Installation guidelines
• Do not expose the transceiver to direct sunshine.
• Do not expose the transceiver to dust or high humidity.
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the transceiver, to prevent heat build-up and possible reduction of
performance due over heating.
• Do not install the transceiver in a mechanically unstable location, or where objects may fall onto it from
above.
• When installing the FTDX101MP and FPS-101, be careful not to forcibly bend or pull the power cable.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the power cable.
• Do not use a power cable other than the one that is provided.
• To minimize the possibility of interference to home entertainment devices, take all precautionary steps
including separation of TV/FM antennas from Amateur transmitting antennas to the greatest extent pos-
sible. Keep the transmitting coaxial cables separated from cables connected to home entertainment de-
vices.
• Make sure to turn the transceiver OFF and disconnect all cables before moving the FTDX101MP or
FPS-101.
• The AC Power Cord connected to a socket-outlet with earthing connection. A socket-outlet with earthing
connection shall connect to protective earthing conductor.
Caution
Be sure that both the transceiver Front Panel POWER switch and the FPS-101 Main Power switch are
both turned OFF any time you plug or unplug the power cable to the FTDX101MP and FPS-101. This will
avoid potentially damaging electrical spikes and electrical shock.
When disconnecting the power cable, hold the connector, press the lock tab to
release it and pull the plug from the connector. Pulling the power cable without
releasing the lock may cause a failure.
