FTM-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 but put the entire package
inside another packing carton, so as 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), and do not place equipment, books, or papers on top of the
FTM-10R. 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).
Safety Information
The FTM-10R is an electrical apparatus, as well as a generator of RF (Radio Frequency)
energy, and you should exercise all safety precautions as 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

FTM-10R Operating Manual
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 door jambs or other locations where, through
wear and tear, 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
be walking in the main directional lobe of the antenna’s radiation pattern.
(!) In mobile installations, it is preferable to mount your antenna on top of the roof of the
vehicle, if feasible, so as to utilize the car body as a counterpoise for the antenna and
raise the radiation pattern as far away from passengers as possible.
(!) During vehicular 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 call on an autopatch
using the optional DTMF microphone. Pull over to the side of the road, whether dialing
manually or using the auto-dial feature.
Warning!: The 70.7 V RF voltage (@50 W/50 Ohms) is applied to the TX RF section of the
transceiver while transmitting. Do not touch the TX RF section absolutely while
transmitting.
Antenna Considerations
The FTM-10R is designed for use with antennas presenting an impedance of near 50
Ohms at all operating frequencies. The antenna (or a 50 Ohm dummy load) should be
connected whenever the transceiver is turned on, to avoid damage that could otherwise
result if transmission occurs accidentally without an antenna.
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.
Most all FM work is performed using vertical polarization. When installing a directional
antenna such as a Yagi or Cubical Quad, be certain to orient it so as to produce vertical
polarization, unless you are engaged in a special operating situation where horizontal
polarization is used. In the case of a Yagi antenna, orient the elements vertically for
vertical polarization; for a Cubical Quad, the feedpoint should be at the center of one of
FCC ID: K6620275X40
IC ID: 511B-20275X40
FTM-10R Operating Manual
the vertical sides of the driven element (or at a side corner, in the case of a
diamond-shaped Cubical Quad).
Note that this transceiver is designed with wide frequency coverage in the VHF/UHF
spectrum. For general listening, you may wish to have a broadband antenna such as a
discone available, as a directional antenna such as a Yagi will have degraded
performance outside the Amateur band for which it is designed.
Excellent reference texts and computer software are available for the design and
optimization of VHF and UHF antennas. Your dealer should be able to assist you with
all aspects of your antenna installation requirements.
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.
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.
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 MMB-?? Mobile Mounting Bracket.
The transceiver may be installed in almost any location, but should not be positioned
near a heating vent nor 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. Refer to the diagrams showing proper
installation procedures.

FTM-10R Operating Manual
How to use the supplied Angle Sub Panel
FTM-10R can tilt the front panel by using supplied Angle Sub Panel.
Remove the four screws affixing the Front Panel, then remove the Front Panel from
the transceiver’s body.
Disconnect the 8-pin modular plug from the transceiver’s body.
Remove a screw affixing the Straight Sub Panel, then remove the Straight Sub
Panel from the Front Panel.
Affix the supplied Angle Sub Panel to the Front Panel, using the previously
removed screw. You may set up to “look-up” or “look-down” direction by a direction
to install.
Connect the 8-pin modular plug from the transceiver’s body.
Affix the Front Panel (with Angle Sub Panel) to the transceiver’s body, using the
previously removed four screws.
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’s 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, only use 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, adjust 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.

8-Ohm impedance and are capable of handling the 8 Watts of audio output supplied by
the FTM-10R.
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
information to follow as a reference.
AC Power Supplies
Operation of the FTM-10R from an AC line requires a power source capable of providing
at least 9 Amps continuously at 13.8 Volts DC. The FP-1025A and FP-1030A AC Power
Supplies are available from your Yaesu dealer to satisfy these requirements. Other
well-regulated power supplies may be used, as well, if they meet the above voltage and
current specifications.
Use the DC power cable supplied with your transceiver for making 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.
