The control head of the FTM-150E ASP can be separated from the main unit for flexible installation. To separate, press the unlock button on the side of the control head.

4. Połączenia

Refer to the diagrams for proper connection points:

• Zasilanie DC: Connect the supplied DC power cable to the 13.8V DC input on the rear of the main unit. Ensure correct polarity.
• Antena: Connect a suitable dual-band antenna to the ANT jack.
• Mikrofon: Connect the SSM-85D DTMF Microphone to the MIC jack on the control head.
• Głośnik zewnętrzny (opcjonalnie): An external speaker can be connected to the EXT SP socket for enhanced audio.
• Data Jack: Do przesyłania danych lub programowania.
• Gniazdo sterujące: For connecting the separated control head to the main unit.

Instrukcja obsługi

1. Podstawowe sterowanie

• Włączanie/wyłączanie: Press the power key (11) to turn the transceiver on or off.
• VOL/SQL Knob (1): Adjusts the audio volume and squelch level.
• DIAL Knob (2): Used for frequency tuning, memory channel selection, and menu navigation.
• LED Display Screen (5): Shows current frequency, operating mode, and other status indicators.
• BAND Key (7): Przełącza między pasmami częstotliwości.
• V/M Key (9): Toggles between VFO (Variable Frequency Oscillator) and Memory modes.

2. Wybór częstotliwości (tryb VFO)

In VFO mode, you can manually tune to desired frequencies:

1. Naciśnij W/M key to enter VFO mode.
2. Obróć CYFERBLAT pokrętło, aby zmienić częstotliwość.
3. Użyj ZESPÓŁ key to switch between VHF and UHF bands, or other available receive bands like the Air Band.

3. Adjusting Static Dryness Level

The static dryness level (squelch) can be adjusted to filter out noise. Rotate the VOL/SQL knob to find the optimal setting where background noise is suppressed but weak signals can still be heard.

4. Funkcje pamięci

• Grupa pamięci podstawowej (PMG): This feature allows you to register up to 5 frequently used frequencies for quick recall and monitoring. Consult the full user manual for detailed programming steps.
• Automatyczne grupowanie pamięci (MAG): Automatically organizes memory channels.
• Kanały pamięci: The transceiver has 1103 memory channels. To store a frequency, tune to the desired frequency in VFO mode, then follow the memory store procedure outlined in the detailed manual.

5. Zaawansowane funkcje

• Kodowanie/pamięć DTMF: Use the DTMF keyboard on the microphone to send DTMF tones or store DTMF sequences.
• VOX Operation: Enable Voice Activated Transmit for hands-free operation. Adjust VOX sensitivity as needed.
• Alert pogodowy NOAA: The transceiver can receive NOAA Weather Alerts in areas where this service is available.
• Karta MicroSD: Insert a microSD card (up to 32GB) into the slot on the main unit for backing up memory data and cloning radio data to other compatible radios.

Konserwacja

• Czyszczenie: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the transceiver's exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Wentylacja: Ensure the cooling fan and ventilation slots are free from dust and obstructions to prevent overheating.
• Karta MicroSD: Regularly back up your memory data to the microSD card. Format the card periodically if issues arise.

Rozwiązywanie problemów

• Brak zasilania: Check DC power cable connections, ensure correct voltage (13.8V DC), and inspect the 15A fuse.
• Brak dźwięku: Verify volume level, squelch setting, and microphone connection. Check if an external speaker is properly connected if in use.
• Nie można przesłać: Ensure the antenna is properly connected. Check power output settings.
• Słaby odbiór: Check antenna connection and location. Adjust squelch level. Ensure you are within range of the transmitting station.
• Problemy z wyświetlaniem: If the display is blank or erratic, try cycling the power. If issues persist, consult the full service manual or contact support.
