Touch screen calibration function
The transceiver has a 2-step protection function to pro-
tect the final power amplifiers.
The protector monitors the power amplifier temperature
and activates when the temperature becomes extreme-
ly high.
• Reduced power transmission
Reduces the transmit output power.
“LMT” appears instead of the TX indicator during
transmit.
• Transmission inhibit
Deactivates the transmitter.
“HOT” blinks instead of the TX indicator.
When the protector is activated, wait until the power
amplifier cools down, using the transceiver in only the
stand-by or receive mode.
DO NOT turn the transceiver power OFF when the
protector is ON. If you do, the cooling fan will not
function and it will take longer to cool the transceiver.
The power amplifier temperature can be monitored
in the multi-function meter, TEMP gauge.
