MONITORING A CHANNEL

When no signals are present, the squelch on the transceiver

automatically mutes the speaker so you will not hear

background noise. Using the MON key, you can disable the

squelch to unmute the speaker at any time. This feature is

useful for a variety of reasons:

• It allows you to confirm the channel activity so that you

don’t make a call while another party is using the same

channel.

• It allows you to adjust the volume level without having to

wait for a call.

• When receiving a call that is intermittent due to a weak

signal, disabling the squelch will allow you to listen to the

call without it continuously cutting out.

To manually deactivate the squelch, press and

hold the MON key.

• When deactivated, the icon appears on the

display and the LED lights green.

To return to normal operation, simply release the

MON key.
