Operating Procedure to Receive

1.Be sure that the power source, antenna and microphone are properly con- nected.

2.Turn the unit on by rotating the Volume control clockwise.

3.Set the channel selector switch to the desired channel.

4.Set the Volume control to a comfortable listening level.

5.Listen to the background noise from the speaker. Turn the Squelch control clockwise until the noise disappears (no signal should be present). Leave the control at this setting. The squelch is now properly set. The receiver will re- main quiet until a signal is actually received. Do not advance the control too far, or some weaker signals will not be heard.

6.When a transmission is heard you can adjust the Tone control for optimum reception. Turn the control clockwise for better treble response. Turn the control counterclockwise for better bass response. If the transmission has annoying high frequency distortion try activating the Hi Cut feature.

OPERATING PROCEDURE TO TRANSMIT

1.Be sure the operator has read and understands D.G.C rules and regulations prior to operating the transmitter.

2.Select the desired channel for transmission.

3.If the channel is clear, depress the push-to-talk switch on the side of the microphone and speak in a normal voice.

CAUTION: The transceiver Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (V.S.W.R.)measure-

ment must beJ2.erformed prior to the use of the transmitter. A "V.S.W.R."ratio in excess of l2J may damage the transmitter. Please check your SWRreading frequently by following the steps in the Mobile Antenna section.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

At six to twelve month inteNals, the following system checks should be made:

L Check the Standing Wave Ratio (V.S.W.R.).

2.Inspect all electrical connections.

3.Inspect antenna coaxial cable for wear.

4.Inspect all screws and other mounting hardware.
