1. PUBLIC ADDRESS: An external 8-ohm 4.0 watt PA speaker may be con- nected to the PA Speaker Jack when this unit is used as a public address system. The speaker should be directed away from the microphone to prevent acoustic feed-back. Physical separation or isolation of the micro- phone and speaker must be employed when operating the PA at high output levels.

2. EXTERNAL SPEAKER: The External Speaker Jack is used for remote receiver monitoring. The external speaker should have 8-ohm impedance and be rated to handle at least 4.0 watts. When the external speaker is plugged in, the internal speaker is automatically disconnected.

Operation (Cont.)

3. ANTENNA CONNECTOR: This SO-239 connector permits connection of the transmission line cable PL-259 connector to the transceiver.

4. POWER. This jack permits connection of the DC power to the transceiver. A power cord with polarized plug is supplied with the radio. The polar- ized plug ensures that the power will always be connected properly.

Operating Procedure to Receive

1. Be sure that the power cord, antenna and microphone are connected to the proper connectors before proceeding further. The PA/CB should be in the CB position.

7. Set VOLUME CONTROL to a comfortable listening level.

8. Engage the SoundTracker system by depressing the button labeled ST.

Listen to the background noise from the speaker. Turn the SQUELCH CON- TROL slowly clockwise until the noise JUST disappears (no signal should be present). Leave the control at this setting. The squelch is now properly adjust- ed. The receiver will remain quiet until a signal is actually received. Do not advance the control too far, or some of the weaker signals will not be heard. The revolutionary SoundTracker system allows you to reduce unwanted background noise (static) and increase the signal for better reception.
