To carry out the Set-Up procedure the radio must be installed into the Carrying Case and ready to use.
PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER FSG 90PC 3 Set-up Procedure 3.1 10. Selecting 'TX disabled' ON = 1 or OFF = 0 during receive 11. Service, ON = 1 or OFF = 0 12. Optional module, ON = 1 or OFF = 0 13. Entering a password: protects against unauthorized changes of the radio parameters. Calling SET-UP without password Calling the SET-UP procedure without password is possible: a) at factory-new radios FSG 90(X), or b) at radios which are reset to a factory basic setting (refer to § 3.4.
PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER FSG 90PC 3 Set-up Procedure Release the buttons. After releasing the buttons the display shows in the upper line alternately »FSG90« and »SET-UP«, in the lower line 5 dashes. If there is no activity for 60 seconds the radio will return to the mode used before. With the F/CH knob set the first digit of your password (the first dash changes to digit). Confirm the first digit by pressing the F/CH knob. The second digit is ready to be adjusted.
PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER FSG 90PC 3 Set-up Procedure supply indicator will light up to confirm storing visually. 3.4.1 Adjusting the automatic squelch threshold The display shows in the upper line alternately »SET« and »SQUEL«, in the lower line »LO«, »MED1«, »MED2« or »HI«. Adjust by rotating the F/CH knob the squelch threshold as required. The lower line shows: LO ca. 1.0 µV / -107 dBm (Standard setting) MED1 ca. 2.5 µV / -99 dBm MED2 ca. 5.0 µV / -93 dBm HI ca. 8.
PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER FSG 90PC 3 Set-up Procedure microphone one or two inches from your lips. While talking the microphone level is measured. By turning the F/CH knob left or right set the upper dash line to three to four segments (the lower dash line shows only informative the actual range). Release the PTT key and stop talking. RUN THE ENGINE IN CRUISING SPEED. Press and hold the PTT key for at least 5 seconds, do not talk! The upper dash line should show not more than one segment.
PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER FSG 90PC 3 Set-up Procedure 3.4.5 Adjusting the headset volume (receive) IMPORTANT! Receiving is possible via built-in loudspeaker and headphone. First set with the ON/OFF-VOL knob loudspeaker volume to a convenient level, and then adjust with the set-up procedure a suitable headphone volume. The display shows in the upper line alternately »SET« and »PHONE«. With the speaker noise or communication is audible.
PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER FSG 90PC 3 Set-up Procedure 3.4.7 Deleting occupied channel memories IMPORTANT! Only channel memory numbers from 5 99 can be deleted. Channel memories 1 to 4 may only be overwritten. On an occupied channel memory the channel memory number is displayed in the upper line, the associated frequency/channel name in the lower line. On a free channel memory the channel memory number is displayed in the upper line, the lower line shows »FREE«.
PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER FSG 90PC 3 Set-up Procedure 3.4.9 Selecting 'CHANNEL MODE ONLY' or 'NO RESTRICTION' IMPORTANT! For certain applications (usually ground operation only) selecting all frequencies by the operator may be restricted. Then transmitting and receiving is only possible in the CHANNEL MODE, preprogrammed before by authorized personnel. The display shows in the upper line alternately »SET« and »FREQ«, in the lower line »0« or »1«. Adjust by rotating the F/CH knob lower line to "0" or "1".
PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER FSG 90PC 3 Set-up Procedure 3.4.11 Service (ON/OFF) IMPORTANT! For approved Avionics Shops only! No regular operation in this mode! The display shows in the upper line alternately »SET« and »SERV«, in the lower line »0«. 0 = STANDARD MODE, Service OFF. If required, confirm adjustment by pressing the STO button! Carry on with the SET-UP procedure by pressing the MD button. 3.4.12 Optional module (ON/OFF) IMPORTANT! In this radio without function.

EXAMPLE: Channel Mode: Upper line: Lower line: USE/active frequency/channel name Channel memory number, associated Selecting another frequency/channel name than indicated: IMPORTANT! The appropriate operating frequency/channel name must be stored already in a channel memory (refer to paragraph 4.
PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER FSG 90PC 4 Operation 4.7 Receive (Listen) Operation After switching ON the radio the automatic squelch is always ON. If the display mode shall be changed: Push once or twice the MDbutton 4 . If the active frequency shall be changed: refer to paragraph 4.
PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER FSG 90PC 4 Operation IMPORTANT! Please keep radio discipline! Transmit only on a clear channel. Care for an all-round obstacle free location of your antenna; the called station should be within "line-of-sight" distance. Volume is very important. Increasing speaking levels while the lips are facing the microphone (distance 1" to 2") will increase clarity. Talk slow, make each word a precise and individual entity. The radio is equipped with a TX time-out-timer (2 minutes).
PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER FSG 90PC 4 Operation 4.9 Storing a new Frequency/Channel Name In each active operating mode (8.33/25 kHz mode or '25 kHz only' mode) up to 99 non-volatile channel memories can be user programmed. Channel memories of the non-active mode remain stored in the background. They are accessible after calling up the respective mode. IMPORTANT! Free selection of frequencies/channel names and new storing may be restricted due to Set-Up adjustment (refer to paragraph 3.4.
