er. However, for enhanced reception on certain non-Amateur frequencies, you may wish to con-

nect an antenna designed specifically for that frequency range, as the supplied antenna is necessarily a compromise outside the Amateur bands, and cannot be expected to provide high performance at all frequencies. To install the supplied antenna, hold the bottom end of the antenna, then screw it onto the mating connector on the transceiver until it is snug. Do not over-tight-

en by use of extreme force. Notes:

Never transmit without having an antenna connected. When installing the supplied antenna, never hold the upper part of the an-

tenna while screwing it onto the mating connector on the transceiver. If using an external antenna for transmission, ensure that the SWR present-

ed to the transceiver is 1.5:1 or lower, to avoid excessive feedline loss. installatiOn OF sbr-25li battery paCk The SBR-25LI is a high-performance Li-Ion battery providing high capacity in a compact package. Under normal use, the SBR-25LI may be used for approx-

imately 300 charge cycles, after which operating time may be expected to de-

crease. If you have an old battery pack which is displaying capacity which has become diminished, you should replace the pack with a new one. Installation of the battery is easy and quick:

Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment on the back of the radio while tilting the Belt Clip outward, then close the Battery Pack Latch until it locks in place with a Click. To remove the battery, turn the radio off and remove any protective cases. Open the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the radio, then slide the battery downward and out from the radio while tilting the Belt Clip out of the way. 4 FT-65R/E Operating ManualApplication for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620665X20 / IC: 511B-20665X20 installatiOn OF aCCessOries battery Charging If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by connecting the SAD-20 AC adapter to the SBH-22 desktop charger, and place the FT-65R/E in the desktop charger cradle. AC line outlet FT-65R/E / SBH-22 with SAD-20 A fully-discharged pack will be charged completely in 10 hours. Disconnect the SAD-20 from the EXT DC jack and the AC line outlet. If you use the SBH-22 Rapid Charger, a fully-discharged pack will charge completely in 2.5 - 3 hours

(de-pending on the battery being charged). Important Note The SAD-20 is not designed to power the transceiver for operation (re-

ception or transmission). Do not leave the SAD-20 connected to the transceiver for continuous periods in excess of 24 hours. Long term overcharging can degrade the Li-Ion battery pack and significantly shorten its useful life (European and Asian versions). Please be advised that the SAD-20 may contribute noise to TV and ra-

dio reception in the immediate vicinity, so we do not recommend its use adjacent to such devices. lOw battery indiCatiOn As your battery discharges during use, the voltage will gradually become lower. When the battery voltage is becoming too icon will blink low for reliable operation, the on the LCD display, indicating that the battery pack must be recharged before further use. Avoid recharging Li-Ion batteries before the indicator is observed, as this can degrade the charge capacity of your Li-

Ion battery pack. 5 FT-65R/E Operating ManualApplication for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620665X20 / IC: 511B-20665X20 OperatiOn switChing pOwer On and OFF Be sure the Battery Pack is installed, and that the battery is fully charged.

tem which allows free tuning throughout the currently-selected operating band. Three basic frequency navigation methods are available on the FT-65R/E:

1) Tuning Frequency Pressing the [] or [] key allows tuning in the pre-programmed steps estab-

lished for the current operating band. [] key causes the FT-65R/E to be tuned toward a higher frequency, while [] key will lower the operating frequency. 2) Direct Keypad Frequency Entry The desired operating frequency may be entered directly from the keypad. To enter a frequency from the keypad, just press the numbered digits on the keypad in the proper sequence. To enter 145.560 MHz, press [1] [4] [5] [5] [6] [0]

Examples:

3) Scanning Press and hold in either the [] or [] key for one second to initiate upward or downward scanning, re-

spectively (Manual VFO Scan). For scanning within a limited sub-band range, from the VFO mode, press and hold in the [#BAND] key for one second and to begin scanning toward a high-

er frequency within the previously-defined sub-band (Programmed VFO Scan). If you wish to reverse the direction of the scan (i.e. toward a lower frequency, instead of a higher frequency), just push the [] key while the FT-65R/E is scanning. The scanning direction will be reversed. To revert to scanning toward a higher frequency once more, push the []. The scanner will stop when it receives a signal strong enough to break through the Squelch threshold. The FT-65R/E will then hold on that frequency accord-

ing to the setting of the RESUME mode (Set Mode Item 25: RESUME). Press the PTT switch momentarily to cancel the scanning. This only stops the scan; it does not cause transmission to occur. 7 FT-65R/E Operating ManualApplication for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620665X20 / IC: 511B-20665X20 OperatiOn transMissiOn Once you have set up an appropriate frequency inside one of the 144 MHz or 430 MHz Amateur bands on which the FT-65R/E can transmit, youre ready to go on the air!

imposed on your FM carrier in order to activate the repeater. This helps prevent false activation of the repeater by radar or spurious signals from other transmit-

ters. This tone system, called CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch Sys-

tem), is included in your FT-65R/E, and is very easy to activate. 1. Press the F/W key, then press the [1] or [0] key to enable selection of the CTCSS/DCS mode. 2. Press the [] or [] key so that TONE indication appears on the dis-

play; this activates the CTCSS Encoder, for access to repeaters requiring a CTCSS tone. 3. Pressing the [] or [] key one more click in step 2 above will cause the TSQL notation to appear. When TSQL is displayed, this means that the Tone Squelch system is active, which mutes your FT-65R/Es receiver until it receives a call from another radio sending out a matching CTCSS tone. This can help keep your radio quiet until a specific call is received, which may be helpful while operating in congested areas of the band. 4. When you have made your selection of the CTCSS tone mode, press the PTT switch to save the new setting. 5. Press the F/W key, then press the

[2] key to enable adjustment of the CTCSS frequency. 6. Press the [] or [] key until the display indicates the Tone Frequen-

cy you need to be using (ask the repeater owner/operator if you dont know the tone frequency). 7. When you have made your selec-

It is a newer, more advanced tone system which generally provides more immunity from false paging than does CTCSS. The DCS Encoder/Decoder is built into your FT-65R/E, and operation is very similar to that just described for CTCSS. Your repeater system may be configured for DCS; if not, DCS is frequently quite useful in Simplex operation if your friend(s) use transceivers equipped with this advanced feature. Just as in CTCSS operation, DCS requires that you set the Tone Mode to DCS and that you select a tone code. 1. Press the F/W key, then press the [1] key to enable selection of the CTCSS/

ing band, or a portion of that band. It will halt on signals encountered, so you can talk to the station(s) on that frequency, if you like. Scanning operation is basically the same in each of the above modes. Before you begin, take a moment to select the way in which you would like the scanner to resume scanning after it halts on a signal. Setting the Scan-Resume Technique Three options for the Scan-Resume mode are available:

BUSY: In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. One seconds after the carrier has dropped because the other station(s) ceased trans-

mission, the scanner will resume. In the case of constant-carrier signals like Weather Station broadcasts, the scanner will likely remain on this frequency indefinitely. HOLD: In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. It will not re-

start automatically; you must manually re-initiate scanning if you wish to resume. TIME: In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters, and will hold there for five seconds. If you do not take action to disable the scanner within that time period, the scanner will resume even if the stations are still active. To set the Scan-Resume mode:

1. Press the F/W key, then press the [0 SET] key to enter the Set mode. 2. Press [] or [] key to select Set Mode Item 25:RESUME. 3. Press F/W key to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Items. 4. Press [] or [] key to select the desired scan-resume mode. 5. Press [PTT] Switch to save and exit to normal operation. The default condition for this Set Mode Item is BUSY. vFO sCanning The FT-65R/E provides two VFO scanning functions: Manual VFO Scanning and Programmed VFO Scanning. Manual VFO Scan 1. Press the [* V/M] key to set the VFO mode, if neccesary. 2. Press and hold [] or [] key for one second to initiate upward or down-

ward scanning,respectively. 3. Press and hold in either the [] or [] key for one second to initiate upward or downward scanning, respectively. If and when the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch, the scanner will halt temporarily; the decimal point of the frequency display will blink this Resuming condition. 4. 18 FT-65R/E Operating ManualApplication for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6620665X20 / IC: 511B-20665X20 sCanning 5.

How to Skip (Omit) a Channel during Memory Scan Operation As mentioned previously, some continuous-carrier stations like a Weather Broadcast station will seriously impede scanner operation if you are using the Carrier Drop Scan-Resume mode, as the incoming signal will not pause long enough for the transceiver to resume scanning. Such channels may be Skipped during scanning, if you like:
