TRANSCEIVER CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
 

The MFJ-9200 has no internal “user” adjustment and is designed to be maintenance 
free. To preserve the finish, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the cabinet or on 
plastic parts. When backpacking or boating, keep the radio dry by sealing it in a Baggie 
or Pelican case during transport. If it should become wet, remove the back of the case 
and allow all circuitry to dry out for an extended period before powering up. Do not 
power up if you observe condensation in the LCD window, and avoid heating at high 
temperature to accelerate drying. Better to seal it in a container with a desiccant 
capsule to draw the moisture out at room temperature.  
 

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE 
 

If you have a problem with your radio, first check all external plugs and cables for shorts 
or opens and confirm that your antenna is working properly with low SWR. Also, check 
the operating voltage of the power supply or battery pack and review the radio’s various 
functions to confirm that you haven't inadvertently reset a critical operating parameter. If 
the problem persists, you may call MFJ Technical Services at 662-323-0549 or the MFJ 
Factory at 662-323-5869. Have your unit, the manual, and all pertinent information 
about your station handy so you can answer any questions the technician may ask.  
 
You may also send questions by mail to MFJ Enterprises, Inc., 300 Industrial Park 
Road, Starkville, MS, 39759 or e-mail 

[email protected]

Be sure to include 

a complete description of the problem and an exact description of your operating setup 
and conditions.
