Notice to the user:
One or more of the following statements
may be applicable to this equipment.
FCC WARNING
This equipment generates or uses radio
frequency energy. Changes or
modifications to this equipment may
cause harmful interference unless the
modifications are expressly approved in
the instruction manual. The user could
lose the authority to operate this
equipment if an unauthorized change or
modification is made.
Information to the digital device user |
required by the FCC:
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can generate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no
guarantee that the interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the
following measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
-- Increase the separation between
the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an
outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer for technical
assistance.

3. INSTALLATION AND
CONNECTION
3-1. INSTALLATION
3-1-1. Fixed Station
@ Front Bail
By extending the front bail, the front panel can be
elevated for operating convenience.
CAUTION
Do not carry the transceiver by holding the bail.
Grasp the handle on the right side to carry the
transceiver.
8-1-2. Mobile Installations
Secure the transceiver with the optional mounting
bracket. For the installation instructions, see the
MB-430 Instruction Manual.
3-2. CONNECTION
3-2-1. Fixed Station
The TS-450S/690S requires more than 20.5 A at
13.8 VDC when transmitting at full power.
Use the PS-53 power supply for fixed station
operation.
CAUTION
1. Before connecting the power supply, switch the
transceiver and the DC power supply off.
2. Do not plug the DC power supply into the AC
outlet until all the connections have been made.
