If you do not start keying within ten seconds, the memory storage process will be cancelled.

    7. Press the [MEM] key on the FH-2once more at the end of your message. Up to 50 characters may be stored in each of the five memories.

NOTE:
You must exercise care in sending to ensure that the spaces between letters and words are accurately done; if your timing is off, the spacing may not come out right in the stored message. For ease in setting up the keyer memories, we recommend you set Menu item "018 F KEYER TYPE" and/or "020 R KEYER TYPE" to "ACS" (Automatic Character Spacing) while you are programming the keyer memories.

    2. Press the [MONI] button to enable the CW monitor.

    3. Press the FH-2 [1] ~ [5] key, whichever memory you just recorded in. You will hear the results in the sidetone monitor, but no RF energy will be transmitted.

ADVICE:
You may adjust the monitor level setting using Menu item "036 MONITOR LEVEL".

On-The-Air CW Message Playback

    2. Press the FH-2 [1] ~ [5] key, depending on which CW Memory Register message you wish to transmit. The programmed message will be transmitted on the air.

NOTE:
If you subsequently decide to use the "Text Memory" technique for memory storage, please note that a message stored using keyer paddle input will not be transferred over when you select "Text Memory technique" on a particular memory register (theMenu Mode Setting is set to "TEXT").
