[. . . ] 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. S a v e t h i s i n s t r u c t i o n m a n u a l . This instruction manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the IC-706MKIIG. PRECAUTIONS W RW A R N I N G H I G H V O L T A G E !N E V E R attach an antenna or internal antenna connector during transmission. [. . . ] 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) T h r o u g h i n h i b i t (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] · T u n e r s e n s i t i v e c o n d i t i o n (HF bands only) If you require critical tuning at any time during transmission, select the tuner sensitive condition. · A u t o m a t i c t u n e r s t a r t (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. B e s u r e 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. For outdoor operation Long wire · The [TUNER] light flashes and "CW" appears while tuning. Push [TUNER] for 2 sec. W RW A R N I N G : H I G H V O L T A G E ! N E V E R touch the antenna element while tuning or transmitting. CW The [TUNER] light lights constantly when tuning is N E V E R operate the AH-4 without an antenna wire. The tuner and transceiver will be damaged. N E V E R operate the AH-4 when it is ungrounded. Transmitting before tuning may damage the transceiver. Note that the AH-4 cannot tune when using a 1 /2 long wire or multiple of the operating frequency. N o t e : The AH-4 can be used for HF bands and the 50 MHz band only. complete. · When the connected wire cannot be tuned, the [TUNER] light goes out, the AH-4 is bypassed and the antenna wire is connected to the antenna connector on the transceiver directly. To bypass the AH-4 manually, push [TUNER]. CONVENIENT · PTT tune function The AH-4 is always tuned when the PTT is pushed after the frequency is changed (more than 1%). This function removes the "push and hold [TUNER]" operation and activates first transmission on the new frequency. This function is turned ON in initial set mode, item 13 (p. 54). 28 4 RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT I Split frequency operation Split frequency operation allows you to transmit and receive on two different frequencies.
