18 FT-817ND Operating Manual
Hi! I’m R.F. Radio, and I’m here to guide you through the fine points of the setup
and use of your new FT-817ND. I know your anxious to get on the air, but I
encourage you to read the “Operation” section of this manual as thoroughly as possible,
so you’ll get the most out of this fantastic new rig. Now. . .let’s get operating!
TURNING THE TRANSCEIVER ON AND OFF
1. To turn the transceiver on, press and hold in
the switch for one second.
2. To turn the transceiver off, again press and
hold in the switch for one second.
The one-second delay helps you avoid ac-
cidental switching on (or off) of DC power.
SUPPLY VOLTAGE DISPLAY
When you turn on the transceiver, the DC supply voltage is indicated
in the upper right corner of the LCD for two seconds. After this in-
terval, the display will resume its normal indication of the operating
mode (VFOa, VFOb, or Memory Channel Number).
To view the supply voltage at any time during operation:
1. Press the key momentarily, then rotate the knob to select Operating Function
Row 11*
