Power/Volume
The volume knob at the top right of the radio’s face is used to power up the LVR 850. Turn the knob clockwise to turn on the radio. The unit will start on Ch. 2, then switch to Ch. 16, its default priority channel.
Squelch
Squelch, the bottom knob on the radio’s face, helps the unit screen out radio traffic resulting from signals that are too weak to transmit any- thing but noise. To adjust the squelch, turn it to the left until noise can be heard. Turn it back to the right until the noise is eliminated.
