GETTING TO KNOW THE TRANSMITTER
Display switch
•
If the display switch is turned on without turning on the power switch, programming is possible without emitting
radio waves.
If power switch is turned on while display switch is on, transmitter will transmit, which
will interfere with other users operating on the same frequency. Always be sure you have
control of your frequency prior to turning on the primary power switch.
•
LCD screen contrast can be adjusted (See
SYSTEM
, p. 13.)
•
LCD may be difficult to read due to temperature change when exposed to direct sunlight
for more than a few minutes at a time, extreme heat, cold, or humidity.
•
Always use only the display switch unless you want to transmit to your receiver and you
have control of the frequency.
•
Transmitting with the antenna collapsed may damage the module.
