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).

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 transmitting. Do not touch the TX RF section while transmitting.
FTM-10R OPERATING MANUAL |
11 |
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.
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).
Never remove the fuse holders from the DC cables Never connect the transceiver directly to a 24 V battery.
Select a low-loss coaxial cable to connect the transceiver with the antenna. Use the shortest length possible.
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.)
The antenna depends on good grounding to realize maximum performance. Contact your dealer for information on transceiver and antenna installation.
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 transceiver and does not interfere with your driving.

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.
Before connecting the transceiver, check the voltage at the battery terminals while revving the engine. If the voltage exceeds 15 Volts, repair the vehicle’s voltage regulator before proceeding with installation.
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.
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.

Mobile Speakers
The optional MLS-200-M10 High-Power External Speaker includes its own swivel-type mounting bracket, and is available from your Yaesu dealer.
Other external speakers may be used with the FTM-10R, if they present the specified 8- Ohm impedance and are capable of handling the 8 Watts of audio output supplied by the
FTM-10R.
FTM-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 mag- netic-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 8- meter-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.

Loss figures are approximate; consult cable manufacturers’ catalogs for complete specifications.
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
ARTSTM
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 dis-
play 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 nonARTS 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.
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.
