Select safe, convenient locations inside your vehicle that minimize danger to your passengers and yourself while the vehicle is in motion. For example, consider installing the front panel under the dash in front of the passenger seat so that knees or legs will not strike the panel during sudden braking of your vehicle. Try to pick well-ventilated locations that are shielded from direct sunlight. Note: Unlike the previous KENWOOD mobile transceivers, this transceiver does not allow the front panel and main unit to be joined. n Installation Example MODULAR PLUG CABLE CONNECTION Use the supplied modular plug cable to connect the front panel to the main unit. 2 DC POWER CABLE CONNECTION n Mobile Operation The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12 V. Never connect the transceiver to a 24 V battery. Be sure to use a 12 V vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity. If the current to the transceiver is insufficient, the display may darken during transmission, or transmit output power may drop excessively. 1 Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly to the vehicles battery terminals using the shortest path from the transceiver. If using a noise filter, it should be installed with an insulator to prevent it from touching metal on the vehicle. It is not recommended to use the cigarette lighter socket since some cigarette lighter sockets introduce an unacceptable voltage drop. If the power cable must be routed through a hole in the vehicle chassis or body, for example in the firewall at the front of the passenger compartment, use a rubber grommet to protect the cable from abrasion. Dismantle the fuse holder to pass the cable through the firewall. 2 After the cable is in place, wind heat-resistant tape around the fuse holder to protect it from moisture. Tie down the full run of cable. 3 To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect other wiring from the negative () battery terminal before connecting the transceiver. 4 Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, and attach the power cable to the battery terminals; red connects to the positive (+) terminal, black connects to the negative () terminal. Use the full length of the cable without cutting off excess even if the cable is longer than required. In particular, never remove the fuse holders from the cable. Red Fuse holder Black 5 Reconnect any wiring removed from the negative terminal. 6 Connect the DC power cable to the transceivers power supply connector. Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab clicks. The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is isolated from heat, moisture, and the engine secondary (high voltage) ignition system/ cables. 3 2 Connect the transceivers DC power connector to the connector on the DC power cable. Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab clicks. Note:
u For your transceiver to fully exhibit its performance capabilities, the following optional power supply is recommended:
PS-33 (20.5 A, 25% duty cycle). u Before connecting the DC power supply to the transceiver, be sure to switch the transceiver and the DC power supply OFF. u Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all connections. n Fixed Station Operation In order to use this transceiver for fixed station operation, you will need a separate 13.8 V DC power supply that must be purchased separately. The recommended current capacity of your power supply is 12 A. 1 Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply and check that polarities are correct
(Red: positive, Black: negative). DO NOT directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet!
Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a regulated power supply. Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires. Fuse holder Regulated DC power supply Red (+) Black () To AC outlet 4 n Replacing Fuses If the fuse blows, determine the cause then correct the problem. After the problem is resolved, replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your dealer or nearest Service Center for assistance. noitacoLesuF reviecsnarT yrosseccAdeilppuS elbaCrewoPCD gnitaRtnerruCesuF A51 A02 Only use fuses of the specified type and rating; otherwise the transceiver could be damaged. Note: If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle battery is not fully charged, or when the engine is OFF, the battery may become discharged, and will not have sufficient reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid using the transceiver under these conditions. ANTENNA CONNECTION Before operating, you must first install an efficient, well-tuned antenna. The success of your installation will depend largely on the type of antenna and its correct installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if the antenna system and its installation is given careful attention. You should choose a 50 W the transceiver input impedance. Use low-loss coaxial feed line that also has a characteristic impedance of 50 W lines having an impedance other than 50 W efficiency of the antenna system, and can cause interference to nearby broadcast television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic equipment. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed reduces the impedance antenna to match u Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting. u All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and transceiver damage. 5 ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS n External Speakers If you plan to use external speakers, choose speakers with an impedance of 8 W speaker jacks accept a 3.5 mm (1/8") mono (2-
conductor) plug. Recommended speakers include the SP-50B and SP-41. The external For the U.S.A./ Canada version, a microphone hanger is supplied. Attach the hanger at an appropriate position using the screws included in the screw set. n Microphone To communicate in the voice modes, connect a 600 W microphone equipped with an 8-pin modular plug into the modular socket on the front of the main unit. Press firmly on the plug until the locking tab clicks. 6 YOUR FIRST QSO YOUR FIRST QSO If you tend to discard instruction manuals along with the packaging material .....please dont. The 7 steps given here will get you on the air in your first QSO right away. So, you can enjoy the exhilaration that comes with opening a brand new transceiver.

MIC KEYPAD DIRECT ENTRY
(U.S.A./ CANADA ONLY) The keypad on the MC-53DM allows you to make various entries depending on which mode the transceiver is in. In VFO or Memory Recall mode, use the Mic keypad to select a frequency {page XX} or memory channel number {page XX}. In Tone or CTCSS freq. Select mode, use the Mic keypad to select a Tone frequency
{page XX} or CTCSS frequency {page XX}. First press the Mic PF key programmed as the ENTER key {page XX}. To manually send a DTMF number, press and hold Mic
[PTT], then press the DTMF keys on the Mic keypad
{page XX} in sequence. 16 OPERATING BASICS SWITCHING POWER ON/OFF 1 Switch ON the DC power supply. If operating mobile, skip this step. 2 Press the PWR switch to switch ON the transceiver. ADJUSTING VOLUME Turn the VOL control clockwise to increase the audio level and counterclockwise to decrease the audio level. 3 To switch OFF the transceiver, press the PWR switch again. 4 If operating as a fixed station, switch OFF the DC power supply. You may skip step 3. After switching ON the transceiver, you can switch it OFF or ON using only the power switch on the DC power supply. If background noise is inaudible because of the Squelch function, press the Mic PF key assigned the Monitor function {page XX}, then adjust the VOL control. Press the PF key again to cancel the Monitor function. SELECTING A BAND Press the right [BAND SEL] to select band A, or the left
[BAND SEL] to select band B. PTT moves to the selected band. For band A and B, see page XX. 17 ADJUSTING SQUELCH The purpose of the Squelch it to mute the speaker when no signals are present. With the squelch level correctly set, you will hear sound only when actually receiving signals. The higher the squelch level selected, the stronger the signals must be to receive. The appropriate squelch level depends on ambient noise conditions. Turn the SQL control when no signals are present. Select the squelch level at which the background noise is just eliminated. SELECTING A FREQUENCY 1 Press [VFO] to select VFO mode. 2 To increase the frequency, turn the Tuning control clockwise or press Mic [UP]. To decrease the frequency, turn the Tuning control counterclockwise or press Mic [DWN]. The current squelch level is incorrect. Pressing and holding Mic [UP]/ [DWN] causes the frequency to step repeatedly. To change frequencies in steps of 1 MHz, press [MHz]
first. Pressing [MHz] again cancels this function. To change frequencies in steps of 10 MHz, press
[F]+[MHz] first; do not press [F] for longer than 1 second. Pressing [F] cancels the 10 MHz function;
pressing [MHz] starts the 1 MHz function. You can also select frequencies via the microphone keypad. See DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY {page XX}. The current squelch level is correct. 18 TRANSMITTING 1 To transmit, press and hold Mic [PTT] and speak into the microphone in a normal tone of voice. ON AIR and the RF power meter appear. n Selecting Output Power Its wise to select lower transmit power if communication is still reliable. This lowers the risk of interfering with others on the band. When operating from battery power, you will enjoy more operating time before a charge is necessary. Press [LOW] to select high (H), medium (M), or low (L) power. The default is high. You can program a different power for band A and B. Speaking too close to the microphone, or too loudly, may increase distortion and reduce intelligibility of your signals at the receiving station. The RF power meter shows the relative transmit output power. 2 When you finish speaking, release Mic [PTT]. Time-Out Timer: Holding down Mic [PTT] for more than 10 minutes causes the transceiver to generate a beep and stop transmitting. Release, then press Mic [PTT] to resume transmitting. You may change the time-out time to 3 or 5 minutes {page XX}. u Do not transmit at high output power for an extended period of time. The transceiver could overheat and malfunction. u Continuous transmission causes the heat sink to overheat. Never touch the heat sink when it may be hot.

OPERATING THROUGH REPEATERS Repeaters, which are often installed and maintained by radio clubs, are usually located on mountain tops or other elevated locations. Generally they operate at higher ERP (Effective Radiated Power) than a typical station. This combination of elevation and high ERP allows communications over much greater distances than communications without using repeaters. Most repeaters use a receive and transmit frequency pair with a standard or non-standard offset (odd-split). In addition, some repeaters must receive a tone from the transceiver to allow it to access. For details, consult your local repeater reference. Offset Programming Flow q Select a band. w Select a receive frequency. e Select an offset direction. r Select an offset frequency.
(Only when programming odd-split repeater frequencies) t Activate the Tone function.
(If necessary) y Select a tone frequency.
(If necessary) If you store the above data in a memory channel, you need not reprogram every time. See MEMORY CHANNELS {page XX}. 26 PROGRAMMING OFFSET First select band A or B by pressing the left or right
[BAND SEL]. To recall the sub-band next, press [F], then the same [BAND SEL]. n Selecting Offset Direction Select whether the transmit frequency will be higher
(+) or lower () than the receive frequency. Press [F], [SHIFT] to switch the offset direction.
+ or appears to indicate which offset direction is selected. n Selecting Offset Frequency To access a repeater which requires an odd-split frequency pair, change the offset frequency from the default which is used by most repeaters. The default offset frequency on the VHF band is 600 kHz no matter which market version; the default on the UHF band is 5 MHz (TM-D700A) or 1.6 MHz (TM-D700E). 1 Press [MNU] to enter Menu mode. 2 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select RADIO (1), then press [OK]. 3 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select REPEATER (17), then press [OK]. 4 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select OFFSET FREQUENCY (171), then press [OK]. To program 7.6 MHz offset on the TM-D700E (UHF only), repeatedly press [F], [SHIFT] until = appears. If the offset transmit frequency falls outside the allowable range, transmitting is inhibited. Use one of the following methods to bring the transmit frequency within the band limits:
Move the receive frequency further inside the band. Change the offset direction. Note: While using an odd-split memory channel or transmitting, you cannot change the offset direction. 5 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select the appropriate offset frequency. The selectable range is from 0.00 MHz to 29.95 MHz in steps of 50 kHz. 6 Press [OK] to complete the setting. 7 Press [MNU] to exit Menu mode. TM-D700E Only: If you have selected = for the offset direction, you cannot change the default (7.6 MHz). Note: After changing the offset frequency, the new offset frequency will also be used by Automatic Repeater Offset. 27 n Activating Tone Function Press [TONE] to activate the Tone function. T appears when the Tone function is ON. 2 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select the appropriate tone frequency. Each press of [TONE] changes the selection as Tone >
CTCSS > DCS > No selection. Note:

TRANSMITTING A 1750 Hz TONE Most of the repeaters in Europe require that a transceiver transmit a 1750 Hz tone. On a TM-D700E, simply pressing Mic [CALL] causes it to transmit a 1750 Hz tone. It is also possible to program [CALL] on the front panel as a button for transmitting a 1750 Hz tone. 1 Press [MNU] to enter Menu mode. 2 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select RADIO (1), then press [OK]. 3 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select REPEATER (17), then press [OK]. 4 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select 1750Hz TONE (17 3), then press [OK]. Some repeaters in Europe must receive continuous signals for a certain period of time, following a 1750 Hz tone. This transceiver is also capable of remaining in the transmit mode for 2 seconds after transmitting a 1750 Hz tone. 1 Press [MNU] to enter Menu mode. 2 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select RADIO (1), then press [OK]. 3 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select REPEATER (17), then press [OK]. 4 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select TX HOLD (174), then press [OK]. 5 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select 1750 Hz. 6 Press [OK] to complete the setting. 7 Press [MNU] to exit Menu mode. 1750 appears in place of CALL as the button label. Note:
u All market versions allow the above selection in Menu 173. u All market versions allow any Mic PF key to be assigned the 1750 Hz Tone function {page XX}. u The transceiver continuously transmits a 1750 Hz tone until you release Mic [CALL], or [CALL]. 30 5 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to switch the function ON (or OFF). 6 Press [OK] to complete the setting. 7 Press [MNU] to exit Menu mode. Note:
u All market versions allow the above selection in Menu 174. u While remaining in the transmit mode, the transceiver does not continuously transmit a 1750 Hz tone. REVERSE FUNCTION The reverse function exchanges a separate receive and transmit frequency. So, while using a repeater, you can manually check the strength of a signal that you receive directly from the other station. If the stations signal is strong, both stations should move to a simplex frequency and free up the repeater. AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECK (ASC) While using a repeater, ASC periodically monitors the strength of a signal that you receive directly from the other station. If the stations signal is strong enough to allow direct contact without a repeater, the ASC indicator on the display begins blinking. Press [REV] (1 s) to switch the function ON. The ASC indicator appears when the function is ON. Press [REV] to switch the Reverse function ON (or OFF). R appears when the function is ON. Note:
u If pressing [REV] places the transmit frequency outside the allowable range, then pressing Mic [PTT] causes an error beep to sound;
transmission is inhibited. u If pressing [REV] places the receive frequency outside the allowable range, an error beep sounds and no reversal occurs. u Automatic Repeater Offset does not function while Reverse is ON. u You cannot switch Reverse ON or OFF while transmitting. While direct contact is possible, the ASC indicator blinks. To quit the function, press [REV]. Note:
u Pressing Mic [PTT] causes the ASC indicator to quit blinking. u ASC does not function if your transmit and receive frequencies are the same (simplex operation). u ASC does not function while scanning. u Activating ASC while using Reverse switches Reverse OFF. u If you recall a memory channel or the Call channel that contains Reverse ON status, ASC is switched OFF. u ASC causes receive audio to be momentarily intermitted every 3 seconds. 31 TONE FREQ. ID This function scans through all tone frequencies to identify the incoming tone frequency on a received signal. You may use the function to find which tone frequency is required by your local repeater. 1 Press [TONE] to switch ON the Tone function. T appears when the Tone function is ON. 2 Press [F], [T.SEL]. The current tone frequency appears and blinks. 3 Press [SCAN] to activate the Tone Freq. ID. T SCAN appears. 2 Press [OK] to program the identified frequency in place of the currently set tone frequency. The previous frequency display is restored with the Tone function remained ON. You may press [TONE] to switch the Tone function OFF. Press [ESC] if you do not want to program the identified frequency. Press [SCAN] while the identified frequency is blinking, to resume scanning. To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning control clockwise (upward scan) or counterclockwise
(downward scan). You can also press Mic [UP]/ [DWN]. To quit the function, press [ESC]. When the tone frequency is identified, the identified frequency appears and blinks. 32 MEMORY CHANNELS In memory channels, you can store frequencies and related data that you often use. Then you need not reprogram those data every time. You can quickly recall a programmed channel by simple operation. A total of 200 memory channels are available for bands A and B. The data listed below can be stored in each memory channel:

These examples may not represent applications useful to you, but you will understand the flexibility of this function. Situation 1 Situation 1 You share your transceiver with other members in your family or club. However, each individual has personal preferences for how they like to set various functions. You have to keep changing many settings each time you use the transceiver. Solution Solution Because 5 PM channels are available, up to 5 persons can separately program the transceiver and store their customized environment. Then each person can quickly change to his or her favorite settings, simply by recalling a PM channel. It is too much trouble to change back the settings after somebody else has reconfigured them. So this application may avoid having a feature-rich transceiver but never using many useful features. Situation 2 Situation 2 Solution Solution While operating mobile on the way to work every morning, you prefer a silent transceiver that does not interrupt the morning calm. In addition, you feel that a bright display is a waste of electricity in sunlight. At night when driving home, you realize the Beep function truly serves a purpose and you acknowledge it is nice to see a bright display after dark. Situation 3 Situation 3 You cannot figure out how you can make the transceiver exit the current mode. In two PM channels, store the same operating data such as frequency, offset, tone, etc., and store different settings for the Display Dimmer and Beep functions. Then you can quickly recall the best settings for day or night operating. Solution Solution Simply recall PM channel 1 that contains an exact copy of the transceiver default environment except for the display illumination level. You will not lose the contents of any memory channels. 41 STORING IN PM CHANNELS 1 Confirm that the following conditions have been satisfied:
The transceiver is in the receive mode. Scan is not being used. Microphone Control is OFF. 2 Select the desired band. 3 Select the desired frequency and related data (Tone, CTCSS, etc.) using VFO mode. 4 If required, select another band, then select the desired frequency and related data. 5 Press [F], [P.IN]. The PM channel numbers appear and blink. 6 Press [1] to [5] corresponding to the desired PM channel. The selected frequency and related data are stored in the PM channel. RECALLING A PM CHANNEL 1 Press [PM]. The PM channel numbers 1 to 5 appear at the bottom of the display. The current PM channel number appears and blinks at the upper right corner. If in Auto PM Store mode {page XX}, the current PM channel number appears with >; ex. >PM1. 2 Press [1] to [5] corresponding to the desired PM channel. The contents of the selected channel are recalled. Press [OFF] to exit PM Recall mode, Note: You cannot recall a PM channel while transmitting. 42 AUTO PM CHANNEL STORE After you recalled a PM channel, this function automatically overwrites the current PM channel with the present operating environment when:
You recall another PM channel. You press [OFF]. You switch OFF the transceiver. The factory default of this function is ON. 1 Press [MNU] to enter Menu mode. 2 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select RADIO (1), then press [OK]. 3 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select MEMORY (14), then press [OK]. 4 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select AUTO PM STORE (1 43), then press [OK].

Becoming comfortable with all types of Scan will increase your operating efficiency. This transceiver provides the following types of scans plus Visual Scan {page XX}. Visual Scan graphically and simultaneously shows how frequencies in a specific range are busy. epyTnacS nacSOFV nacSyromeM nacSpuorG nacSmargorP nacSzHM nacSOFV/llaC nacSyromeM/llaC egnaRnacS ehtnoelbanutseicneuqerfllA dnab yromemehtniderotsseicneuqerF slennahc yromemehtniderotsseicneuqerF ehtotgnolebhcihwslennahc puorgdeificeps egnarehtniseicneuqerfllA dnabehtnodetceles zHM1anihtiwseicneuqerfllA egnar OFVtnerrucehtsulplennahcllaC ycneuqerf detcelesehtsulplennahcllaC lennahcyromem Note:
u Adjust the squelch level before using Scan. Selecting a squelch level too low could cause Scan to stop immediately. u While using CTCSS or DCS, Scan stops for any signal received;
however, you will hear audio only when the signal contains the same CTCSS tone or DCS code that you selected. u When using S-meter Squelch, Scan stops when the received signal strength matches or exceeds the S-meter setting. Scan resumes 2 seconds after the signal level drops below the S-meter setting. u Starting Scan switches OFF the Automatic Simplex Check. 44 VISUAL SCAN While you are on the air, Visual Scan allows you to monitor frequencies near the current operating frequency. Visual Scan graphically and simultaneously shows how all frequencies in the selected range are busy. You will see up to 21 segments, for each channel, that represent 7 S-meter levels (3 segments per level). You will determine the scan range by selecting the center frequency and the number of channels. The default number of channels is 61. n Selecting the Number of Channels 1 Press [MNU] to enter Menu mode. 2 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select RADIO (1), then press [OK]. 3 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select AUX (19), then press [OK]. 4 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select VISUAL SCAN (1 92), then press [OK]. 5 Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select 31, 61 (default), 91, or 181. 6 Press [OK] to complete the setting. 7 Press [MNU] to exit Menu mode. 45 n Using Visual Scan 1 Select the desired band. 2 Turn the Tuning control, or press Mic [UP]/

to switch the CTCSS function OFF. Press [ESC] if you do not want to program the identified frequency. Press [SCAN] while the identified frequency is blinking, to resume scanning. Note: Received signals are audible while scanning is in progress. After programming one of the Mic PF keys as the ENTER key {page XX}, you can also select a CTCSS frequency by direct entry from the Mic keypad. In step 3, press [ENTER], then enter 01 to 38 shown in the table
{page XX}. To select 100 Hz, for example, press
[ENTER], [0], [1], [2]. Note:
u You can select a separate tone frequency for the CTCSS and Tone functions. u You cannot use the CTCSS with the Tone or DCS function. u If you select a high tone frequency, receiving audio or noise that contains the same frequency portions may cause CTCSS to function incorrectly. To prevent noise from causing this problem, select an appropriate noise squelch level {page XX}. CTCSS FREQ. ID This function scans through all CTCSS frequencies to identify the incoming CTCSS frequency on a received signal. You may find it useful when you cannot recall the CTCSS frequency that the other persons in your group are using. 1 Press [TONE] to switch ON the CTCSS function. CTCSS appears when the CTCSS function is ON. 2 Press [F], [T.SEL]. The current CTCSS frequency appears and blinks. 54 DIGITAL CODE SQUELCH (DCS) Digital Code Squelch (DCS) is another application which allows you to ignore (not hear) unwanted calls. It functions the exact same way as CTCSS. Only the differences are the encode/ decode method and the number of selectable codes. DCS uses a burst digital pulse to encode signals while CTCSS uses continuous tones. For DCS, you can select from 104 different codes listed in the table. Because digital pulses can be inverted, the actual number of selections reaches 208
(104 x 2). You can select Normal or Inverse for each code. 320 520 620 130 230 630 340 740 150 350 450 560 170 270 370 470 411 511 611 221 521 131 231 431 341 541 251 551 651 261 561 271 471 502 212 322 522 622 342 442 542 642 152 252 552 162 362 562 662 172 472 603 113 513 523 133 233 343 643 153 653 463 563 173 114 214 314 324 134 234 544 644 254 454 554 264 464 564 664 305 605 615 325 625 235 645 565 606 216 426 726 136 236 456 266 466 307 217 327 137 237 437 347 457 USING DCS 1 Press the left or right [BAND SEL] to select band A or B.

The Sky Command 2 allows remote control of a TS-570D, TS-570S, or TS-870S HF transceiver. Besides the HF transceiver, this system requires two transceivers capable of working the Sky Command 2. This transceiver and TH-D7A handhelds are currently available. You will use one transceiver as a control station called Commander. The transceiver connected with the HF transceiver is called Transporter. It will function as an interface between the Commander and the HF transceiver. This system allows you, for example, to watch for and hunt DX while washing your car, or to operate the HF transceiver while relaxing in your car, living room, or patio, instead of in your shack. 74 CONNECTING THE TRANSPORTER WITH THE HF TRANSCEIVER Note:
u Switch OFF both the Transporter and HF transceiver before making the connection. u The Transporter automatically transmits its call sign in Morse at regular intervals because of the legal requirement; therefore, transmit sidetone must be output from the HF transceiver. On TS-570D or TS-570S, do not select OFF in Menu 21. On TS-870S, use the MONI control to adjust the volume of sidetone. u When the Transporter is too close to the HF transceiver, unwanted feedback may cause malfunction. u Do not share a regulated power supply between the Transporter and the HF transceiver. Unwanted feedback may cause malfunction. 75 PREPARATION FLOW The following steps should guide you to a good start of Sky Command operation.
