Operation 53 Amateur radio data communications by connecting with computer X5105 transceiver can be connected with computer and complete all kinds of data communications under the help of computer softwares. Operation and connection methods: 1. Connect computer audio output/input to X5105 from ACC interface (MINI-DIN8). 2. Insert attached data cable into COM (or CIV) interface, connect X5105 with computer, and ensure that drive of computer of data cable is correctly installed and PC software can control the X5105 transceiver; 3. Adjust the volume of X5105 and input/output volume of ACC interface to a proper level and observe software interface to avoid communication failure caused by excessive audio range. 4. Select corresponding working modes, i.e., carry out data communication.  Radio and computer must be well grounded to avoid interference, and EMC magnet ring shall be installed for data cable and audio cable at the position close to main machine of radio to greatest extent. Operation 54 System parameter configuration Personalized settings can be achieved for transceiver in system settings menu to make it fit your using habit in a better way. Operation methods: 1. Press and hold [MENU] key for 1s to enter system settings menu; 2. Press [<] and [>] multi-function keys at the bottom of screen to call out the menu items you want to adjust; 3. Rotate major knob to set parameters you wanted; 4. Press [SAVE] key in a short time to save current settings and exit menu mode after setting.  If pressing [QUIT] key in a short key in step 4 mentioned above, new settings will not be saved and the equipment will exit menu mode of the system.
