[. . . ] Fire or electrical shock can result if water leaks in the equipment. Lead-in Insulator (High Voltage) WARNING Do not open the equipment. Hazardous voltage which can cause electrical shock exists inside the equipment. Immediately turn off the power at the switchboard if water leaks into the equipment or something is dropped in the equipment. Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result. Keep heater away from equipment. [. . . ] Turn the [FREQ/CH] control to fine tune the receiver on the wanted frequency. The cursor returns to the channel number. S-meter During reception, the meter works as a Sensitivity Meter indicating the relative signal strength coming into the receiver front end. While in transmission, it indicates output level at the transceiver. 0 2 4 6 8 10 S Figure 1-11 S-meter Note: S-meter will not work with AGC off. Monitoring traffic on intended transmit frequency When a semi-duplex (two-frequency simplex) channel is selected, it is recommended to monitor it if there is no existing traffic on the frequency you are going to use. The transceiver unit monitors traffic on the selected frequency for three sec. If you want to monitor continuously, press the [TX] key followed by the [ENT] key. 1-13 Receiving AM broadcasting stations 1. To tune in a 15, 260 kHz shortwave station, for instance, press as below: [RX], [1], [5], [2], [6], [0], [0], [ENT]. Be sure to enter the last zero. Squelch control Squelch is used to mute the receiver audio output when the receiver input is less than a preset value or dominant noise is higher than a preset (1000 Hz) frequency. To pick up a weak signal at high audio frequencies, you should remove the squelch function notwithstanding a possible increase of background noise. Make sure the label "SQ" goes off. Noise blanker (NB) The noise blanker clips inputs of noise resulting from an engine ignition or motor brush sparks. It can be enabled or disabled through the system settings. 1-14 1. 13 Frequency Scan Channel scan Scan is the function where the receiver watches 10/group user or ITU channels in succession at predetermined intervals. The scan-stop signal level and scan-stop time can be changed on system codes 9951 and 9952, respectively. Note that the loudspeaker on the FS-1501 is automatically turned on when a call from the RB-500 is received, regardless of setting. Terminating the intercom Press the [INT/0] key to terminate the intercom function. Release the [CH] key when "MEMO" appears on the display. System code Setting value MEMO Figure 3-1 System setting selection screen 2. Press the [CH] key, enter desired setting by a numeric key, then press the [ENT] key. Reset the power. 3. 2 Customizing by User The operator can customize several system settings. The table below shows the system codes and their function, setting range and factory setting. Note: FURUNO Electric Company will assume no responsibility for the inconvenience or disturbance to communications due to inadequate or unlawful presetting of this equipment. Code 9942 Function, Setting Key beep ON/OFF A beep sounds when a keying sequence is correctly executed. Factory setting: ON Noise blanker ON/OFF The noise blanker cancels unwanted noise. Factory setting: ON 9943 3-1 9951 Scan/sweep-stop signal level When the receiver detects a signal whose level is stronger than the preset level it stops scanning and receives the signal. The setting on system code 9955 is available only when "0" (SQ working condition) is selected here. Setting range: 0 (Squelch working condition is effective as set on code 9955), 1-10 (S-meter level); Factory setting: 3 9952 Scan/sweep-stop time When a signal is detected, the receiver stops scanning/sweeping and dwells on this channel frequency.
