A. CONTROL FUNCTIONS

1.POWER SWITCH. Press in to turn on radio. Press in, again, and release to turn off radio.

2.DYNAMIKE. Adjusts the microphone gain in the transmit mode. This controls the gain to the extent that full talk power is available several inches away from the microphone.

3.VOLUME. Turn clockwise to set the desired listening level.

4.SQUELCH . This control is used to cut off or eliminate receiver background noise in the absence of an incoming signal. For maximum receiver sensitivity the control should be adjusted only to the point where the receiver background noise or ambient background noise is eliminated. Turn fully counterclockwise then slowly clockwise until the receiver noise disappears. Any signal to be received must now be slightly stronger than the average received 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.

5.RF GAIN CONTROL. Adjust as required to optimize the signal. This control is used primarily to optimize reception in strong signal areas. Gain is reduced by counterclockwise rotation of the control.
