Turning the knob clockwise increases the volume; turning it counterclockwise reduces the volume. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise until you hear a “click” switches off the speaker completely.
General alert tones will be sounded on the external speaker as long as it is switched on. Received Distress or Urgency calls as well as the Weather Alert Alarm will sound at maximum volume regardless of whether the external speaker is switched on or off
Note: The external speaker is included with the Second Station Full Function Handset kit but not the Single Station kit.

Most of the keys on the handset control secondary operations, indicated by the label (in gold) above them. To initiate the operation marked on the label, press the FUNC key (also labeled in gold) followed by the key. When the FUNC key is pressed, the FUNC indicator is displayed on the LCD display. If no other key is pressed for 5 seconds, the Function operation is cancelled and the FUNC indicator disappears.
