When turning on the transceiver for the first time, please set the local time as soon as possible. If this is not done,
the various functions of the World Clock and Great Circle Map will not function correctly.
Note
: If you wish to add a city to the City List that was programmed at the factory, you will need to supply your own
USB or PS2 Keyboard. If you utilize one of the pre-loaded cities, a keyboard is not necessary.
You may also set up the local time for other locations, without a keyboard, using the cities that have been pre-
loaded at the factory.

1. Powering Up the Transceiver
On the rear panel, move the Power switch to the
“
IIIII
” position to apply power from the power supply.
The transceiver will not turn on yet, but power will
now be supplied to the OCXO.
Hold in the front panel
POWER
switch to turn the
transceiver on.
Note
: The opening screen will appear on the TFT dis-
play, and the self-check function of the CPU inside
the radio will begin. Then, the
μ
-Tuning circuitry will
receive the data from the CPU, and it will perform its
own self-check, and will preset itself to the proper set-
tings for the current operating frequency.
While the
μ
-Tuning circuitry is obtaining the data, the
drive mechanism will move from one end of its range
to the other end (fast), and this will cause a temporary
“motor” noise that can be heard; this, does not repre-
sent any trouble or problem.
When the radio is turned on for the first time, it takes
about 50 seconds (from turning the radio on to com-
pleting the self- check) until the radio becomes ready
to use; however, from the next time you turn it on, it
will take around 10 seconds until the transceiver is
ready for full operation.
2. Local Time-1 Setup
On the TFT, there should be a World Map dis-
played; if the World Map does not appear, find the
[
DISP
](
Display
) key below and to the right of the
TFT; press this key as many times as required to
get the World Map to display on the TFT.
Below the TFT, press the [
F1
](
SET
) key; the TFT
should now show
LOCAL TIME -1
; this setting has
been pre-set for Japanese time at the factory.
