FT-257 OperaTing Manual 5
Antenna Installation
The supplied antenna provides good results over the entire frequency range of the trans-
ceiver. However, for enhanced reception on certain non-Amateur frequencies, you may
wish to connect an antenna designed specically for that fre-
quency range, as the supplied antenna is necessarily a com-
promise outside the Amateur band, and cannot be expected to
provide high performance at all frequencies.
To install the supplied antenna, hold the bottom end of the an-
tenna, then screw it onto the mating connector on the transceiv-
er until it is snug. Do not over-tighten by use of extreme force.
Notes:
Never transmit without having an antenna connected.
When installing the supplied antenna, never hold the upper part of the antenna while
screwing it onto the mating connector on the transceiver.
If using an external antenna for transmission, ensure that the SWR presented to the
transceiver is 1.5:1 or lower, to avoid excessive feedline loss.
Installation of FNB-124LI Battery Pack
The
FNB-124LI
is a high performance Li-ion battery providing high capacity in a compact
package. Recharging can be completed while the pack is installed inside the
FT-257
.
Installation of the battery is easy and quick:
Release the Battery Cover Latch and remove the
Battery Cover from the radio by lifting the top of the
Cover.
Connect the 3-pin plug from the Battery pack to the
battery jack on the transceiver.
Install the
FNB-124LI
Battery Pack into the radio.
Replace the Battery Cover by carefully aligning the
two tabs on the bottom of the cover with the slots
on the radio, then gently press the top side of the
Battery Cover. Conrm that a Rubber Gasket of the
Battery Cover is installed correctly.
Close the Battery Cover Latch until it locks in place
with a “Click”.
Caution:
To insure the
FT-257
will not be damaged by water
intrusion, make sure the battery cover is properly
installed and the battery latch is closed.
