“Point” memory
The FTM-350 Series Transceiver has 16 “point” memories (four channels in each
of four groups), which store the position (Longitude/Latitude) and the date.
When your vehicle nears one of the “Point” memories, the “Nav” pop-up window
will open for ten seconds even if another page is being displayed.
You may customize the length of time the window opens via Set mode item “H03
NAVI POPUP” in the “NAVI” group. In addition, the “date” may be changed to a
place or name, using the following procedure:
1. Press the [PLIST] key to open the “Point” memory list.
2. Rotate the left side [DIAL] knob to select the “Point” memory “date” to be
changed.
3. Press the left side [DIAL] knob to show the detail data of the “Point” memory.
4. Press the left side [DIAL] knob again to enable editing of the stored data.

key again to initiate navigation.
Important Note: You cannot change the “Point” memory of the APRS station that
is designated as the destination.
Important Note
When the GPS Antenna Unit is first turned on, it may take several minutes to
complete a fix of your position. This is normal, as the GPS unit is downloding
“almanac” information from the GPS satellites.
Advice
You may acquire your current position (Longitude/Latitude) from an aftermarket
GPS receiver by connecting an aftermarket GPS receiver to the DATA jack, and
setting Set Mode item “E16 COM PORT SETTING” in the “APRS/PKT” group
to “GPS IN”. See page 72 on the APRS manual for details.
The FTM-350 Series Transceiver enables navigating to any destination previously entered
into the “Point” memory. Furthermore, you may enable navigating to the location of an-
other APRS station by using the APRS feature. See page 32 in the APRS manual for details.
Before beginning Navigation, the “NAVI” page must be enabled via Set Mode item “C01
DISPLAY SELECT” in the “DISPLAY” group. See page 37.

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Inspect the transceiver visually immediately upon opening the packing carton. Confirm
that all controls and switches work freely, and inspect the cabinet for any damage. Gently
shake the transceiver to verify that no internal components have been shaken loose due to
rough handling during shipping.
If any evidence of damage is discovered, document it thoroughly and contact the shipping
company (or your local dealer, if the unit was purchased over-the-counter) so as to get
instructions regarding the prompt resolution of the damage situation. Be certain to save the
shipping carton, especially if there are any punctures or other evidence of damage incurred
during shipping. If it is necessary to return the unit for service or replacement, use the
original packing materials. Then put the entire package inside another packing carton to
preserve the evidence of shipping damage for insurance purposes.
INSTALLATION TIPS
To ensure long life of the components, be certain to provide adequate ventilation around the
cabinet of the transceiver.
Do not install the transceiver on top of another heat-generating device (such as a power
supply or amplifier) and in a location exposed to dust and/or high humidity. Avoid heating
vents and window locations that could expose the transceiver to excessive direct sunlight,
especially in hot climates. This transceiver should not be used in an environment where the
ambient temperature exceeds +140 °F (+60 °C).
Do not attempt to drive your vehicle while making a telephone or auto patch call
while using the optional DTMF microphone. Pull over to the side of the road, whether
dialing manually or using the auto-dial feature.
Do not connect the modular connector of the telephone line to MIC jack.
