INSTALLATION

This chapter describes the installation procedure for integrating the FTM-10Rinto a typi- cal amateur radio station. It is presumed that you possess technical knowledge and concep- tual 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 trans- ceiver to excessive direct sunlight, especially in hot climates. The FTM-10Rshould not be used in an environment where the ambient temperature exceeds +140 °F (+60 °C).
