FCC ID: K6650013X20
IC: 511B-50013X20
Before You Begin
 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 indicator 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 SAD11 connected to the transceiver directly.
Important Notes:
 The SAD-11 is not designed to power the transceiver for operation (transmission).
 Do not leave the charger connected to the transceiver for continuous periods in excess of 24 hours.
Long term overcharging can degrade the Lithiumion battery pack and significantly 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 particular charger or battery pack you intend to use.
12
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. Always 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 rechargeable cells. The SBT-12 does not contain the thermal and over-current protection circuits (provided in the “SBR” series of Lithium-ion Battery Packs) required when utilizing NiCd and Ni-MH cells.
Low Battery Indication
 As your battery discharges during use, the voltage
will gradually become lower. When the battery voltage 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.

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
waterproofing 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 sufficient 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.

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 FTA750/FTA-550 will remain in the “awaking” mode, then
resume its “sleep” cycles. This feature significantly reduces 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 radio 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 Industrie 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 satisfaisante.
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification 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 (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification 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 modifications to this device not expressly approved by YAESU MUSEN could
void the user’s authorization to operate this device.
