ON/OFF Volume Knob: In the off position your transceiver power is off. Turn this control clockwise to switch on the unit and adjust the volume.
Microphone Connector: Plug in the supplied microphone to this connector. Received signals will not be heard without the microphone.
CB/PA Button: When in PA mode, it causes your voice to operate the optional external PA speaker. In CB mode, the microphone operates the transmitter.
ANL ON/OFF Button: Press this button once to activate the automatic noise limiter. When in ANL mode, ignition noise will be reduced. Press the button again to deactivate ANL.
Weather(WX) Scan/CB Button: Press this button once to activate the weather scan. The radio will begin scanning and lock on the first weather channel broadcast signal strong enough to use. If later the signal becomes too weak to use the unit will automatically resume scanning to find a usable signal. The user can also make the unit scan to another channel by pressing the microphone PTT button. The unit will rescan channels each time the CB/WX button is used to listen to weather. When the radio is in weather scan mode, the user cannot use the CB/PA function.
Squelch Control: This control is used to cut off or eliminate receiver background noise in the absence of an incoming sig- nal. For maximum receiver sensitivity it is desired that the control be adjusted only to the point where the receiver back- ground noise or background noise is eliminated. Adjust until the receiver noise disappears. This will require the incoming signal to be slightly stronger than the average receiver noise. Further clockwise rotation will increase the threshold level which a signal must overcome in order to be heard. Only strong signals will be heard at a maximum clockwise setting
RF Gain: This control is used primarily to optimize reception in strong signal areas. Gain is reduced by counter clockwise rotation of the control.
Channel Knob: This knob selects any one of the 40 Citizens Band channels. The selected channel is indicated by the LED readout, directly above the Channel Knob.
