A WORD ABOUT TUNING ETIQUETTE
Be sure to use a vacant frequency when tuning. With today’s crowded ham bands, this is
often difficult. However, causing interference to other hams should be avoided as much as
possible. The AT-897Plus’s very short tuning cycle, as little as a fraction of a second, minimizes
the impact of tuning transmissions.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The AT-897Plus tuner is essentially maintenance- free. Power limits in this manual should be
strictly adhered to. Be sure also to observe the proper precautions when tuning on the 6 meter
band.
The outer case may be cleaned as needed with a soft cloth slightly dampened with household
cleaning solution. As with any modern electronic device, the AT-897P lus can be damaged by
temperature extremes, water, impact, or static discharge. LDG strongly recommends the use of a
good quality, properly installed lightning arrestor in the antenna lead.

TWO-YEAR TRANSFERRABLE WARRANTY
Your product is warranted against manufacturer defects in parts and labor for two full years
from the date of purchase. This two-year warranty is also transferable. When you sell or give
away your LDG product give the new owner a copy of the original sales receipt and the two- year
warranty goes with the new owner.
There is no need to complete a warranty card or to register an LDG product. Your product
receipt establishes eligibility for warranty service so save that receipt. Send your receipt with the
product whenever you send your product to LDG for repair. Products sent to LDG without a
receipt are considered requests for out-of-warranty repair.
LDG does not warranty against product damage or abuse. This means that a product failure,
as determined by LDG, to be caused by the customer or by other natural calamity (e.g. lightning)
is not covered under the two-year warranty. Damage can be caused by failure to heed the
product’s published limitations and specifications or by not following good Amateur practice.
OUT OF WARRANTY SERVICE
Any time a product fails after the warranty, LDG wants to help you get it fixed. Send the
product to us for repair. We will determine what needs to be done, and based on your prior
instruction; either contact you with an estimate or fix it and contact you with a request to pay any
repair charges. Please contact LDG if you have any questions before you send us an out-of-
warranty product for repair.
