Tatūnga me te Tāuta

He mea nui te tatūnga tika mō te mahi tino pai me te haumaru. Me whakarite kia mau te hononga katoa i mua i te whakakā i te waeine.

1. Hononga Mana

Connect the radio to a stable 13.8V DC power source. A 14.2V source is recommended for best performance. Ensure correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative) to prevent damage to the unit.

2. Hononga Antenna

Connect a suitable 10-meter amateur radio antenna to the UHF SO239 connector on the rear of the radio. Use high-quality coaxial cable with proper impedance (typically 50 ohms) for efficient power transfer and minimal signal loss. Ensure the antenna is properly tuned for the 10-meter band.

3. Hononga hopuoro

Plug the supplied microphone into the front microphone jack. Ensure the connector is fully seated.

4. Hia Tuatahi

Once all connections are made, turn the radio on using the ON/OFF/Volume control. The display should illuminate.
