Rotate the volume control clockwise past
the ‘click’ to turn the TX6200 on. Rotate

ADJUSTING THE RECEIVER
VOLUME
While receiving a signal, rotate the
volume control to achieve a comfortable
listening level.
If there are no signals present, press the
Monitor key briefly to open the squelch,
then adjust the volume while listening to
the receiver’s background noise. When
finished, briefly press the Monitor key
again to return the receiver to the
quiet state.
NOTE: The minimum setting of the volume
control has been factory preset so that,
even with the volume turned right down,
you can still safely listen to an incoming
signal with your ear against the speaker
(telephone style).
FUNCTION KEY
The F (Function) key is used to access the
functions marked in Red on the four keys
below the LCD. To select a function, briefly
press the F
key (‘F’ will be displayed) then
press the key labelled with the required
function. If no key is selected within
10 seconds, the radio will return to
normal operation.
SQUELCH
The Squelch is used to eliminate any
annoying background noise when there
are no signals present. The TX6200
features a preset Squelch system. The
Squelch level has been preset to provide
optimum performance in most situations.
The Squelch can be opened or closed
with the Monitor key. When the Squelch
is open the receiver’s background noise
can be heard, the BUSY Icon is displayed
and the Indicator LED glows GREEN.
When the Squelch is closed, the radio
remains quiet when there are no signals
present but any incoming signals will
override the Squelch and be heard in
the speaker.
