Operating Advice: Use of Internal Microphone Your FTA-750/FTA-550/FTA-450 are sealed against water ingress, which includes waterproof seals around the microphone and speaker enclosure. This requires that you focus your speech in the direction of the microphone’s location, so as to ensure sufficient voice input to the radio. Refer to the illustration and observe the location of the internal microphone. If you find it difficult to utilize the FTA-750/FTA-550/FTA-450 conveniently and safely while speaking directly into the microphone, we recommend the use of the SSM10A Speaker/Microphone (option), or an aftermarket aviation headset with boom microphone. 22 FTA-750/FTA-550/FTA-450 Operating Manual FCC ID: K6650013X20 IC: 511B-50013X20 Basic Operation Operation Bands When the FTA-750/FTA-550/FTA-450 are turned on for the first time, it enters the COMM mode and displays the COM band screen. The COMM mode is the basic operation mode of the FTA-750/FTA-550/FTA-450 that allows you to tune through either of the NAV (except for FTA-450) and COM bands using the DIAL knob or the keypad.
