User manual ICOM IC-706AMKIIG

[. . . ] INSTRUCTION MANUAL i706MKTMG HF/VHF/UHF ALL MODE TRANSCEIVER This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. IMPORTANT Read this instruction manual carefully before attempting to operate the transceiver. Save this instruction manual. This instruction manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the IC-706MKIIG. PRECAUTIONS RWARNING HIGH VOLTAGE!NEVER attach an antenna or internal antenna connector during transmission. [. . . ] [TUNER/CALL] CAUTION: NEVER transmit with the tuner ON when no antenna is connected. This will damage both the transceiver and the antenna tuner. Note: · The AT-180 cannot be used for the 144/430 MHz band. · When operating on the 144/430 MHz band, pushing the tuner switch selects the call channel (p. · The AT-180 can match both HF and 50 MHz bands. However, operation is different for the HF and 50 MHz bands. TUNER OPERATION · For the HF band: Push [TUNER] to turn the tuner ON. The antenna is tuned automatically during transmission when the antenna SWR is higher than 1. 5:1. · When the tuner is OFF, the [TUNER] light goes out. [TUNER/CALL] Push and hold for 1 sec. to start manual tuning. If the tuner cannot reduce the SWR to less than 1. 5:1 after 20 sec. In this case, check the following: · the antenna connection and feedline · the antenna SWR (p. 26; meter function) Through inhibit (HF bands only) The AT-180 has a through inhibit condition. When selecting this condition, the tuner can be used at poor SWR's. In this case, automatic tuning in the HF bands activates only when exceeding SWR 3:1. Therefore, manual tuning is necessary each time you change the frequency. Although termed "through inhibit, " the tuner will be "through" if the SWR is higher than 3:1 after tuning. CONVENIENT Lights to indicate the AT-180 is turned ON. · For the 50 MHz band: Push and hold [TUNER] to tune the antenna. If the [TUNER] light flashes slowly while transmitting, push and hold [TUNER] again to re-tune the antenna. [TUNER/CALL] · Tuner sensitive condition (HF bands only) If you require critical tuning at any time during transmission, select the tuner sensitive condition. · Automatic tuner start (HF bands only) If you want to turn OFF the tuner under conditions of VSWR 1. 5:1 or less, use "automatic tuner on" and turn the tuner OFF. 54 for turning the function ON and OFF. Flashes to indicate re-tuning is necessary. 27 RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT 4 D Optional AH-4 AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER operation The AH-4 matches the IC-706MKIIG to a long wire antenna more than 7 m/23 ft long (3. 5 MHz and above). · See p. · See the AH-4 instruction manual for AH-4 installation and antenna connection details. AH-4 setting example: For mobile operation Optional AH-2b antenna element AH-4 operation Tuning is required for each frequency. Be sure to re-tune the antenna before transmitting when you change the frequency--even slightly. Set the desired frequency in an HF band. · The AH-4 will not operate on frequencies outside of ham bands. USB Push and hold [TUNER] for 2 sec. · The [TUNER] light flashes and "CW" appears while tuning.
