NOTE

This section defines each control of the transceiver. For detailed operating instructions refer to section 4 of this manual.

Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the following controls, indicators, and connections.

3.1 CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS

This is known as the default condition, the same as when shipped from the factory. For a list of these defaults, see the section on resetting the Transceiver’s Microprocessor.
