre­ments), as well as APO Off. This feature is useful in minimizing battery drain in a mobile installation if you forget to turn the transceiver off when you leave your vehicle.
To activate the APO feature:
1. Press the [VOL/SEL] key repeatedly to display the Clock, Stop Watch Timer, or Ther-
mometer.
2. Press and hold the [VOL/SEL] key for one second.
3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu Item “T8 APO”.
4. Press the key to enable selection of this Menu Item.
5. Rotate the DIAL knob to select desired time, after which the radio will automatically
shut down. Available selections are 0.5 to 12.0 hours (0.5 hour increments), or Off.
6. Press the [VOL/SEL] key to save the new setting and exit to Clock/Timer mode.
If there is no action by you within the time interval programmed, a ringer sounds 3 minutes before the APO shutdown time. Three minutes thereafter, the microprocessor will shut down the radio automatically.
