Note:

5

Switch OFF both the Transporter and HF transceiver before making

 

the connection.

6The Transporter automatically transmits its call sign in Morse at

7regular intervals because of the legal requirement; therefore, transmit sidetone must be output from the HF transceiver. On TS-570D or

8TS-570S, do not select “OFF” in Menu 21. On TS-870S, use the MONI control to adjust the volume of sidetone.

9When the Transporter is too close to the HF transceiver, unwanted

10feedback may cause malfunction.

Do not share a regulated power supply between the Transporter and

11the HF transceiver. Unwanted feedback may cause malfunction.
