Yaesu FT-60R - Manual (Page 9)

Overview
There are a huge number of
functions available on the
FT-60 and a limited
number of keys and knobs.
The solution chosen by the
developers was to give
almost every key three
meanings [6,7]. Some
meanings are selected by
context while others depend
on how long you hold down
the key.
This time aspect was very confusing to me. You think you are pushing the right
key but linger a little too long. Suddenly you are accessing a function you never
saw before and have no idea how to escape. I will attempt to cover these
unintended side trips as we move through the manual.
One critical thing to remember: no combination of key pushes can
damage your radio with one exception.
Never press the
Push To Talk key with the antenna disconnected.
This can cause the transmitter part of the FT-60
to be damaged.
