Follow these steps to set up your Xiegu X6100 transceiver for initial operation:

1. ബാറ്ററി ചാർജ് ചെയ്യുക: Connect the provided power adapter to the DC IN port (9-15V) on the X6100 and plug it into a power outlet. The built-in 3000mAh lithium battery will begin charging. Ensure the battery is fully charged before extensive portable use.
2. ആന്റിന ബന്ധിപ്പിക്കുക: Attach your HF/50MHz antenna to the ANT connector on the radio. Ensure a secure connection.
3. സ്പീക്കർ മൈക്രോഫോൺ ബന്ധിപ്പിക്കുക: Plug the multi-function speaker microphone into the designated microphone port.
4. ബാഹ്യ പവർ (ഓപ്ഷണൽ): For extended operation or higher power output (when connected to an amplifier), connect an external 9-15V DC power source to the DC IN port.
5. Connecting to XPA125B Ampലൈഫയർ (ഓപ്ഷണൽ): The X6100 can expand its output power to 100W when connected to the Xiegu XPA125B power amplifier using an L4001 cable (not included). After connection, the X6100 automatically controls the band switching of the XPA125B, and ALC control is established. It is recommended to set the X6100's output power to ≤2.5W to protect the power ampജീവൻ.
