Page 30 FT-950 OPERATING MANUAL
1. Turn on the external DC power supply.
2. Press and hold in the front-panel
[
POWER
]
switch
until the transceiver turns on. After about
five seconds (ten seconds if the optional
µ-Tuning Kit is connected), the transceiver
is ready for full operation.
3. The transceiver will start up on 7.000.00 MHz LSB,
and normal operation may begin.
NOTE:
To turn power off, press and hold in the front panel
[
POWER
]
switch for two seconds.
4. Rotate the
[
AF GAIN
]
knob to
set a comfortable audio level on
incoming signals or noise.
Clockwise rotation of the
[
AF
GAIN
]
knob increases the vol-
ume level.
NOTE:
When using headphones, start by rotating the
[
AF
GAIN
]
knob counter-clockwise, then bring the volume
level up after you put the headphones on. This will
minimize the chance of damage to your hearing caused
by an unexpectedly high audio level.
5. Press the
[(
VFO-A
)
RX
]
Indicator/Switch to en-
gage the VFO-A; the im-
bedded LED will glow
green.
ADVICE:
If you press the
[(
VFO-
A
)
RX
]
Indicator/Switch
when the imbedded LED is already glowing green, the
LED will now blink “on” and “off”; this indicates that
the VFO-A receiver is temporarily muted. Just press
the
[(
VFO-A
)
RX
]
Indicator/Switch once more to re-
store VFO-A receiver operation.
6. Press the
[
BAND
]
button
corresponding to the Ama-
teur band on which you
wish to begin operation.
ADVICE:
One-touch selection of each Amateur band between
1.8 and 50 MHz is provided.
The FT-950 utilizes a triple band-stack VFO se-
lection technique, which permits you to store up to
three favorite frequencies and modes onto each
band’s VFO register. For example, you may store
one frequency each on 14 MHz CW, RTTY, and
USB, then recall these frequencies by successive,
momentary presses of the
[
14
]
MHz band button.
Each Amateur band button may similarly have up
to three frequency/mode settings applied.
When the
[
BAND
]
button is pressed, the imbed-
ded LED will glow orange, and the
[
CLAR/VFO-
B
]
knob may be used as a band selection knob.
When the
[
MHz
]
button (located to the left of the
[
CLAR/VFO-B
]
knob), is pressed, the imbedded
LED will glow orange, and then rotation of the
[
CLAR/VFO-B
]
knob will change the frequency
in 1 MHz steps.
7. Press the
[
ANT 1-2
]
button to select
the appropriate antenna for the band
in use. Two TX/RX antennas may be
used or one for TX and one RX-only
antenna.
ADVICE:
When you make an antenna selection, that antenna is
“remembered” by the microprocessor in conjunction
with the VFO register in use.
