Operation
Turning the Transceiver On and Off
1. To turn the transceiver on, press and hold in the
switch for one second.
2. To turn the transceiver off, again press and hold

The one-second delay helps you avoid acci-
dental switching on (or off) of DC power.
Supply Voltage Display
When you turn on the transceiver, the DC supply voltage is indi-
cated in the upper left corner of the LCD for two seconds. After
this interval, the display will resume its normal indication of the
operating mode (VFOa, VFOb, or Memory Channel Number).
To view the supply voltage at any time during operation:
1. Press the
key momentarily, then rotate the knob to select Operating Function
Row 11*

corner of the LCD.
3. To cancel the supply voltage display, again press the

cle, to ensure that the
