| Best performance from this
equipment can only be obtained if proper care is observed during installation.
While the setup procedure for the FRG7700 is extremely straightforward,
permanent damage to the set can occur if improper voltage is applied to the
unit or if external connections are improperly made. Before attempting
operation of your FRG 7700, be certain to read the following sections
carefully. |
| |
| UNPACKING AND INITIAL
INSPECTION |
| |
| Carefully remove the FRG 7700
from its carton, and inspect it for any signs of physical damage. Rotate the
knobs and push the, switches, checking each for normal freedom of action.
Should any damage be observed, document it carefully, and notify the shipping
company immediately. Save the carton and foam packing material for possible use
at a later date |
| |
| AC VOLTAGE SELECTION |
| |
| Your FRG 7700 is supplied with a
power transformer capable of operation from 100, 120, 220, or 240 volts, as
these voltages are the ones most commonly used throughout the world. Your Yaesu
dealer has taken care to make sure that your radio is set up for the voltage
used in your area. However, in some parts of the world, more than one voltage
is available for use. It is extremely important that the FRG-7700 not be
subjected to an improper supply voltage. |
| |
| Therefore, before connecting the
power cord to the radio, make absolutely certain that the voltage specification
marked on the rear panel of your receiver (lower right hand corner) matches
your local supply voltage. At the same time, check to make certain that a fuse
of the proper rating is installed. For 100/120 volt operation, use a 1 amp
fuse. For 230/240 volt operation, use a 1/2 amp fuse. The fuse holder is
located on the rear panel. NEVER remove the fuse holder when the power cord is
plugged into the wall outlet. |
|
|
| CAUTION |
| |
Be certain to observe the above precautions
regarding power connections and fuses. Our warranty does not cover damage
caused by improper supply voltage nor damage caused by use of an improper
fuse. |
| |
| To set the radio up
for operation on a different voltage (as, for example, should you move from
Europe to the United States), proceed as follows: |
| |
| (1) |
Disconnect the power cord from
the rear of the FRG 7700. |
| |
| (2) |
Remove the label covering the
voltage selector control on the rear apron of the receiver. |
| |
| (3) |
Insert a screwdriver into the
slot on the voltage selector. Rotate the selector until the proper voltage is
at the very bottom of the selector, in line with the pointer. |
| |
| (4) |
If a change is made from 100/120
volts to 220/240 volts, or vice versa, be certain that you install a fuse of
the proper rating. For 100; 120 volts, use a I amp fuse, and for 220/240 volts,
use a 1 /2 amp fuse. |
| |
| (5) |
Make a small label to indicate
the new voltage specification for the receiver, and secure it over the voltage
selector. |
| |
| (6) |
Connect the power cord to the
rear panel "AC" jack, and plug the power plug into your wall outlet. |
| |
| (7) |
If you have any doubt about your
local supply voltage, ask your Yaesu dealer. Improper supply voltage must not
be applied to this instrument. |
