BASIC OPERATION

SWITCHING THE POWER ON/OFF

Turn the PWR/VOL control clockwise to switch the transceiver ON.

• The power on message momentarily appears on the display.

Turn the PWR/VOL control counterclockwise to switch the transceiver OFF.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME

Rotate the PWR/VOL control to adjust the volume. Clockwise increases the

volume and counterclockwise decreases it.

• If you are not receiving a signal, press and hold [MONI] to unmute the speaker, then

adjust the volume control to a comfortable audio output level.

ADJUSTING THE SQUELCH

The purpose of Squelch is to mute the speaker when no signals are present.

With the squelch level correctly set, you will hear sound only while actually

receiving signals. The higher the selected squelch level, the stronger the signals

must be to receive. The appropriate squelch level depends on the ambient RF

noise conditions.

1 Press [SQL].

• The squelch level appears on the display.

2 Rotate the ENC control to adjust the level.

• Select the level at which the background noise is just eliminated when no signal is

present.

• The higher the level, the stronger the signals must be to receive.

• 6 different levels can be set. 0: Minimum ~ 5: Maximum; 2 is the default value.

3 Press any key other than [MONI] or [LAMP] to store the new setting and exit

the squelch adjustment.
