Introduction
Thank you for choosing the transceiver ZS-1. We ho e that you have fun while using
your ZS-1.
The Transceiver ZS-1 works as a „direct sam ling“ receiver, and also the transmitter
signal is created digitally by digital synthesis. The characteristics of the transceiver
will be determined in large art by the software or firmware, which is constantly be-
ing im roved.
The Transceiver ZS-1 is designed for use in radio amateur stations, together with a
PC using the o erating systems Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and
Windows XP.

Panel description
Rear panel
1 GND
Grounding terminal. Connect this terminal to a ground to revent electrical
shocks and ensure o timum erformance.
2 12-15 VDC
Jack for the su ly voltage. The inner contact of the connector has to be
connected to the ositive terminal of the ower su ly, the outer contact with
negative one.
WRONG POLARITY (REVERSED) WILL DAMAGE THE TRANSCEIVER.
BEFORE CONNECTING A POWER SUPPLY TO THE TRANSCEIVER, lease check that
the both devices (transceiver and ower su ly) are grounded. A missing or
im ro er ground connection can be the reason of electrical shock to the o erator
or can im air ro er o eration of the transceiver.
Please be sure that no electrical contact exists between the outer contact of the
connector (negative terminal) and the transceiver chassis. This could lead to
increased RFI.
