OPERATION

TURNING ON THE SCANNER/
SETTING VOLUME AND SQUELCH

Note: Make sure the scanner’s antenna is connected be-
fore you turn it on.

1. Turn

SQUELCH

fully counterclockwise.

2. Turn

VOLUME

clockwise until it clicks and you hear a

hissing sound.

3. Turn

SQUELCH

clockwise until the hissing sound

stops.

Notes:

• If the scanner picks up unwanted, partial, or very

weak transmissions, turn

SQUELCH

clockwise to

decrease the scanner’s sensitivity to these signals. If
you want to listen to a weak or distant station, turn

SQUELCH

counterclockwise.

• If

SQUELCH

is adjusted so you always hear a hissing

sound, the scanner does not scan properly.
