4.4 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
a. Turn the radio on by setting its main switch to ON (up).
b. Adjust the volume control to a comfortable listening level.
c. You are now ready to start using the RM500/RM500R. For operating procedures, you
may use the information appearing in Publication 6886867J01, “Owner’s Guide,
MICOM 3E/3T/3R HF-SSB Transceivers”.
d. To turn the radio off, set its main switch to OFF (down).
4.5 BYPASSING THE 500W AMPLIFIER SECTION
The internal 500W amplifier section of the RM500/RM500R can be permanently
bypassed. In this case, you can still transmit at a power of up to 125W using the
capabilities of the MICOM 3 transceiver which is part of the RM500/RM500R.
You can bypass the 500W amplifier section in case the full transmit power of the
RM500/RM500R is not needed (for example, good communication conditions), to save
power (the maximum power consumption then decreases to approx. 500W), or when a
technical problem in the 500W amplifier section prevents its operation.
To bypass the 500W amplifier section, select NONE on the PROG>RAD>OPTS>ACC
menu.
