RECEIVING
SWITCHING POWER ON/OFF
To switch ON your transceiver, turn the PWRA/OL
control clockwise and set it at the 11 o’clock position.
Various indicators, including a receive frequency, appear
on the display. Due to the automatic squelch feature, no
sound will be heard from the speaker until you receive a
call.
Use the same control to adjust the volume more
precisely while receiving your first call, or press [MON!]
and adjust the PWR/VOL control to set the background
noise to a comfortable level. Pressing [MONI] always
allows you to listen to activity on the selected frequency
as long as this key is held down.
To switch OFF the transceiver, turn the PWR/VOL
control counterclockwise until it clicks at the OFF
position.
SQUELCH THRESHOLD LEVEL
The receiver squelch is automatically controlled by the
transceiver’s microcomputer based on the measured
noise level. However, you can override the
microcomputer setting, if you wish.
1 Turn the ENC/SQL control to select a frequency that
is not busy.
