7 CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

NOTE

This section defines each control of the transceiver. See Figures for lo- cation of controls. For detailed operating instructions refer to section “8

BASIC OPERATION.”

POWER SWITCH / VOLUME CONTROL (VOL/PWR)

Turns the transceiver on and off as well as adjusts the audio volume. Press and hold this knob for one second to turn the radio on. Clockwise rotation of this knob increases the audio volume level.

Press and hold this knob for two seconds to turn the radio off.

SQUELCH CONTROL (SQL)

Adjusting this control clockwise, sets the point at which random noise on the channel does not activate the audio circuits but a received signal will. This point is called the squelch threshold. Further adjustment of the squelch control will degrade reception of wanted transmissions.

CHANNEL SELECTOR KNOB

The rotary knob is used to select channels and to choose menu items (such as the DSC menu, radio setup menu, and DSC setup menu). The [UP(S)] / [DOWN(T)] keys on the microphone can also be used to select channels and menu items.

Secondary Use

While holding down the [SCAN(MEM)] key and turning the CHANNEL se- lector knob, you can confirm memory channels for scanning.
