BEFORE YOU BEGIN EXTENDING THE FRONT FEET In order to elevate the front panel for easy viewing, the front left and right feet of the bottom case may be extended. Pull the front legs outward from the bottom panel. Rotate the legs counter-clockwise to lock them in the extended position. Be sure the legs have locked se- curely in place, because the transceiver is quite heavy and an unlocked leg could result in damage, should the transceiver move suddenly. Retracting the Front Feet Rotate

INSTALLATION AND INTERCONNECTIONS ANTENNA CONSIDERATIONS The FT-2000 is designed for use with any antenna system providing a 50 Ohm resistive impedance at the desired operating frequency. While minor excursions from the 50-Ohm specification are of no consequence, the transceiver’s Automatic Antenna Tuner may not be able to reduce the impedance mismatch to an acceptable value if the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) present at the Antenna jack is greater than 3:1. Every effort should, therefore, be made

INSTALLATION AND INTERCONNECTIONS GROUNDING The FT-2000 transceiver, like any other HF communications apparatus, requires an effective ground system for maximum electrical safety and best communications effectiveness. A good ground system can contribute to station efficiency in a number of ways: It can minimize the possibility of electrical shock to the operator. It can minimize RF currents flowing on the shield of the coaxial cable and the chassis of the transceiver; such currents may lead

INSTALLATION AND INTERCONNECTIONS CONNECTION OF ANTENNA AND POWER CABLES Please follow the outline in the illustration regarding the proper connection of antenna coaxial cables, as well as the AC power cable. Use a short, thick, braided cable to connect your station equipment to the buried ground rod (or alter- native earth ground system). ADVICE: Do not position this apparatus in a location with direct exposure to sunshine. Do not position this apparatus in a location exposed to dust and/or
