Such a radio is allowed only for the use as ground station!
Always turn OFF the radio when installing or removing the unit!
Always turn OFF the radio when starting nearby engines or
vehicles!
The
FSG 2T PS
should be used exclusively for aviation related
communication purposes.
Unauthorized modifications and changes of the system are
forbidden .
Sufficient speech volume is very important. While the lips are very
close and facing the microphone, speak loud and clear. Proper
speech level is indicated by the yellow flickering LED on the
FSG 2T
front panel.
In vehicles a suitable noise canceling microphone or headset shall
be used.
Prior to any use verify proper
FSG 2T PS
functions by means of a
short radio check. It has however to be taken into account that with
a faulty antenna or its cable this communication test may
absolutely turn out positive at the airfield or in short distance to the
ground station. But at a distance of 2 to 6 miles, a faulty antenna
and / or cables will cause communication breakdown!
Push-to-Talk keys may stick occasionally.
The transmission signaling RED or flickering YELLOW LED shall
be turn to CLEAR or GREEN when releasing the PTT key.
However, after more than two minutes continuous transmitting (by
stuck button or operator caused), the built-in transmit time-out-
timer disables the transmitter in order to avoid continuous channel
blocking. A continuously flashing display warns the user. Refer to
appropriate hints in this manual.
