Installation
This chapter describes the installation procedure for integrating the FTM-10SR 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-10SR.
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-10SR should
not be used in an environment where the ambient temperature exceeds +60 °C.
Safety Information
The FTM-10SR 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
FCC ID: K6620305X30
IC ID: 511B-20305X30
FTM-10R Operating Manual
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 pattern 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.
Mobile Installation
The FTM-10SR 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 DC power cable
FCC ID: K6620305X30
IC ID: 511B-20305X30
FTM-10R Operating Manual
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-10SR
transceiver and does not interfere with your driving.
Mobile Power Connections
To minimize voltage drop and avoid blowing the vehicle’s fuses, connect the 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-10SR, 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 WHITE 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.
ρ 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
FCC ID: K6620305X30

BLACK:Negative (–)
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-10SR, if they present the specified
8-Ohm impedance and are capable of handling the 8 Watts of audio output supplied by the
FTM-10SR.
Base Station Installation
The FTM-10SR is ideal for base station use as well as in mobile installations. The
FTM-10SR is specifically designed to integrate into your station easily, using the following
information as a reference.
AC Power Supplies
Operation of the FTM-10SR from an AC line requires a power supply capable of providing at
least 9 Amps continuously at 13.8 Volts DC. The FP-1030A DC Power Supplies are
available from your Yaesu dealer to satisfy these requirements. Other well-regulated 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.
Antenna Considerations
The FTM-10SR 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.
FCC ID: K6620305X30
IC ID: 511B-20305X30
FTM-10R Operating Manual
Use high-quality 50-Ohm coaxial cable for the lead-in to your FTM-10SR 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 in dB per 30 m (100 feet) for Selected 50-Ohm Coaxial Cables
(Assumes 50-Ohm Input/Output Terminations)
Cable Type Loss: 144 MHz

Belden 9913 1.5 2.9
Times Microwave LMR-400 1.5 2.6
7/8” “Hardline” 0.7 1.3
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-10SR.
Your dealer should be able to assist you with all aspects of your antenna installation
requirements.

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
FCC ID: K6620305X30
IC ID: 511B-20305X30
FTM-10R Operating Manual
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.
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-10SR to the desired amateur band frequency by the VFO or Memory
