Page 4 FTDX9000D OPERATION MANUALBefore You Begin. . .1. Connecting AC PowerThere are two power switches on this transceiver, one each on the rear and front panels. If the rear panel’s Power switch isnot turned on, the front panel Power switch will not function. Push the rear panel’s Powerswitch to the I positionto apply power from thepower supply to the OCXO(Reference Crystal Oven)and to enable the front panelpower switch. Press and hold in the frontpanel Power switch for twoseconds to turn the trans-ceiver on.NoteThe opening screen will appear on the TFT display, andthe self-check function of the CPU inside the radio willbegin. Then, the μ-Tuning circuitry will receive the datafrom the CPU, and it will perform its own self-check, andwill preset itself to the proper settings for the current op-erating frequency.While the μ-Tuning circuitry is obtaining the data, the drivemechanism will move from one end of its range to theother end (fast), and this will cause a temporary “motor”noise that can be heard; this, does not represent any troubleor problem.When the radio is turned on for the first time, it takes about50 seconds (from turning the radio on to completing theself- check) until the radio becomes ready to use; how-ever, from the next time you turn it on, it will take around10 seconds until the transceiver is ready for full opera-tion.2.
