FTDX9000 TFT OPERATION MANUAL FTDX9000 TFT OPERATION MANUAL PLEASE READ THIS FIRST 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 preloaded at the factory. 1. Powering Up the Transceiver On the rear panel, move the Power switch to the I "I" 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 display, and the self-check function of the CPU inside the radio will begin. Then, the -Tuning circuitry will receive the data from the CPU, and it will perform its own self-check, and will preset itself to the proper settings for the current operating frequency. While the -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 represent 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 completing 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 displayed; 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. FTDX9000 TFT OPERATION MANUAL PLEASE READ THIS FIRST 3.
