Important notIce!
FCC RF Exposure Compliance Requirements for Occupational Use Only:
The FTA-750/FTA-550 have been tested and complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF ex-
posure limits for Occupational Use/Controlled Exposure Environment. In addition, it complies with the following Stan-
dards and Guidelines:
FCC 96-326, Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of Radio-Frequency Radiation.
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 (1997) Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Hu-
man Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
ANSI/IEEE C95.3-1992, IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromag-
netic Fields - RF and Microwave.
This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled environment. This radio is
restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where the radio operator must have the knowl-
edge to control its RF exposure conditions.
When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away
from your mouth and keep the antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from your head and body.
The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceeding 50%, in typical Push-to-Talk
congurations. DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle). Transmitting
more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
The radio is transmitting when the “TX” icon is displayed on the upper left corner of the screen of the radio.
You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT button.

Alkaline Battery Case Installation
The
supplied
SBT-12 Battery Case allows operation of
the FTA-750/FTA-550 using six “AA” size Alkaline
batteries.
When installing batteries, insert the (–) end first, then
press in the (+) end so the battery snaps into place. Al-
ways replace all six batteries at the same time, paying
attention to the polarity indicated inside the case.
The SBT-12 must not be used with re-
chargeable cells. The SBT-12 does not con-
tain the thermal and over-current protec-
tion circuits (provided in the “SBR” series of Lith-
ium-ion Battery Packs) required when utilizing Ni-
Cd and Ni-MH cells.
Low Battery Indication
As your battery discharges during use, the voltage
will gradually become lower. When the battery volt-
age reaches 6.0 Volts, the “ ” icon will blink on
the LCD display indicating that the battery pack
must be recharged before further use.
Avoid recharging Lithium-ion batteries before the
“Low Battery” indicator is observed, as this can
degrade the charge capacity of your Lithium-ion
battery pack. YAESU recommends that you carry an
extra, fully-charged pack with you so you will not
lose communications capability due to a depleted
Lithium-ion battery.
You may insert the cable plug of the SAD-11
into the EXT DC jack located on the right side
of the transceiver directly.
4. If the transceiver is inserted correctly, the RED indi-
cator on the SBH-11 will glow. A fully-discharged
pack will be charged completely in 4 hours.
It takes 5 hours for full charge with the SAD-
11 connected to the transceiver directly.
Important Notes:
The
SAD-11 is not designed to power the trans-
ceiver for operation (transmission).
Do not leave the charger connected to the trans-
ceiver for continuous periods in excess of 24 hours.
Long term overcharging can degrade the Lithium-
ion battery pack and signicantly shorten its useful
life.
If using a charger other than the SAD-11, SBH-11,
or if using a battery pack other than the SBR-12LI,
follow the appropriate instructions provided with
the charger/battery. Contact your Dealer if you have
any doubts about the appropriateness of the particu-
lar charger or battery pack you intend to use.

Precautions
The
FTA-750/FTA-550 are capable of two-way
communication on channels used for critical avia-
tion safety communications. Therefore, it is impor-
tant that this radio be kept away from children or
other unauthorized users at all times.
Do not dispose of the Lithium-ion battery pack in a
re. Do not carry a Lithium-ion battery pack in your
pocket, where keys or coins could short the termi-
nals. This could create a serious fire/burn danger,
and possibly cause damage to the Lithium-ion pack.
The
FTA-750/FTA-550 are designed to have the
waterproof capability equivalent to IPX-5. Do not
allow the radio to become submerged, and do not
subject it to water spray under pressure.

Operating Advice: Use of Internal Microphone
Your FTA-750/FTA-550 are extensively sealed against water ingress, so as to ensure
reliable operation even if it has become submerged. This unique construction includes
waterproong seals around the microphone and speaker enclosure, requiring that care be
exercised when speaking into the internal microphone.
Please refer to the illustration, and observe the location of the internal microphone. It is
important that you focus your speech in the direction of the microphone’s location, so as
to ensure sufcient voice input to the radio.
If you find it difficult to utilize the FTA-750/FTA-550 conveniently and safe while
speaking directly into the microphone, we recommend the use of the SSM-10A Speaker/
Microphone (option), or an after-market aviation headset/boom microphone.

Operation Bands
When the FTA-750/FTA-550 are turned on for the rst
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 that
allows you to tune
through either of the NAV and COM bands using the DIAL
knob or the keypad.
NAV band (108.000 - 117.975
MHz):
Band for navigation utilizing data signals emitted by
VOR (VHF omnidirectional range) stations and ILS
(instrument landing system) of airports.
COM band (118.000 - 136.975
MHz):
Band for communication utilizing audio signals.
When the FTA-750/FTA-
550 receive a data signal
associated with VOR or
ILS, the display will auto-
matically switch to the NAV
band screen which shows a
CDI (course deviation indi-
cator) based on the received
signal, and “
NAV
”, which
indicates that the FTA-750/
FTA-550 are on the NAV
band, appears on the dis-
play.

Saving the Battery during Reception
One of the important features of the FTA-750/FTA-550
are its battery saver, which “puts the radio to sleep” for
a time interval, periodically “waking it up” to check for
activity. If somebody is talking on the channel, the FTA-
750/FTA-550 will remain in the “awaking” mode, then
resume its “sleep” cycles. This feature signicantly re-
duces quiescent battery drain.
To activate the battery saver, select one of the following
interval time ratios on the item “BATTERY SAVE” of the
CONFIGURATION menu in the SETUP mode.
50% ... Sleeps for 100 ms after 100 ms awaking
70% ... Sleeps for 250 ms after 100 ms awaking

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential ra-
dio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner
avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Indus-
trie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres
utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée
quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépassepas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satis-
faisante.
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certication number, or model number if Category II) has
been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum
permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not
included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly
prohibited for use with this device.
Le présent émetteur radio (identier le dispositif par son numéro de certication ou son numéro de
modèle s’il fait partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner
avec les types d’antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l’impédance
requise pour chaque type d’antenne. Les types d’antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain
est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l’exploitation de l’émetteur.
Part 15.21: Changes or modications to this device not expressly approved by YAESU MUSEN could
void the user’s authorization to operate this device.
