Preliminary Steps
Install a charged battery pack onto the transceiver,
as described previously.
To attach the supplied antenna to the
FTA-310
,
grasp the base of the antenna firmly, and exert a
moderate “pinching” pressure on the base as you
press the antenna onto the radio’s antenna connec-
tor. While exerting this pressure, rotate the antenna
clockwise 1/4 turnto lock the antenna in place.
Operation Quick Start
To turn the radio on
,
rotate the (inner)
VOL-
UME
knob out of the
click-stop.
A channel frequency
should appear on the dis-
play. If not, press down-
ward (momentarily) on
the
VOLUME
knob
(repeatedly, if necessary)
so that “
- VFO -
” appears
on the display, followed by a channel frequency.
Directly entering frequencies from the keypad is the
easiest method if you know the frequency on which
you wish to operate. Just enter the five digits of the
frequency to move to that frequency.
