Turn the radio on and off

Use the rotary knob on the speaker to turn the radio on and off, and to adjust the volume.

Turn clockwise (right) to turn on. A white indicator light appears. Turn counter-clockwise (left) to turn off. When you turn off the radio,

it remembers the last working channel and displays this when you turn the radio on again.

The radio has a variety of beep tones to indicate different operations, but the beeps will not sound if you set the volume level to zero.
