[. . . ] If there is any chance of stress on the cables to the transceiver, they should be supported independently, with a slack loop between their support and the FC-40. For base stations, the FC-40 may be mounted either on a flat surface such as the wooden board shown in Figure 1, or a 2. 16" - 2. 55" (55-65 mm) mast, using the supplied U-bolt kit shown in Figure 2. For mobile installations, the FC-40 should be bolted to a flat surface using either bolts or self-tapping screws (Figure 3) inside the trunk or cabin, as close to the base of the antenna as possible. Note that it can be mounted horizontally if well protected from the weather. After mounting the FC-40, connect the cables from the FC-40 to the ANT and TUNER (or CAT/LINEAR) jacks (depends on the transceiver) on the rear panel of the transceiver. Refer to the transceiver's Operating Manual for details of the interconnections with the transceiver. If you use the FC-40 with the Yaesu FT-857D/-897D transceiver, refer to the instructions on the opposite page of this manual for interconnection details.

See the instructions at the right side of this page for operation of the FC-40 with FT-857/-897 transceivers. FT-857D/-897D Tuner Operation 1. Press and hold in the F ( FUNC ) key for one second to activate the Menu mode. Rotate the MEM/VFO CH (FT-857D: SELECT ) knob to recall Menu Mode No-001 [EXT MENU], then rotate the DIAL to change the setting to "ON to enable the extended Menu ON" ON Mode. Rotate the MEM/VFO CH (FT-857D: SELECT ) knob to recall Menu Mode No-020 [CAT LIN TUN]. The default setCAT/LIN LIN/TUN ting for this Menu is "CAT Rotate the DIAL to change the CAT. " CAT setting to "TUNER TUNER. " TUNER 4. Press and hold in the F ( FUNC ) key for one second to save the new setting and exit, then turn the transceiver off. Set up the FC-40 and FT-897D/-857D per the illustration on the opposite page of this manual, then turn on the transceiver's power again. Do not set up the FC-40 and FT-897D/-857D before changing the Menu Mode, item No-020 [CAT/LIN/TUN]. Press and hold in the F ( FUNC ) key for one second to activate the Menu mode. Rotate the MEM/VFO CH (FT-857D: SELECT ) knob to recall Menu Mode No-085 [TUNER ATAS]. The default setting for TUNER/ATAS this Menu is "OFF Rotate the DIAL to change the setting to OFF. " OFF "TUNER TUNER. " TUNER 8. Press and hold in the F ( FUNC ) key for one second to save the new setting and exit. Press the F ( FUNC ) key, as needed, to recall Multi Function Row "k" [TUNE DOWN UP]. [. . . ] If the impedance encountered by the FC-40 exceeds 2:1, and the "HSWR" icon is illuminated, the microprocessor will not retain the tuning data for that frequency, as the FC-40 presumes that you will want to adjust or repair your antenna system so as to correct the high SWR condition.

All switches, except for the 4th switch of S1003, are for factory setup use only, and they should not be touched. If you accidentally set a switch to the wrong position, please refer to the table below to correct the situation. If the FC-40 doesn't tune even though you have pushed the TUNER switch of the transceiver, it may be because the antenna or its coaxial cable has a serious problem (very high or low impedance due to "open" or "short") or (the antenna element is near 1/2 wavelength or multiple of the desired frequency).
