display. As you receive signals, the signal meter on the dis-
play shows the incoming signal strength.
Important! Channel 9 is reserved for motorist assistance
and for reporting emergency information about accidents,
hazardous road conditions, and so on. Always give emer-
gency messages priority on Channel 9.

Note: Do not turn SQUELCH too far clockwise because you
might cut out weak signals, too.
5. Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable listening level.
6. To turn off the walkie-talkie, turn VOLUME counterclockwise
until you hear it click.
