Kenwood TM-255E - Manual (Page 5)

INTRODUCTION
FEATURES
• Convenient to transport, install and operate from
either a portable, mobile or fixed station
installation due to the compact size.
• Setting-up transceiver functions is simple with the
easy-to-use Menu System.
• Busy-Frequency Stop automatically stops any of
the scan functions on a busy frequency. Time-
operated and Carrier-operated modes are provided
for further flexibility.
• "Fuzzy logic" controls the frequency step size as
you turn the Main Tuning control. The faster you
turn the control, the larger the step size up to the
maximum step available.
• Automatic Power Off switches OFF the power if
the transceiver has not been used for
approximately 3 hours.
• Up to 4 functions can be assigned to the
Programmable Function (PF) keys on the
microphone allowing you to personally customize
your transceiver's operation.
• Despite the small overall case size, numerous
additional features have been included for the
VHF/UHF enthusiast.

ATTENTION
♦ Noise entering from the DC power supply or static electricity
may disable the buttons or the Tuning controls. If this occurs,
determine the source of the interference and take appropriate
measures to reduce or eliminate the offending noise. If the
transceiver still does not function normally, reset the
microprocessor {page 34}.
♦
Resetting the microprocessor clears the memory channels and
returns the menu settings (described later) to their default
values.
♦ This transceiver contains a cooling fan. As the heat sink
temperature rises because of continuous transmission, the fan
speed accelerates to its maximum speed, and the sound of the
fan will become more noticeable. If the heat sink temperature
becomes excessively high, the temperature protection circuit
will trip and reduce the transmit output power.
