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.
