1-5-1 Keypad 
Keypad conventions 
Most keys have secondary functions , their functions are printed on the panel. However, 
due 
the restriction of available size, not all functions can be shown on the keypad printing.   
For the secondary functions of the AR-ONE, they are indicated with white characters above 
each key. To access the secondary function, push the FUNC key, and then push the 
respective key.

Connect the AR-ONE to the serial port of a computer using an RS-232C serial cable 
terminated in a 9-pin male connector. The RS-232C parameters may be defined using the 
CONFIG menu. Baud rates (transfer speed) set to either 4800 or 9600 bps. Since there are 
two independent RS-232C port with the...

2-1-2 Connect the antenna 
For reception on the all bands, connect the antenna to the N connector on the rear panel of   
the AR-ONE. An optional SA7000 Super Wideband Receiver is provided for this purpose. 
A receive frequency range of the SA7000 is 30 KHz ~ 2000 MHz. 
2-1-3 Connect power 
Connect the power to the DC power jack on the rear panel of the AR-ONE. Use either a 
supplied AC power adapter. Or a regulated DC power supply (12 ~ 14 V with capacity 2A)   
may be used. Do not connect to a...

LCD. It is normal, for the microprocessor of the AR-ONE generates the ‘boot up data’ 
required to control the receiver. 
 
2-3 Squelch Circuit 
In normal use, NOISE SQUELCH
 is used. However, LEVEL SQUELCH
 can be selected for 
search and scan operations. The LEVEL SQUELCH
 parameter causes the AR-ONE to   
check the signal strength of 
active frequencies and to only stop when the signal strength is 
above a preset level (which is programmable). 
 
To select LEVEL SQUELCH
, perform the following...
