Important
Read and save this Operating Manual carefully before attempting to operate the HF/VHF PT-8000A
transceiver. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the transceiver.
Precautions
WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER touch an antenna or internal antenna connector during
transmission. This may result in an electrical shock or burn of your skin by high-frequency.
NEVER
apply AC to the DC socket on the transceiver rear panel. This will ruin the transceiver and
may cause fire.
NEVER
allow any object touch any internal parts or connectors on the rear panel of the
transceiver. This could cause electrical shock and severe injury.
NEVER
expose the PT-8000A to precipitation like rain or any liquid nor operate the transceiver in
excessively dusty or very humid environment.
NEVER
allow children or any unauthorized persons to operate the transceiver.
AVOID placing
and using the transceiver in areas with temperatures below -15°C or above +50°C. If the
environment temperature drops so low that the dew point is undercut, avoid operating before the devices
are dried completely.
AVOID placing the transceiver and the power supply against a wall. This may inhibit proper air circulation
and could cause overheat. Do not cover any air inlets and outlets at top, bottom and rear panel of the
devices.
USE CARE
when connecting the transceiver to a linear amplifier. Keep in mind the performance limits or
operating ranges of electrical connectors and interfaces. Set the PT-8000A RF-output level to less than the
linear amplifier’s maximum input level to prevent amplifier damage.
USE
CARE when not operating the transceiver with Hilberling T9 microphone. Others may have different
pin assignments and connecting to the transceiver may cause damage to the transceiver and the
microphone.
