FT-270R OPERATING MANUAL12
Hi! I’m R. F. Radio, and I’ll be helping you along as you learn the many
features of the FT-270R. I know you’re anxious to get on the air, but I encour-
age you to read the “Operation” section of this manual as thoroughly as
possible, so you’ll get the most out of this fantastic new transceiver. Now. . .let’s get
operating!
SWITCHING POWER ON AND OFF
 Be sure the Battery Pack is installed, and that the battery is fully charged. Connect the
antenna to the top panel ANTENNA jack.
 Rotate the top panel’s VOL/PWR knob (inner knob)
out of the click-stop to turn on the radio. The current
DC supply voltage will be indicated on the display for 2
seconds. After this 2 second interval, the display will
resume its normal indication of the operating frequency.
 To turn the radio off, turn the VOL/PWR knob fully
counter-clockwise into the click stop position.
ADJUSTING THE AUDIO VOLUME LEVEL
Rotate the VOL/PWR knob (inner knob) to adjust the re-
ceiver audio to a comfortable listening level, using the back-
ground noise as a reference. Clockwise rotation increases
the volume level.
